    I'd have McKay. Honestly I can't believe so many of you won't give a bloke a second chance.

    True, we all make mistakes. Mine tend not to involve repeatedly texting cartoonishly offensive comments to my colleague though because I'm an adult and 'don't chat racist and homophobic shite' was something I learned quite a while ago, so I'm less inclined to shrug it off as a wee little mistake.

    Wigan gave him a second chance and look how it went for them.

    do you think Diarra, Sarr, Ba, Cousins, Vetekele and all the other foreign players will be able to play under him though given the situation?
    I know that if I turned up to work and I knew my new boss was a racist towards my orientation then I wouldn't be doing much work and I would be looking for a new job also.
    If our squad was all British then we could probably give him a go, but I think motivation will be an issue for many of the players and thats another backward step.
    Poyet or Lambert for me if they would come.

    Malkay's racist comments wouldn't bother me, particularly in the context of what actually happened.

    How he did at Wigan would though.

    He's not racist. You've probably said the odd inappropriate comment. It doesn't define your fucking life ffs

    So what's he got to do to classify as racist, if using racist language, racial stereotypes and racist attitudes isn't enough?

    Dress up in a KKK outfit and carry out a halftime lynching using the away end crossbar?

    OK Exiled Addict. I'll flip your comments.

    So a bloke has to send a racist text message and suddenly his entire outlook on the human race is one where he views non-white people as inferior?

    Except it wasn't one text, it was multiple text/emails, and it wasn't just black people it was Asians and Jews as well. Not to mention the stuff about women and homosexuals.

    Where did that stuff come from then? If it ain't in your head you don't text it. It didn't just appear from nowhere - he made a conscious decision about it.

    Didn't one of Mackay's former South Korean players re-sign for him at Wigan?

    I get it, you're all squeaky clean liberals who have never done as much as drop a KitKat wrapper on the pavement but stop condemning people to a lifetime of unemployment.

    If you want a racist as manager that's fine. I assume you'd classify his texts as 'banter'. Are you a relative of his?

    He's probably a nice bloke who deeply regrets what he did.

    I once had a flat-mate who asked if she could play one week in my team's 5-a-side football team. I told her that she couldn't as all women are shit at football. It was a joke.

    This may come as a big shock to you Exiled Addict but I am not a raging sexist. I can categorically confirm this.

    If you think those two things are comparable it explains why you can't understand why some of us could consider him a racist.

    What are you basing this on? I can only form an opinion based on the evidence I've been presented with. Thus I think he's a nasty piece of work. You may be right, only difference is I've got proof and you've got wishful thinking.

    Nick, do yourself a favour and just read through the comments he made that Garrymanilow has quoted. They are horrible. It's not the case that he just made a one-off ill-considered 'joke'. We can tell that because a) there's no way that any of that is funny b) because there's loads of it.

    I don't want to condemn him to unemployment, but I don't want him in a high profile role at our club.

    The above link was The FA's statement regarding Mackay but I will highlight one particular paragraph below

    "However, The FA has spoken to both Iain Moody and Malky Mackay about the inappropriateness of terms used in the messages. Both individuals have acknowledged that such terms are not acceptable. Mr Mackay has also voluntarily undertaken equality and diversity training."

    The way I see it Mackay made a mistake, he's held his hands up and apologised and taken action to learn from his mistake.

    Regardless whether he becomes our next manager or not Mackay should be allowed to pursue with his career not left hung out to dry forever.

    A few drink in chislehurst, seen with my own eyes. Can't confirm Malkay rumour, but is feasible

    Yes I hope the next Charlton manager hates people based on their ethnicity. Honestly what a fucking idiotic reply
    You seem quite happy with his stream of racist texts - you obviously don't have a problem with the language. If he wasn't racist he wouldn't have sent them.
    Go back to the 1970s where you belong....

    Well that's okay then. A bit of diversity training and he's a changed man who now understands that racism and homophobia aren't okay. Phew!

    I don't live in London at the moment. Have planned trips back for Sheff Wed home and Brum away. If Mackay is manager, I won't go.

    "Here are some of the text messages alleged to have been shared by (Ian) Moody and Mackay, 42:

    "He's a snake, a gay snake. Not to be trusted." Referring to an official at another club.
    "Not many white faces amongst that lot but worth considering." Referring to a list of potential signings.
    "Go on, fat Phil. Nothing like a Jew that sees money slipping through his fingers." On football agent Phil Smith.""

    Nah, no thanks.

    It is ridiculous to get on the Charlton Life high horse and condemn Mackay for a few silly remarks made by e-mail between professional colleagues.

    I'll tell you what's important between professional colleagues: their ability to play properly in front of 15,000 fans. We have Pope who parries, and Henderson who was beaten at his near post; we have defenders who are simply absent at crosses; we have a long litany of midfielders who are vapid and vacuous; and we have 'strikers' who are mentally and physically incapable of any attacking skills.

    Who cares if Mackay made a frivolous comment to his colleague five years ago? We have a squad of professional players who can't even pass the ball accurately from one man to the next.

    If, by "frivolous comment", you mean the string of racist, homophobic and sexist invective he chose to send, then I care.

    Big Mak lives around Petts Wood so not too far away from Chislehurst

    Half the first team squad live in Bickley, chiselhurst, petts wood........Watt lives in woolwich
    Woolwich? I know our budget is small for the league but I would expect our star player to live somewhere slightly more affluent than Woolwich
    From his Instagram it looks like he lives in a nice modern development right next to the river. Looks really nice actually
    He does, near the new crossrail site, Tracey Leaburn posted a few pics a while back when he moved in
