Malky Mackay: Delighted with board backing

Malky Mackay has admitted he has been "overwhelmed" by the backing given to him by Cardiff's board this season.

Mackay, who led the Bluebirds to the Carling Cup final with a penalty shootout victory over Crystal Palace on Tuesday, has only been in the job for seven months since arriving from Watford.

In that time he has completely revamped his squad and backroom team but maintained the same winning mentality at the club. And the Scot insists he has only been able to do that because of the support of chairman Dato Chan Tien Ghee and the rest of the directors at the Cardiff City Stadium.

"I'm overwhelmed with the support they've given me, the support our Welsh directors have given me, allowing me to bring in the staff I did - the staff who have integrated here," he said.

"Everyone's been pushing in one direction this season and the support I've been given to be allowed to put the structure in place that I wanted to put in place.

"They've backed me and I've been overwhelmed with the support."

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
