If revenge is a dish best served cold, Vincent Tan's retribution on his former Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay came straight from the freezer.

The Cardiff owner effectively ended Mackay's career in football after a series of events straight out of the Sopranos. The Malaysian is undoubtedly a good friend, but a very bad enemy as Mackay continues to find out.

Mackay was sacked by Tan last December after guiding Cardiff to the Premier League. The Scot launched a £7.5 million lawsuit against Tan, but mysteriously Mackay not only dropped the claim, he issued a public apology to his former employer. To say this was unexpected is an understatement.
