Hear the full interview with Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay on BBC Radio Wales Sport Chief executive Simon Lim astonished fans by saying Mackay had made Tan "extremely upset" in hoping to recruit three new players in the January transfer window. "I will not resign from my post," Mackay told Radio Wales Sport in an exclusive interview. The manager added that Lim's statement on Monday had surprised him. Lim had said Tan felt Mackay had sufficient funds to keep the club in the Premier League. In the interview to be broadcast on Tuesday evening on BBC Radio Wales, Mackay, who returned Cardiff City to the top flight after a 51-year absence, said he had heard nothing from owner Vincent Tan or chief executive Simon Lim before their statement. I was surprised obviously, but at the same time my job doesn't change... the job my staff have done for two-and-a-half years, it's a job only three-quarters done as far as I am concerned in making Cardiff a sustainable Premier League team. I have been in situations before when a board has had no money In Monday's statement said: "Tan Sri Vincent Tan was extremely upset to read quotes from the manager concerning the possibility of new recruits, before he had been informed whether funds would be made available. Moody was replaced as head of recruitment in October by Kazakh Alisher Apsalyamov, who was at Cardiff on work experience before his appointment and has since been temporarily suspended in a query over his visa. A Cardiff City fans group has backed Mackay after he was publicly criticised by Tan. It's a very sad state of affairs. The fans will back Mackay because he is popular," said Tim Hartley, chair of the Cardiff City Supporters Trust.
