FA credibility damaged by Mackay decision, say campaigners

Anti-racism campaigners have accused the Football Association of damaging its own credibility and undermining its stance on discrimination after deciding not to charge former Cardiff boss Malky Mackay.

The FA announced on Thursday that neither the Scot nor the club's then head of recruitment Iain Moody would face disciplinary action over discriminatory text messages they exchanged during their time at the club.

Kick it Out, which seeks to tackle racism and discrimination within football, has hit out at the move.

The Football Association says that the messages were sent "with a legitimate expectation of privacy".
