CARDIFF -- Cardiff fired manager Malky Mackay on Friday following a
destabilizing power struggle with owner Vincent Tan.

nba jerseys . The Scotsman was dismissed only five days after being
told by the club he would remain in charge for the "foreseeable future." But
despite that assurance, there was a caveat that Mackay had to heal his rift with
Tan, which seemed unlikely given the owners apparent refusal to meet with him in
recent months. The Malaysian owner and Mackay clashed over the dismissal of head
of recruitment Iain Moody in October. And Mackays future at the south Wales club
seemed to be doomed when he received an ultimatum last week from Tan to resign
or be fired in an email that listed grievances against the manager. The
lingering uncertainty over Mackays future fuelled protests against Tans running
of the club at matches, with the tensions overshadowing Cardiffs first season in
the Premier League. Now the team is in a struggle to stay in the league, with a
loss to Southampton on Wednesday leaving them only a point above the relegation
zone. Tan fired Mackay on the eve of Saturdays match against last-place
Sunderland. "The Board of Directors at Cardiff City Football Club have today
relieved Malky Mackay of his duties," the club statement said Friday. "A new
first team manager will be appointed and announced in due course." The
bookmakers favourite for the job is former Manchester United forward Ole Gunnar
Solksjaer, who has established himself as a manager in his home country of
Norway, winning the league twice with Molde.

Gerald Green scored 23 points against his former team, leading six Phoenix
players in double figures, and the Suns emphatically snapped Indianas five-game
winning streak with a 124-100 victory Wednesday night that matched the Pacers
most one-sided loss of the season. Indiana, with the leagues best record (33-8)
and the NBA leader in scoring defence and field goal percentage defence, gave up
the most points it has all season. Goran Dragic scored 21, Markieff Morris 20,
P.J. Tucker 13, Miles Plumlee 11 and Channing Frye 10 for the Suns. Paul George
scored 26, George Hill 16 and David West 13 for Indiana. Phoenix scored 62
points in each half, the most allowed by the Pacers in any half this season.
Phoenix led by 13 at the half, as many as 24 in the third quarter and 26 in the
fourth. Green and Plumlee came to the Suns along with a first-round draft pick
in a trade that sent Luis Scola to Indiana in the off-season. Scola scored five
on Wednesday night. The Suns shot 54 per cent, including 11 of 16 from 3-point
range. The Pacers committed 21 turnovers, resulting in 27 Phoenix points. The
Suns had 10 turnovers for 10 Indiana points. The Suns led 62-49 at the break.
The onslaught started when Phoenix opened the second quarter with a 14-2 run
that put the Suns ahead 44-31. Frye and Green each sank a 3 in the surge.

Suns led 96-79 entering the fourth. The Pacers scored the first four points of
the final quarter to make it 96-83 but Ish Smith scored on a drive, Morris sank
consecutive 3s and Phoenix led 105-83 in one of the most raucous environments at
