Cardiff City’s board members will boycott Tuesday’s Championship game at Wigan in protest at what they allege to be a club owned and managed by racists.
.
At least two members of the board were planning to travel but owner Vincent Tan has instructed them not to and they are said to support his position.
.
Wigan owner Dave Whelan was fined £50,000 for
making racist comments about Jewish and Chinese
people and served a six-week ban from football.
Wigan declined to comment on Tuesday.
.
The Football Association disciplinary commission
that punished Latics owner Whelan said it was
“satisfied” he “is not a racist” and that he had not
intended to cause offence.
.
The 78-year-old’s comments were made as he
defended the appointment of Malky Mackay as the
new Latics manager in November.
.
Mackay is currently under investigation by the FA
regarding allegations he sent “sexist, racist and
homophobic” text messages during his time in
charge of Cardiff.
.
The Scot admitted sending offensive messages and
apologised, adding that he is not racist, sexist,
homophobic or anti-Semitic.
.
Mackay was sacked by the Bluebirds in December
2013.
