LONDON (Reuters) - Former Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay said on Friday he was sorry for sending offensive text messages and the League Managers Association (LMA) apologised for the wording of a statement issued in response to the situation.

Cardiff, however, were not satisfied by the LMA's reaction, calling for the resignation of the organisation's chief executive Richard Bevan and accusing the body of trying to conceal the messages.
