After weeks of chasing the story, Chief Sports Reporter Matt Lawton discovers Cardiff have sent a dossier to the FA, claiming former Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay and Crystal Palace Sporting Director Iain Moody had exchanged \u2018racist, sexist and homophobic\u2019 texts and email messages. With the final piece of his investigation falling into place, Lawton contacts all parties for comments. Sky Sports News reports that Mackay, who was expected to be named as the new Crystal Palace manager, has pulled out of the running to replace Tony Pulis. Moody\u2019s lawyers attempt unsuccessfully to stop the Daily Mail from publishing the allegations. The Daily Mail publishes the exclusive story. Shortly after, former Cardiff City midfielder Ibrahim Farah takes to Twitter to label Mackay \u2018disgusting\u2019 and to complain about his treatment at the hands of Mackay. Moody resigns from his role at Crystal Palace. Leading football figures and anti-bigotry campaigners welcome the story, and call for swift action if allegations are substantiated. Early in the evening, Mackay\u2019s agent speaks to Sky Sports News, saying the former Cardiff manager is shocked by the allegations and will fight them.

Sportsmail publishes further details, with Lawton pointing out that, contrary to Mackay\u2019s claims, the former Cardiff manager was reponsible for both racist and homophobic texts.

Only diesel models will be on sale initially and there will be a beefed-up 4x4 version hitting the road in July . It's hard to believe, but the Passat has been around for 42 years. More than 22 million have been made since 1973. So this is the eighth generation. It's a proven and indefatigable workhorse \u2014 the fact that the estate version comfortably outsells the svelte saloon testifies to that. Brits bought 10,000 estates in 2013, against 7,600 saloons. The Passat is the fourth biggest-selling VW here after the Golf, Polo and Up!. Used as much for work as for leisure and pleasure, these estates can take a pounding. This new version really does look and feel like the business, but is it more than just a pretty face? It certainly has kerb appeal with elegant styling. Even the doorman at a fivestar London hotel \u2014 more used to parking Ferraris, and Bentleys \u2014 was moved unprompted to comment on how smart it looked. Goes from rest to 62mph in 8.9 seconds \u2014 and feels faster as you go through the six-speed manual gearbox. Top speed is 135mph. Five driving modes include comfort, normal, sport or 'eco'.

It averaged 68.9mpg \u2014 76.3mpg when cruising and 59.9mpg around town. CO2 emissions are a low 107g/ km. An even more frugal 78mpg BlueMotion version arrives in June. A stop-start system helps keep fuel bills low. There's keyless entry, plus and heated seats and steering wheel for which, in this cold snap, I was very grateful. Ample flexible interior space; slightly more than in the outgoing model, even though its exterior dimensions are slightly smaller. The three rear seats fold nearly flat for extra load lugging capability. Smart but unfussy interior, with supportive seats that have plenty of reclining and setting options to ensure comfort for drivers and passengers of all shapes and sizes. Stylish cloth fabric on the seats with silver inserts also add to the business-like feel. Easy to drive and intuitive to a degree that means you quickly become at home. Five trim levels from launch: S, SE, SE Business (my vehicle), GT and R-Line. The latter two include a range topping two-litre bi-turbo TDi diesel engine with 240 bhp and four-wheel drive. From \u00a322,215 for the saloon, but add on \u00a31,530 for the estate. Lots of electronic kit to keep you safe and stable on the road. Easy-to-read dials, but VW plans an optional 12.3 in display to replace the conventional instrument cluster. Rear cameras make reversing into the tightest of spaces much easier. There may be a lot of technology on board but it's simply displayed on an uncluttered dashboard. The touchscreen is relatively easy to navigate. For anyone keen on the great outdoors, a 'trailer-assist' feature helps to manoeuvre trailers more accurately. Only diesel models are on sale at first. A frugal plug-in hybrid GTE version with a 1.4-litre TSi petrol and electric motor version is to follow in October, promising a combined range of more than 620 miles or 31 miles in pure electric mode.
