Mackay's acrimonious departure was the inevitable result of his turbulent relationship with Malaysian tycoon Tan,.
Tan laid the blame for that with Mackay, who he believes attempted to garner sympathy from the Cardiff supporters with some of his comments about the club's owners.
"There has been a good deal of publicity generated by, and about, Mr Malky Mackay for the last few months," Tan said in a statement.
"Indeed, far too much dirty linen has been exposed to the public gaze but, I stress, not by me.
"Indeed, I have deliberately not responded to this, hoping that the club can be judged on its football rather than personalised arguments about who said what to whom."
There has been ill-feeling between the two since Tan's removal of Iain Moody as his head of recruitment in October, and the owner was said to be furious at Mackay's hopes of adding to his squad in January, which resulted in last week's incendiary email.
Mackay, who has already been linked with the vacancy at West Brom, insisted he had nothing to be ashamed about despite Tan's stinging criticism.
"As disappointing as today's decision is, I am already able to look back at my time at the club with immense pride and joy given the number of milestones the club achieved during the last two-and-a-half years."
Among those in the frame to replace Mackay are former Manchester United striker and Molde manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Sven-Goran Eriksson and Turkish journeyman Yilmaz Vural.
