ncfc_1902 0 Posted August 17, 2010 I think morally it certainly is, however I also expect that often it is corrupt in terms of the laws and regulations that have been set (ie finances and transfers). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ooh Ahh Lee Power 2 Posted August 17, 2010 Well how can Cardiff get Bellamy when they have had all the financial problems, and still owe Motherwell money amongst others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncfc_1902 0 Posted August 17, 2010 That''s part of my thinking, apparently Cardiff are paying £45k of his weekly wage which is ridiculous for a club who were apparently in trouble financially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobert 0 Posted August 17, 2010 Does it really matter? Isn''t it a "Love and War" situation where all is fair? I guess as long at we beat Ipswich we do not care how we do it? No one makes us take an interest in football and I suppose there are better and more worth while things to do on a Saturday afternoon.I could cut a pensioners lawn for example and make him/her very happy.

ncfc_1902 0 Posted August 17, 2010 At the press conference Cardiff''s Chief Exec had a smirk on his face when he acknowledged that Cardiff were making a ''contribution''.Bellers also confirmed that he is still getting paid the same overall, just by two different clubs now.

Lambert is King 0 Posted August 17, 2010 Its ridiculos, if this was any other type of business trading beyond its means the directors would risk prison. It just goes to show that ( although I would have felt sorry for the fans ) Portsmouth should have been made to cease trading. All the Portsmouth ruling has done has allowed yet more chairman to chase the Premiership dream with money they have not got. In my opinion this is basically cheating.Should this go wrong on Cardiff I think they should be thrown out of the league - no appeal no nothing. If they can afford a reported £45000 per week ( half his wages ) then surely they can afford to pay Motherwell and the tax man. £2.5m per year thats most of our player budget gone in one player. Most premiership clubs could not have afforded this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one complained about that who supported Norwich.[/quote]But we hadn''t just fought off a winding up order and were about to be served another one because a club hadn''t been paid a transfer fee from over a year ago. So I don''t really see your point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
