The moron has since provided his list of clubs he thinks they are bigger than. Absolutely comical.

He is an habitual Consulate user about to be sectioned under the menthol health act.

I know that as City fans we are completely biased, but I for one would be astounded had SL dealt with this situation as Cardiff has done.

Blackburn Rovers have played in the Champions League. But Bristol Rovers have won the Watney Cup. That means they are equal. #gaslogic

And the Fewers wonder why we keep calling them the gift that keeps on giving.... That said, I did read earlier that a group of them have got together to do some restoration work on the memorial gates before remembrance Sunday after they were damaged, so hats off to them for that.

Those honours make Blackburn considerably bigger than we are. So if Rovers are bigger than Blackburn, and Blackburn are bigger than us, then Rovers are bigger than City. That ladies and gentlemen is how #GasLogic works.

This seems to confirm what I heard Simon Jordan say on Talksport recently. His comment was that when money is involved, football has no integrity. Sala was flying to Cardiff for his first training session with his new club, so it is only with the benefit of hindsight, and the inconvenient death of said player en route , that the contract became an issue or Cardiff, especially as it seems the issue with the contract is down to Cardiff's error. Given the emotive nature of the circumstances, I am amazed that Cardiff has not sought to find a settlement agreed privately between the clubs and away from publicity.

Massive understatement. They come out of this absolutely stinking of shit. Disgusting what they're doing to try and get out of a relatively small transfer fee, given the sums of money they would've received from reaching the Premier League. Sadly, I think a lot of clubs would've taken this sort of action, as it seems money is everything to them.

In all fairness, why should there be a 'settlement'? Cardiff agreed to buy a player for X amount. The fact he didn't get to play a game for them due to tragic circumstances is neither here nor there. They agreed a fee, they now need to pay it. If I was the owner of the selling club, no way would I agree to anything less than what was agreed. Edit - and if anything, I'd look to sue them for withholding funds owed to them!

That's got to be one of ours on a mission surely? Come on, own up, who was it? Top shit housing BTW!

Never seems more than a day passes without some form of stupidity emanating from our friends in blue. Still, it's good to have this thread so as we can all laugh at them together.

Cardiff Vile club Vile fans Vile manager Vile owners

Thats called, being in denial.

An awful fight mate until that bit of sublime work from Canelo. Waited for the chin to pop up and boom. Credit where it's due, a great achievement.

Yep, "Shithead" said to my son who was about 8 at the time by a couple of very brave knuckle draggers, when on holiday in Devon. Now he's grown up, I doubt very much they'd try it again! Assholes!

This - it was all over their website when the plane went missing "always a bluebird" and "one of our family"...... Until they realised there was a chance to wriggle out of paying. What a vile disgusting club they are.

If he wasn’t there player why all the upset at Cardiff when he died. He was on there website wearing/holding a shirt, They are doing all they can to not pay out, think it’s disgusting the way they are acting.

One of the problems seems to be determining exactly what ffp rules are trying to address. I still think the original and continuing reasoning was to prevent clubs sending beyond their means and jeopardising a clubs future, very much following on from Portsmouth's fall from the premier league and subsequent financial nightmare. As the riches on offer from the premier league get ever greater, the temptation for owners to push the financial boat out in the quest for promotion gets ever stronger and this makes the need for financial control even more important. Bolton is the latest example showing why clubs need some sort of external protection from themselves. While Bury have never been in the premier league, their owners stated desire to get to the championship was behind their financial problems in overstretching themselves. Many fans think ffp is there to create a more level playing field. While it doesn't do that, perhaps the issue of parachute payments needs to be addressed somehow because the imbalance parachute payments creates that you point out is, effectively, causing other clubs to spend more just trying to complete with those clubs that have the additional spending power that parachute payments give them. Despite parachute payments giving relegated clubs a marked advantage over the rest, that is still not enough for some clubs, as some ( Villa and West Brom are examples) are effectively spending the whole 3 years worth in 2 years, by borrowing against the third year's fund. I think it is pretty clear that had Villa failed to gain promotion they would have been up **** creek without paddle , and possibly not just as far as ffp is concerned. It is almost becoming the case that rather than giving relegated clubs a financial buffer to make the adjustment to the championship more manageable, it just becomes a war chest/fighting fund for a quick promotion, but with huge risk attached if that fails. Perhaps this is why parachute payments need to be looked at within ffp,
