They could be paying as little as 10% if that's the deal struck.Quote:

I can't see Cardiff paying £90k a week for Bellamy.
fuming at cardiff. i hate that "football club". debt management operation and tax avoidance machine more like.

Anyway, may as well shut this thread down now, no players will want to leave them cheating bastards now they have him playing for them. Tap should have paid up when they had the chance. Pathetic display from Forest for seemingly sitting on the fene for the past 2 months.
Time for the word 'Ambition' to be raised again.
i sometimes feel that our club is very happy in the championship and has no aims to go any higher.
feeling a bit flat now that a debt ridden club like Cardiff is able to do more in the summer maket than ourselves...
Come on TAP,,please prove me wrong.
Maybe they've done this knowing they've got the money coming from Forest to pay for it?
Whatever they pay its money they haven't got. They still owe on transfers from years ago but the authorities lack the balls to stamp on them (Cardiff not their balls).Quote:

If it attracts an extra 1,000 walk up supporters for each home game, then they are set to recoup a decent amount of the wages they will be paying him.Quote:

Stressful times ahead me thinks.
Come of it, if we had the chance or where smart enough to get a Premiership class player for little outlay we would jump at the chance. No one was suggesting it was a disgrace that we had Shorey on loan last year.Quote:

I have no problem with Cardiff loaning in Bellamy, but I do have a problem with Citeh paying for him.Quote:

We're destined to have McCleary for ever!
The uproar isn't because a rival club have signed a quality player, it's the fact they are highly in debt, on the verge of going bust and are still allowed to sign a player like this.Quote:

ssn now backtracking abit. Maybe its not such a done deal yet
i dunno. apparently jay bothroyd has posted it all over his twitter account.
I'm surprised Bellamy didn't join Everton, they are not too far away and it would be a good move for all parties...
Absolutely agree.Quote:

You do have to admit though - The way they have done it and got away with it to the extent they may well get a player like Bellamy on the books is really quite brilliant. Staggering yes, cheating yes, but also quite brilliant.
He's better than Tyson!Quote:
