At least we are not £24million in debt.......

[jakeella]

just like our leek munching in breds from West Great Britain ( as reported by today's Daily Mail on Cardiff ), i know everyone is moaning about Dick Knight and his running of the club but he seems to have control of spending, and not over stretching us.

No. it's just that Berkshire, Ernest, Trigger and FG go on about it so much that it appears that way.

I don't think you'll find many are actually complaining about him

 

[FG aka Football Genius.]

Good move on your part to explain what FG stands for - Football Genius wouldn't have been my first guess.

Cardiff hit cash crisis
By Duncan Castles, Daily Mail
22 January 2004

Cardiff City have slipped into financial trouble and may be forced to sell off prime playing assets Robert Earnshaw and Danny Gabbidon.

According to a source within the First Division club, Cardiff are £24million in debt. They are also understood to have been told to stop spending by their bankers, leading at least one director to question the cash management of owner Sam Hammam and chief executive David Temme.

Cash is so tight that bankers are believed to be blocking a £150,000 bid for York City midfielder Lee Bullock. Last month Cardiff failed to find the funds to turn Julian Gray's loan into a permanent move from Crystal Palace.

Wales stars Earnshaw and Gabbidon have been monitored by Premiership clubs this season, and Fulham boss Chris Coleman is a known admirer of Earnshaw.

Hammam has insisted that neither player will be sold.

great news, hope they go bust. Then they can start all over again at the bottom of the welsh non league.

"we're bigger than Barcelona" - Hammam.

Cardiff City...

Cardiff chief executive David Temme has dismissed rumours the club are in financial trouble.

Temme insists talk was wrong the club has been told to stop spending by its bank with debts of £24million and will have to sell Danny Gabbidon and Robert Earnshaw.

"None of our leading players will be leaving," Temme told icwales.

"How on earth could we sell out a new stadium if we sell players like Gabbidon and Earnshaw?

"We have sound finances and a solid business plan and our borrowing is where we expected it to be at this stage of our development.

"At this moment in time, we know exactly where we are and exactly where we are going."

Oops

A Wimbledon type move after Hamman has sold out to some Scandinavians maybe?

Yep, hopefully within months, Cardiff will be relocated to some crap footballing "hotbed" ((c) Pete Winkelman) like Bracknell or Guildford.
