Revealed: £5m cost of Cardiff loan star state... Cash deal: Craig Bellamy
Cardiff City are all fur coat and no knickers. They look expensive, they look the part, but it is all front.
Last week I joined the voices questioning why Manchester City's lavish funding of the Craig Bellamy deal is allowed.
Since then, I've gleaned precise figures on Cardiff 's hugely subsidised wage bill and the telephone numbers should alarm every Championship manager, chairman and supporter.
Cardiff's star man, Craig Bellamy, receives £85,000 a week. Yet Cardiff pay just £21,000 of this, with £64,000 being transferred to the Welsh club from City. Another of Cardiff's loan players, Seyi Olofinjana, is paid £27,000 per week, but only £11,000 of that is from the Welsh club's coffers.
The £16,000 shortfall in the Nigerian international's wage comes from Hull City. Jason Koumas receives £29,000 per week. Cardiff pay just £10,000, the remaining £19,000 is wired from Dave Whelan's Wigan Athletic. And Cardiff have just added Wolves striker Andy Keogh to their array of loan sharks. The player earns £22,000 a week and yet Cardiff pay £10,000 of this. Wolverhampton Wanderers cough up the other £12,000.
This means that Cardiff's bid for promotion to the Premier League is being subsidised by other clubs to the tune of somewhere in the region of £5 million.
This is more than the entire wage bill for a club like Scunthorpe, who are supposedly competing in the same division.
No wonder Doncaster Rovers chairman John Ryan says he feels 'let down' and complains that 'the integrity of the competition is undermined'. Cardiff are doing what they are allowed to do; they are ruthlessly exploiting the loan system.
But the Football League cannot sit idly by and pretend this is in any way fair. If the Welsh club make it to the Premier League, it will be a sleight of hand comparable to West Ham's infamous escape from relegation with a goal from Carlos Tevez, a player they infamously didn't own.
At Cardiff, half the team is owned by other clubs. If they go up, there

Not really our problem is it ?
Its how football works these days. At the end of the day there is method in the madness for clubs like city that have loaned them players whilst paying some of the wages. If Cardiff are promoted they will received a huge amount of money over a number of years. They will need better players and will have the money to potentially sign players like Bellamy and the others on a permanent basis and pay their wages. So the is potential for us and the other clubs to get some money back at the end of the day.
There is no questioning Bellamys ability its his attitude that is the problem and always has been at every club hes ever played for - 8 in total.
We should never have signed him in the first place, certainly not for £12 million at his age with his injury problems and his track record for causing trouble.

I disagree,fantastic player who is exciting to watch and put bums on seats.For the majority of last season,he was a pleasure on the field,skill and passion in equal quantity,for that reason i'm happy we signed him.A real shame it's ended like this.alera said:
On a plus side,i'm sure we have not just given him away,hopefully,this deal will have been sanctioned with certain criteria,such as,first refusal on emerging talent,could be a masterstroke in the long term.
