Our board.

Why not just wait until all our dealings are done before making judgement calls on the board? give it time (im talking this window) and lets all evaluate the board after the window closes.

by the way im not sticking up for the board as i have been really disappointed with them the last 4 years, this club should not be playing second fiddle to an almost bankrupt team.

 

couldn't have put it better myself ,the board is a feckin joke

 

confimed.

 

He was on 90k a week at Man City. The VERY MOST we would/could offer is 40k a week. Would you be willing to take a drop of 2.5 million a year??????

 

Bellamy says the reason he won't take a wage cut is because his charity would take the hit.

Craig Bellamy
The three teenagers from Sierra Leone who have moved into Craig Bellamy’s house this week were thrilled at getting the chance to develop their football skills in the UK.

And to make sure they get every possible opportunity to better themselves, Bellamy is fully prepared to spend a year kicking his heels on the City sidelines.

The Welsh striker says he has pumped hundreds of thousands of pounds of his own money into the Craig Bellamy Foundation since setting it up in 2008.

He has made it plain that he wants to continue doing that, and it is the chief reason that he will not leave the Blues unless they pay up the final year of his £90,000-a-week contract in full.

Through the charity, Bellamy has set out to transform the lives of youngsters in Sierra Leone, a west African nation ravaged by poverty in the aftermath of an 11-year civil war.

Those commitments have already seen him set up the country’s first football academy and a network of junior leagues supported by Unicef, which run alongside education programmes and community projects.

This week, Bellamy took in a trio of youngsters from Sierra Leone who are getting a chance to develop their skills over here.

Mustapha Bundu, a 14-year-old centre-forward, midfielder Santigie Koroma, 15, and central defender Sulaiman Samura, 14, have just taken part in their first training session with Cardiff City’s Under-15 side.

They are staying at Bellamy’s family home, just outside Cardiff, while they spend six weeks training with the Bluebirds.

The trio are among a group of young footballers given five-year scholarships by Bellamy’s residential academy in Tombo, an hour-and-a-half from Sierra Leone’s capital, Freetown. They are the first to get the chance to develop their skills abroad.
