Ahh...the mighty double edged sword of the Director's loan!

Cardiff fans already have the indignity of this fella turning their traditions upside down. Wait while the novelty wears off after he realises he can't break into the big boys circle and throws a wobbly.

I predict he will want his loans out of the club when he moves on to the next theme park experience, cue plummeting Bluebirds in red.

Blackburn look like they are in a pickle, despite being parachutists;

Just goes to show that gambling is a fool's game, for bigger clubs than DRFC. Maybe the Venky's can afford to write off the debt, we will see.

The smart money is on Forest being next to financially hiccup at FFP.

Oh goody goody. I do hope the Forest really are next. One of the few clubs I actually don't like. And that's been made significantly worse by appointing that sweaty, fat, obnoxious Scotsman as manager. Horrible man.
