Ridsdale Paying Bellamy's Wages!

"Of course, their services have not come cheaply. City are reportedly paying Yakubu £40,000 a week, while Bellamy is said to be on £75,000 a week. However, while Leicester's Thai owners are picking up the bill for Yakubu, Cardiff are not paying for Bellamy.

Eyebrows were raised when such a high earner arrived at Cardiff, especially as the club has had considerable financial problems over the past couple of seasons.

But, according to reports, of his £75,000 per week, £54,000 is being paid by Manchester City, and the remaining £21,000 is being picked up by the Cardiff chairman Peter Ridsdale personally. It is a piece of business that emphasises the club's almost desperate ambition to become the first Welsh side to reach the Premier League."

Ridsdale was renound for spending money the club didnt have when he was at leeds, I wonder how much he pays the fish in his office to swim in thier tank all day!
Although its great that Ridsdale is personally backing the club financially I am still wiery of how far he will take his desperation!!

He's a good lad that Peter!

That must be a miss print, I though our CURRENT chairman was personally paying his wages ie. The Malaysians?

Ridsdale isn't that generous!

You're right, that's why I was laughing!
