Bellamy on a free?

I see that Man city owners have said that they need to trim their wage bill by £1m a week so less £90K for Craig, and they only have to trim the bill by another £910,000 easy peasy, you know it makes sense :lol:

Why would Bellamy accept them cancelling his contract, he is still owed a years (?) salary.

Now they could pay him off and give him the equivalent of half his weeks wages and they then Save 45k a week.

They start to trim their wage bill and Bellamy gets to walk into the City already on 45k a week, we top it up by 15k and he's on a healthy 60k

Well for them to release him they would have to pay up his contract or at least agree a settlement that Bellers would find acceptable. Its clear that Mancini has no interest in using him so I wouldnt be surprised on them offering a settlement which would be close to his full wage and for Bellers to then sign for us and that wage to make up the rest. Suits everyone really

That would be alright for one season, but would we be able to afford to pay that type of money the following seasons.

Whoever he signs for after next season won't pay him near the money he is on at man city anyway. Then he has a decision to make on what's more important.
