GREG CUNNINGHAM CAN PLAY FOR PRESTON v CARDIFF CITY
Originally City loaned him out to Preston paying half his wages, then agreed to pay off part of his contract and Preston signed him on a permanent.
So Preston had Cunningham on a free, with City paying off half his wages.
Preston snapped up Greg Cunningham on loan from Cardiff in January, bringing the Irishman back to Deepdale until the end of the season.
Under those terms, Cunningham wouldn’t have been able to play this weekend, with EFL prohibiting loan players from facing their parent clubs.
However, Preston turned the move permanent two weeks ago, essentially taking over his contract given that his Cardiff deal would be expiring this summer.
Cunningham was on approx £18,000 a week at Cardiff for the last few years, hardly played any games.
