Nope cannot blame his at all.

I loved my time out there and would still be there but for circumstances.

Ian, I dont blame Kenwyne one bit Good Luck to him :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Ive been told by numerous people, Kenwyne was offered £13,000 a week for next season, if its true,then I honestly don't believe others would not have done the same as Kenwyne.

What an arrogant c**t .. let us down throughout his time here by being a lazy money obsessed donkey.

Good luck to him over there, one last big payday before it all goes sour . doesn't seem to settle at any club.

Was that picture taken whilst he was on the pitch? Looks a familiar 'laid back' pose! ;) :laughing6: :laughing6:

Can't blame him tbh, but goes to show his main motivation and I feel he didn't 'do it' for us at £35k pw! :(

Got to disagree with you mate he was playing quite well until the club informed him they're not renewing his contract.say for instance you had a good paying job and your company told you they were gonna make you redundant but they give you a months notice would you work to your full potential?and might I add would you work as well with people shouting racist horrible abuse at you?

Why are we bothered? Who cares?
I even saw the Echo / WOl describe Jones as 'a fans' favourite' earlier this week. Clearly they do not realise that occasionally chanting his name does not give him cult status. The polls of fans recently have shown that a great majority were happy to see him leave, and are glad to see the back of him. Fans' favourite??? I know the papers can often write their own version of history and change public opinion but this is a stretch too far. Please give it up with the 'we loved Kenwyne and must follow him everywhere' stories - WE DON'T CARE!

cant blame the club.When Jones was told they wouldnt bow down to his demands he behaved like a petulant child. Clearly sulking on the pitch,not trying and refusing to celebrate after scoring showed disrespect to the fans and his teammates. Good riddance

I wrote that with a certain jest, but I fully agree with your 'racist abuse' comment and will never condone that :(

What I would say though, is that KJ was contracted on £35k a week until the day he left and had not (to my knowledge) taken a pay drop in recent weeks/months ;)

I like the big centre forward in the Championship but I feel KJ had a lot more to offer than what we saw in recent times

I also believe he had an obligation to live up to his substantial contract and sadly (IMHO) he didn't perform for some time prior to his departure and he is better off the payroll, if it mans we can get someone more 'motivated' on the pitch :thumbup:

I get where your coming from but did the club actually offer him a lower paid contract?And the biggest question for me is who do we bring in as a replacement as we already had a proven goal scorer on the books.

The writing was on the wall at the Birmingham game. He made no effort to get on the end of some decent enough crosses, and then went straight down the tunnel. Don't think he even shook hands with the opposition players.

Pity, really. He scored two decent goals against Brentford, and basically won us the game. Even then, the signs were there. No hint of any celebration.

I liked Kenwyne, but his demands were too much for us. Best of luck to him, though. At least he was honest about the money.

He has been paid very well by Cardiff for very mediocre performances during his time here , fans are not stupid and don't take kindly to a player with a can't be arsed attitude during games , however he performs he still picks up a good wage and this has been a theme at most clubs he has played for , the odd good moments in games is simply not good enough to justify keeping a basically a one dimension player ...... glad he has gone

Looks about as useful as he does when he's on the pitch 35k 50k a week the world has gone mad

if it weren't for Kenwyne where would we have been the first season back in the championship? And what happened when we loaned him out at the end? Hardly scored a goal if I remember right.the clubs fucked him about since he's been here so he's obviously not going to bust a gut for us when our club and fans show absolute no respect to the guy after all he's done for us

Its a good move for him, & I wish him well, but lets not cloud our memories of the stark realities, with found sentiments & claptrap,,,his contract was up at the end of this season & he was going to "walk" anyway. There is no way on gods earth that he was worth his weekly wages in a very average Championship team, & £13.000 a week sounds about right to me in any case.

I'm sure that all parties involved are happy with this move, least of all for economic reasons!
