“ Mehmet Dalman and Mark Hudson feel “

Wed Dec 21, 2022 11:48 am

Mehmet Dalman says the Club are not in a position to pay Nantes FC for Emiliano Sala as it’s now risen to over £20million with court costs, so they will go down another route of suing as the club has not got the money.


The Transfer embargo will stay for January, but Dalman will try his best to lift the future two embargo’s.

But Dalman and Mark Hudson feel the squad is still good and full of quality and big enough for a play -off push and don’t need the extra signings in January.



Mehmet Dalman:

“I don’t really know Mark Hudson or much about him, but he has a good squad to work with.”


Mark Hudson:

“The current squad is good enough and big enough and has plenty of quality and will be like having two new signings in January with Isaak Davies returning and Ebou Adams.”

“We will continue to monitor Sean Morrison.”



Cardiff are taking a bit of a kicking on social media over the transfer embargo, but there are also some supporters who believe they are doing the right thing in fighting this highly complex matter and who are firmly backing them over their stance.

The Hierarchy feel that even without extra January signings, the squad is more than good enough to secure a comfortable mid-table finish or even play-offs.





Boss Mark Hudson can pick a first XI as follows:


Ryan Allsop; Mahlon Romeo, Perry Ng, Cedric Kipre, Calllum O'Dowda; Ryan Wintle, Joe Ralls; Callum Robinson, Rubin Colwill, Jadon Philogene, Kion Etete.

That would still leave back up from the likes of Sheji Ojo, Mark Harris, Romaine Sawyers, Isaak Davies, Andy Rhiomhota, Niels Nkounkou, Gavin Whyte, Curtis Nelson, Jack Simpson and Joel Bagan, among others

“I don’t really know Mark Hudson or much about him, but he has a good squad to work with.” Comedy gold.
No wonder our Managerial Appointment are such a disaster.No research.No idea.

It's laughable that MD and the rest of the cronies think that Sala was not our player, when we had him signing at the desk, the Ayaytollah and still insist he wasn't ours (no doubt, some will say it was just a photo shoot for the media, if that is the case then show the paperwork and prove it, which they cannot actually). It is embarrassing to all Cardiff City fans that these rich elite feckers think they can just brush this aside whilst spending more money on what is inevitably a lost cause.

If Hudson and MD think we have enough quality to do well then Hudson needs to give his head a wobble along with Whitehead and MD needs to turn up and watch a game and the shocking atmosphere. There may be quality there but Hudson isn't bringing it out. What is his game plan, we pass great but achieve feck all, no different to under SM.

Frustrating it is enjoyable, it isn't. Do they really think that those few clubs below us are that worse than us? We are the worst team I have seen this season without a doubt, home and away.

I don't think they are saying that anymore; the article above states the club (quote) "cannot afford..."

There is a huge difference in rhetoric/tone in there and it is disingenuous to suggest otherwise

However, the club's hierarchy have brought it on themselves and they need to deal with it before it has the detrimental effect we all now fear, i.e. on our position in the Championship

Personally, I don't think relegatiin will be this season but a contunued embargo woukd see us very worried beyond that

Both Organ Grinder and Monkey need to have asit down and sincerely discuss a way forward that not only solves the current issue but puts in place a positive plan for the future; even if that means selling up and cutting their losses (not that I believe there will be any)
