Mark Hudson now finally admits it looks like a NO

THE TRANSFER EMBARGO IS GOING TO HURT US:



Mark Hudson admits the transfer embargo under which Cardiff City have been placed could decide whether they are able to recall Mark McGuinness from his loan at Sheffield Wednesday and looks like being a no.

The Bluebirds want to bring the defender back to Cardiff and have tried to set the wheels in motion for his return this month.

Cardiff hoped McGuinness' final game for the Owls would be the FA Cup third round clash with Newcastle United on Saturday night, a game the Yorkshire club won and the centre-back earned rave reviews. Indeed, ex-Arsenal and England centre-back Martin Keown waxed lyrical about the 22-year-old's display against the high-flying Magpies while on commentary duty.


However, the club have learned in recent days that the transfer embargo, which has been placed on them both by FIFA and the English Football League, will play its part in the McGuinness decision.

Bluebirds boss Hudson said the coming days are crucial with regards to the player's immediate future.


"I think with what's going on at the moment (the embargo), we will see what unfolds over the next couple of days," Hudson said when asked about McGuinness.

"I watched him play [against Newcastle] and thought he was outstanding. I messaged him after to say well done. But we will have to pick that up in the next few days, because it's the weekend.
udson replied: "It'll be down to the embargo. So we will have to wait and see what we can do with that."

McGuinness has been one of the standout players for Sheffield Wednesday this season, winning the club's player of the month award for both November and December.

It is no surprise to hear that Owls boss Darren Moore is keen to keep hold of the defender for the final few months of the season amid a promotion push.

“We’ve sent back the agreement papers and made it clear we’d like him to stay, but we have got to wait for that answer to come back from Cardiff in terms of what they want to do with him,” he said after the FA Cup clash on Saturday night.

“We know he’s their player but I thought he was magnificent again tonight and all season he’s helped give us a platform. I hope he comes back for the second half and continues the job he has started here. If not, we thank him and thank Cardiff.”

On when he expected to hear a definitive answer, the Wednesday manager added: “If not by now, by Monday or Tuesday we’ll know. Latest. We want to know because if he’s going to stay we want him to play on Saturday.”

So now we can't even recall our own player from a loan deal - there is no limit on the incompetence from this Cardiff City board.

In any other industry Choo would have been up the road at a rate of knots - Dalman would also been hounded out.

This Sala business has turned Cardiff City into a complete joke, in the football world. Frankly, we are guilty of bringing professional football into complete disrepute.

I bet McGuiness is breathing a sigh of relief - who would want to be heading back to our basket case of a club, managed by a rabbit in the headlights?

How is Choo still in a job??

We’ve had some useless Chairman over the years and Dalman is right up there with the worst of them

How much a year is the club paying these two?? A £million isn’t it??

Defies belief how badly our club is run!!

Choo approx £500,000-£600,000
But works full time in London for a car business, selling cars.

I put his interview on here, that’s his priority Lindon and yet he is Cardiff’s CEO , you could not make it up.

This has to be total bollocks.

If an embargo is to stop the club from bringing in more players while we owe for previous players, how can FIFA or the EFL also stop us from making the most of the squad we already have?

Makes no sense. Its like saying you cannot have more players PLUS we are going to take players off your as well.

What happened to maintaining the integrity of the competition.

All sorted on Wednesday after we pay the Sala fee, according to the gossip, so dim problem...?

How come Eli King has come back from Crewe then?
Doesn't make sense to me at all

Only guessing but kings loan term has ended while we want to end McGuiness loan early. Might be the difference
