All Clear, Bells is registered

After a crazy day on Wednesday with Craig Bellmay's arrival hearalding an immediate £400,000 injection into the club with 500 new season tickets, 3,000 shirts (selling out all stock) and thousands of extra ticket sales for the next couple of home games, the Football League chairman Greg Clarke puit his face on Sky tv demanding more information on how Cardiff were financing the deal and adding in many choice comments about how to handle business and finance.

Like Motherwell Chairman John Boyle, the man is an ultimate hyprocrite. As Leicester Chief Executive, he put that club into administration owes millions of debt which creditors only ever saw a fraction of. Cardiff, unike these people, have never gone into admin and always paid creditors.

The matter was swiftly resolved - the league seemed to be making up a new rule so it could hardly be srtopped - but has left Cardiff seething about how it was handled with the Chairman going to media without ever approaching the club. I understand the FAW, Football League and Cardiff City have held held powered private conversations about the Foootball League conduct in this matter.
