You say "the club", who's fault was it that tax bills wasn't paid...

Dave Jones?, the players?, the stadium?, the fans? or the Chairman/owners?

Say Pearson put the club in a financial mess and didn't pay the tax bills at Derby, fecked off and the Americans came in, would you say we should be relegated and we're cheats even tho Pearson had gone?

True be we don't know the full facts, only heard Motherwell's side so far. I just think Cardiff is a club, the fans are what makes the club and who are you punishing by saying they should be relegated and labeling them as cheats? not the people who are responsible, they are long gone.

Imagine Derby were in Cardiff's situation, would you think we are cheats and deserve to be relegated for past owners poor management?

They have paid the tax bill now http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jun/11/caridff-city-hmrc-tax and just like when GSE came to Derby more financial skeltons will come out the closet as the weeks go by.

Just watched it myself but he couldn't answer some of the questions asked, fair enough they are owed money and it needs paying, he's saying the Bellamy signing wasn't the final straw for him to come out and threaten them, yet he kept saying if they can sign a "raft of players" so it obviously was the final straw.

One question he couldn't answer was how much have Cardiff paid for these players, they have only signed loan players and no fees and wages may have been paid by Cardiff.

Apparently Cardiff also contacted him before he went on and offered to pay some in October and some in November but they want the sum up front, so the new owners have actually made an effort to pay it.

This will make you laugh if you've just watched the John Boyle interview on SSN.

-------------------------------------------------------

Zoom Airlines Inc. was founded in May 2002 as a low-fare transatlantic airline. The carrier, based in Canada's capital city, Ottawa, was conceived by two Scottish brothers, John and Hugh Boyle, to fill an opportunity in the Canadian leisure travel market.

The two brothers entered the holiday business in the 1980 with their startup company Falcon Holidays in their native Scotland, which was later sold for a large profit to a major United Kingdom tour operator.

On 28 August 2008, a Boeing 757 aircraft was held at Glasgow International Airport because of the airline's financial difficulties. It was reported that the aircraft was impounded after the airline failed to pay its air traffic control charges. Shortly afterwards, the airline announced that it had filed for administration under the Canadian Companies Creditors Arrangement Act and that it was ceasing operations. The company's sister airline filed for bankruptcy under the British legal system in August 2008. Zoom Airlines is reported to have blamed the "horrendous" price of aviation fuel and the wider economic slowdown.

And yes it's the same John Boyle that was just moaning he hadn't been paid :D
