OFFICIAL - Gary Madine gone.

Is this Parkinson admitting he has no plan B?

More likely to be getting his excuses in early.

Ken won't be paying off Parky and then paying out for a new manager, he's here to spend the bare minimum and sell the club on for a profit

Well he's got a damn site better chance of selling a championship club than a league 1 club, and that's where we are headed with Parkinson.

Ken needs to drop the price he's asking to sell the club, the division the club is in is less important than the price he's asking.
The Asians who bought Barnsley had a look at Bolton but decided that Barnsley's lower price and better football team was a better deal than what Ken was offering.

A tweet to Iles (from someone called Craig Need)

- Hey Marc BBC website (Cardiff match report) says madge was bought for £5m? Is this when the real price slowly creeps down?
£8m my bumbum.

Iles reply - It's £6million overall. How much up front is unclear - although I'm told £4.5m.



If correct are people still happy with the deal?

Never believed we would get £6m up front. Given Friday's result I guess £4.5m up front is OK - if it really is £4.5m.

It's not the fact we sold him that annoys me, it's the fact we didn't manage to get in a replacement. However that said, I do believe they are looking at what is currently  available and are trying to address the issue. As long as the money we got is put to good use I'm happy about the deal overall. I trust Ken to use the money wisely, be that paying off some debts or maybe reinvesting some of it into the first team or u23's.

12 months ago we'd have been delighted with anything for him never mind this absolute windfall for a player who was horrific for us during at least two thirds of his time at the club.

Lets hope its not swallowed up by undisclosed debt.

Not even as long as 12 months ago.

I don't recall many big Madine supporters pre October when our form was LDDLLLLLLLL and we'd scored something like four goals in two months.

It's just a shame how many players find that rare bit of form here and immediately piss off. Chung Yong Lee springs to mind as another example.

Personally I think Friday showed that a number of things have improved since early on in the season, not just Madine.

Cunty madine acting the billy big bollocks. I’ll bet anyone £50 he doesn’t score more than 5 more goals this season

Give it 18 months and when Cardiff realise they've bought a carthorse he'll be lent out to Yeovil or Wycombe Wanderers or such like. He's made a big mistake thinking he can play in a team with premiership hopes. Can you imagine him playing against Prem central defenders?

Subbed against Millwall tonight. Commentary said he was 'wayward and ineffective'! What a surprise.

I'll give it another 4 weeks and he'll be a regular unused sub.

He was always fucking shit. Just had this weird psychological hold over some of our more mentally weak supporters. Strange really, but at least people are starting to come out the other side now.

Fuck Madine, shithouse.
