Did Cardiff actually ever pay up on this, I know it was not all paid instantly. http://www.fansfc.com/frontpage/frontpagenews.asp?newsid=156412
pass, it was around the time of administration, and was still outstanding... or, did they get out in a loophole or summat saying that company don't exist anymore.. just that it went quiet, and no one has ever confirmed wether we got it all or not.
RE: pass, it was around the time of administration, and was still outstanding... BFC got paid the money by the PFA who used the fee as security for the loan. Basically BFC needed the money before Cardiff were obliged to pay it so BFC could pay player wages. Allegedly like.
Bit misty now, but... I seem to reacll Doyle telling us that the FL owed us more money that we owed anyone, and part of this was the Barker money?
RE: all a bit confusing Doyle did say the football league was holding back money we got from Cardiff for Chris Barker. We never did find out if we got it in the end. I would however like the idea of Chris Barker coming back to us instead of going to Colchester.
RE: nah. disagree Hecky isn't having the best start to the season. Robbie Williams isn't anywhere near as good as Chris Barker. Austin deserves a start at left back on saturday. I wouldn't mind Sam Parkin either.
not that I am sticking up for hecky... their are other factors... like, devaney not knowing how to do the defensive side of his duties.... therefore leaving hecky a bit more exposed than he should be... when mcindoe is in front of him, it looks a stonrger unit down that side... Sam Parkin, I agree on that one though
