More bad news to add to the pile, Cardiff City striker Michael Chopra has spoken out about the situation at Cardiff City and has intimated his willingness to seek a transfer it the mass is not sort out.

This is the first sign of frustration from within the squad and show there could be a dark mood in the team. Cardiff City have yet to pay off the transfer fee owed to Sunderland for the striker, the deal he signed with the City last season should have seen his contract renegotiate after scoring 20 goals.

With Chopra talking of wanting a move is could mean Ipswich and other interested parties look again in his direction. Ipswich showed the most interest with reports they were will to go up to £3million to take him to Portman Road. Cardiff.

Chopra saidin todays Echo “I’m well hacked off.

“If this club doesn’t bring in new players, I’m off.

“I’ve had enough. Nothing is moving, with just a couple of weeks until the new season.

“I can see that we will struggle this season if people at board level don’t get real and sort this matter (the financial struggles) out sooner rather than later.

“It’s not good for morale and I’m not the only one fuming about the lack of movement in the camp.

“TG told me that the club would invest, and that we would have new faces to strengthen the team for a charge at the Premiership.

“But I don’t see any investment, I don’t see any new faces at the club to make this team a force next season.

“In fact, if this carries on, I can see us struggling. I am really angry about the whole business.

“I was under the impression that the new board were coming in and spending money to take this club to the next level.

“But I don’t see that in any shape or form and its very frustrating for me and the players who want to do well for this club next season.

“I’m happy playing for Cardiff, but I’ll be off if this continues.

“I’m ambitious and I want this club to meet those ambitions.

“If they can’t, what’s the point?

“I’m not happy seeing embargo headlines in the papers and no movement in the transfer market.

“All the players were looking forward to a big push for promotion, possibly the two automatic places.

“If nobody comes into this squad quickly then we could find ourselves struggling come the middle part of the season when we have to draw on a small squad.

“It’s a ridiculous situation to be in.”

I don’t think there is a Cardiff fan that don’t agree with Chopra and has someone who supported ex-chairman Peter Ridsdale the fault must be laid at his door. The other problem is the lack of football people at the top of the club.

The Malaysians are out of their depth, they were not football fans when they invested in the club and I have a feel they had no real idea of running the club. Expect for Steve Borley the rest of the board are stack-up with rugby fans who have little interest in Cardiff City but hanging in to get their money back.

Cardiff chief executive Gethin Jenkins is also out of rugby having held the same post at Newport Gwent Dargons but there is no comparisons between the to codes. God I can't believe this but even allow I hate him to high heavens, Sam Hammam, if he has money and wants on board, I would welcome him.
