Callum O'Dowda signs for Ferencváros

That’s it, we’ve had our chips.

Can we describe this article as....

A tartare onsource?

probably gambled on going up first time

I could never really see him long term as a full back but as a winger he didn’t often beat the full back going forward, a good solid performer who always gave 100% ,I confess I don’t know a lot about our young defenders but I want to get behind them as, like it or not,it seems that starting out, they will be the ones wearing the shirts.

The wage bill has already gone down by about £10m with the nine out of contract players leaving.

And our income will have gone down by something like 7-8m by my calculations

The new rules are in place for this season. Birmingham picked a good time to get relegated, we’ve been relegated at the worst time.

But apparently relegation will be good for the club?

In terms of how long they have been at the club, Joel Bagan is the most senior.

Off to Ferencvaros

Left backs left: Bagan & Giles?

Twitter will be full of many other predictions like this by the end of the day.

What about Josh Wilson-Esbrand? We've heard of him.

Genuinely disappointed he’s going.

I expected him to have a positive impact this season, in this league.

That's a shame. Our squad of "Championship" players is rapidly being depleted.

If O’Dowda leaves, the only players left at the club this season where we have to include their salaries for financial fair play (due to when they signed their current contracts) are:

Callum Robinson
Kion Etete
Sekou Kaba
Yousef Salech

I think the salaries of recent signings Mathew Apter and Charlie O’Brien will also now be included as, although both are currently under 21, they’ve not been part of the youth set up at Cardiff for 3+ years.

I think we’re OK this season regards financial rules.

Callum O'Dowda has completed a permanent transfer to Hungarian side Ferencváros TC for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.

We’d like to thank Callum for his efforts over the past three seasons and wish him the best of luck for the future.

It is 60% of a modified turnover figure, e.g. net transfer (or loan) spends are added to (or subtracted from) turnover and capital injections can be added (subject to modification above £0.5m).

All the best, O'Dowda, one of the best committed players last season :thumbup:

Sounds hopeful
😂

Signed by Robbie Keane.

This is nothing personal about COD, more a personal observation of mine.

I have said it before on here, I believe our steady decline began when we started picking up Bristol City’s best players.

It seems the new measure of how far we have come in such a small amount of time, is when our fans are saying how sad to it would be to see him go.

Again, nothing against COD, as he seemed to give his best. Good luck to him.

If that really is the case, Bob, the handling of the club under Tan is even more dysfunctional than we could have ever envisaged.

This is what happens, you lose some players that you actually want to keep, replace them with seasoned league 1 vets or youth players, in a couple of seasons if we haven't gone up we are just an average league 1 team.

I wanted to keep players like him and Robinson on as on their day they actually can play at a higher level. O'Dowda maybe one of the more expendable for me though, i'll never be convinced he's a left back, needed to be played as a wing back to at least have the space to move forward into without being too concerned defensively.

At league 1 level he would have coped fine and as such it's a shame to see him move on.
