Personal sponsorship clinches the deal. He’ll get more money from endorsements than salary.

Closing endorsements at Real were around $10m per year. That’s got to influence any decision, how much can be carried over & the US of A is the land of sports endorsements.

He strung us along, he should have told us early on that his main interest was finacial and that we couldn't compete.

You were spot on in fairness, The World Cup is not his priority, that really surprised and disappointed me.

He strung us along….

The press (mostly local), the gossips and those who pretended to be in the know strung you along. In fairness to the man himself, Gareth Bale never even mentioned Cardiff City.

I don't recall him putting the record straight anywhere. He let us dream . I don't have to be forgiving because he is a Welsh legend.
