I expect if he gets another contract elsewhere it will be on a lot less money than he was on here. I expect he has not been offered a new contract with Cardiff City because of his age, injury record and lack of game time in the last few seasons. I very much doubt that he demanded ŁXk a week and the club said sorry we can't afford you.
Most clubs are in financial trouble, sure. Most due to not being financially prudent, that's not going to change - Villa 100k per week for Terry for example.

I listed several reasons of which salary demands would be one. Club make an assessment based on all of those factors. I doubt salary expectations would be the determinant factor, the other factors would imo have meant no deal would have been offered by the club.

If it got to the stage where the club wanted to keep him, I doubt very much we'd have offered a salary he would have wanted based upon Dalman's comments.
