WOL ****ing useless:
“Speaking during the club's pre-season tour last week, Barry-Murphy outlined his transfer priorities — and made it clear that any incoming signings must significantly raise the standard of the first XI. “Quantity over quality” was the message, a nod to a summer that might not be busy in volume, but must be impactful if Cardiff are to mount a serious promotion push.“

I guess there will always be players who's heads are turned when offers come in, and you can't blame them.
However, at the moment we seem to have more of a pipeline from the youth teams into the first team than at any point for a long long time -I wonder if that will make it easier to try to keep hold of some of our younger prospects in the future (assuming that pathway continues)
One of the objectives of the new Independent Football Regulator is "to protect and promote the financial resilience of English football as a whole, ensuring that systemic risks and structural issues like the distribution of revenue through the pyramid are managed appropriately", the poaching of young players by bigger clubs from smaller clubs is something he should look at. Clubs losing players they've developed should be properly compensated at the time, and maybe there should be a compulsory minimum % sell-on clause rule.
If Cardiff were to give the player a professional contract, does this mean that he can't be poached for a pittance, as at present?
