Obviously we are not splashing the cash, but what does it say about a pro that he would prefer to play in the Championship rather than put himself in the shop window and have a season in the Premiership?
It says nothing about the player, he is constrained by the Prem Rule that denies a 24 hour recall clause on a season loan. His club drives the deal.
The Championship is going to be one hard league to get out of this year....unless you do it the Cardiff way and get relegated
