The only thing he really contributed for us, was his funny mate from Peru, who used to jump up and down in front of us at away games and do ****er signs at the opposition bench. He barely played for us, six starts and I'm not sure he ever played a full game.
As Ed said, he earned it (though I doubt this is true anyway). I thought he'd be past it but did a good job for us the year we reached the play-offs.
He was obviously past his best but did a decent job as a squad player in our fairly traumatic post-relegation season. Very popular bloke and very well liked by all.

I can't open the link, but presume it's the horse fixing thing? If so, I'm sure I read that Chopra denied the charge but couldn't afford to pay for legal representation to defend him, particularly as he could not recover his costs even if he won. He'd therefore resigned himself to being convicted.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/horse-racing/21195955 no money to fight it? ipswich gave half a million.. lame excuse...
How the hell do you get declared backrupt considering the wages Chopra has been on at Cardiff, Sunderland and Ipswich? He can't be very bright can he?
I note nile ranger has just been arrested for rape...for a change...and brendan rodgers son is on trial at the old bailey..
I thought that was for gambling debts? As the others have been convicted well I guess he knew he'd be convicted even if he had representation? I think he's just really really **** at gambling
He should have come to me .... I may have required a small service from him sometime in the future ...
Are there enough reallys in there? He ran up over £250k in gambling debts, whilst he was involved in fixing the races. It's like that Only Fools episode where Del has the double headed coin, Rodney calls for him and inevitably goes for tails. Don't think making the loan is that risky a thing for the club to do though, they pay his wages, they'd presumably be deducting it from them before he even got his hands on it.
No different to wages = Chopra would pay tax on it as a 'benefit in kind' if the interest rate was not 'commercial; ....
What ever the arrangement personally, they're due to pay him £10k a week, he's due to repay them £5k a week (for illustration). If he stops making his payments to them he's in breach of the contract he's formed on the loan so they're entitled to retain anything of his they have, so they'd just retain the repayment from his wages the next week as that would be his money they were in possession of. It's meant to be me that turns questions into accounting matters not you.
You brought up the benefit in kind issue for non-commercial rate loans, that's clearly tax accounting.
