Looks like City got rid of him at the right time! Thought it might have been an infected ar$e from the splinters on the West Ham bench but turns out it's a cruciate ligament. Nasty injury but glad he isn't on BCFC's wage bill http://www.football365.com/cardiff-city/8398291/Malky-Mackay-confirms-Cardiff-striker-Nicky-Maynard-s-season-is-over
Which means that he will have to attempt to break into a Premiership club's first team whilst returning from a major injury and a whole season out. I sense another early season move from a newly promoted club. You have to feel sorry for Nicky, an often inspired talent but short on luck I wonder..... (?)
Sad for Maynard, but I dare say picking up whatever wage he's on per week and not actually having to do any work for it has it's benefits.
Sad to hear as I wanted to give him some banter when we travel up to Cardiff next month. Get better soon Nicky
