Perspective of Cardiff's manager. So far one couldnt argue with him.
"[Cardiff Manager David Jones] is sceptical of any club trying to buy their way out of the Championship.
“I haven’t seen anybody in this division go out and spend £5m or £6m on a Premiership striker or defender,” he said. “They just won’t come. Why would they? It just doesn’t happen.
“Clubs can’t afford to pay Premiership wages. It’s a misnomer that clubs have all this money at this level so are going to be successful.
“QPR have vast amounts of money, but I haven’t seen them go out and get top players who are supposedly available.
“The Premier League is the only place the top players want to be. And sometimes you can have money, but you can’t spend it.
“And it also comes with the burden that you can end up paying over the odds for Championship players – clubs know you’ve got money.
“There’s no magic formula – you’ve just got to find the players who will get you out of this division.” “.” Walesonline
