Motherwell weigh up options in Cardiff dispute
Motherwell are considering issuing a winding-up order against Cardiff to recoup a £175,000 debt owed by Craig Bellamy's new club.
Cardiff failed to pay Motherwell £100,000 due in January for the transfer of right-back Paul Quinn and a further £75,000 summer payment has also not been forthcoming.
The Clydesdale Bank Premier League club issued a writ against Cardiff at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Friday but they have revealed in a statement that City did not attend or submit a defence.
Motherwell say they pursued the claim "firmly but courteously" but failed to receive a "business-like response".
Fir Park chief executive Leann Dempster said in a statement: "It is critical that clubs work constructively with each other to ensure we can manage a very difficult financial climate for the game.
"We have given Cardiff every chance to do the right thing."
