Cardiff's chairman blames lack of VAR for relegation

The club's chairman, Mehmet Dalman, said Cardiff's 1-2 loss to Chelsea was a "turning point" in their fight to stay up.

Dalman posed Cardiff could have "possibly retained" their Premier League status if VAR had been implemented at the time, questioning why the Championship has not followed suit.

Cardiff have included the potential cost of the late striker Emiliano Sala in their accounts but await CAS' verdict on their appeal against the payment.

Player investments meant the club made a pre-tax profit of just £2.5 million, despite a massive increase in turnover.
