We were too good for the Championship last season ... but such is life.
I'm sure the likes of Alan Smith, Kevin Nolan, Fabricio Coloccini, Peter Lovenkrands, Joey Barton and Jonas Gutierrez could have done without the "Championship Experience", so whay makes Bellars any different?
City were hardly likely to hand him to another Premiership club, were they?
Doncaster chairman John Ryan: "Craig Bellamy's loan move to Cardiff will distort the integrity of the Championship. It is an incredibly competitive division.
"Handing a striker of Bellamy's quality to Cardiff - and paying most of his wages - undermines the sanctity of the competition.
"Manchester City shouldn't have done that. I feel let down by that, as do many other Championship chairmen.
"In no way do I blame Cardiff. I'd have been delighted to sign Craig at the Keepmoat, so it's not sour grapes.
"But if everyone goes to Cardiff and gets slammed 4-0 like us - and remember on-loan Bellamy scored one and set up two on Saturday - the result will be an unfair competition because Manchester City are bankrolling Cardiff's success.
"The loan system should be about sending out youngsters to become better footballers. That's what we do. Last year we took Jay Emmanuel-Thomas from Arsenal and Jordan Mutch from Birmingham.
"There's no doubting that Bellamy will make Cardiff a better side, but no club in the Championship would be able to afford such a talent without the goodwill of the Premier League team.
"I say 'goodwill', but it's more about control. The control the Premier League elite have over the rest of football."
OUR MESSAGE TO THE DONNY CHAIRMAN :
There's only one place to be ... and that's the Premiership! And if you are not good enough to get there ... tough shit ... that is your problem!
