Scunthorpe can't afford the wages I feel we could of helped out a bit .
We don't have Man City's money to throw away !

could we not use the cup final cash?
But surely us paying full wages for someone we don't have any intention of using, is worse than having another club contribute (even if only a small amount) towards it and Sparrow dropping his wage slightly (he's obviously desperate to get away and play again) isn't it?
Completely made up figures but if we're paying him £10k a week at the moment and he's willing to drop to £7k a week with Scunthorpe paying £2k of that - then surely the extra £5k a week saved by us is worth doing?
Or am I missing something?!

What it all boils down to is the fact that Sparrow has been rather harshly treated. He doesn't deserve to be rotting away in limbo.
What you are missing is that he could get injured in the loan in which case we are stuck with the full wages for the rest of the contract, unable to let him go permanently in January. The deal clearly wasn't worth it for us to take the risk.
Now if we didn't pay so large a percent, or it is closer to contract end, then the figures work better.
I expect him to be allowed to go to Scunthorpe in the next window.
