Cardiff City manager, Neil Harris has taken a swipe at Nottingham Forest over the Albert Adomah.
Adomah was loaned to Cardiff City by Nottingham Forest before the start of the season after he joined teh club from Aston Villa.
However, Adomah was recalled by his parent club on June 30 after the season resumed.
And after booking a place in the championship playoffs, Harris believes Forest went against a gentleman's agreement between the clubs to see the loan deals completed until the end of the regular season, despite what time constraints had been placed on the original contracts.
“Sabri Lamouchi [Forest manager] was manager of the year in the Championship four weeks ago and finished seventh,” he said.
“They stopped us taking Albert Adomah to take an advantage over us.”
He was keen not to stick the boot in too firmly, but he stands by his original feeling of anger and disappointment over the way Forest handled the saga in the first place.
"I don't think it's come back to bite them," Harris added in his post-match press conference. "I only brought it up because I thought it was right to mention it, on Forest as a whole.
"I saw most of you [the media] smirking when I said it, so I'll leave it to you to write about it.
"It upset me because I thought it was wrong, that's all."
But Adomah was unable to feature for his parent club: an EFL rule change voted for by clubs, stipulates players returning from loan at the end of June can only feature for their parent team in certain circumstances.
Forest missed out on the playoff spot after Swansea City 4:1 win over Reading on Wednesday night.
The Swans qualified with a goal difference of one.
