Just as the season kicked off McCormack was close to a swap move to Ipswich with Jon Stead coming the other way. That went stale and in the last couple of days Ross has been linked with a move to Hull.
Now it appears the club are willing to let Ross move to another club who want to take him on loan.
McCormack's agent Willie McKay explains.
"It is amazing how fortunes can change so quickly in football as just 12 months ago Cardiff rejected offers of over £3million for Ross and now they are willing to let him leave on loan," McKay told skysports.com.
"Ross had a great first season for Cardiff, but last season was blighted by injuries and the fact that he was played out wide rather than as a central striker.
"Ross is now fully fit and raring to go and Dave Jones has been great as he has allowed us to speak to interested clubs and that is what we are doing now.
"Unfortunately Ross has been messed about by a few interested teams, but Ross just wants to go out and play football whether it is a permanent deal or a loan move.
"Ross is a proven goalscorer for club and country and whoever ends up getting him will be getting a great signing as he will help them challenge for honours."
Ross has scored two goals so far this season. Both against Burton in the Carling Cup. He has come off the bench to take part in all three of City's games so far.
