Someone has too, strange how quiet it's gone on all fronts .
:angry:
Surely we would have paid up if we didn’t have docs stating otherwise, I guess he wasn’t ours after all.....:shrug:
And we were never going to let him go!Quote:

Although insurance policies are normally take out to 'overlap' existing ones so that there are no gaps, I just wonder if City took out cover on Sala to commence at midnight on the night before he started training the next day ? ...
Surely Contract Law in any jurisdiction would trump any FIFA decision.Quote:

I suspect the issue is Cardiff not wanting the agents to receive any money from the transfer given their negligence.
However that would mean restructuring the transfer and gaining agreement from FIFA.
Or are we using technicalities to avoid paying the fee at all?
