Why are we continuing to drag this on? It’s embarrassing and crass. He was our player. What am I missing?

The £120 Million Tan wants from Nantes

from the club's point of view he was our player that the other club chucked onto an illegal death trap flight and subsequently have faced no consequences

Does the responsibility on that not come down to Sala? If he turns down our flight and chooses to arrange one of his own accord with McKay, what difference does it make that he was acting on behalf of Nantes on this particular deal?

I’m struggling to see our case and think it epitomises the sad state of football that we are still pursuing this

It may not be morally attractive but legally it would appear Cardiff City .....as in the business ......not us the fans ......have a very good case

If tan and the club win that 120 million then that would reduce the debt and make the sale of the club more attractive

It's said a lot of our fanbase want a new owner ......well this is part of the process it could be argued ?

I am not taking sides , I am saying if this happens it could be a progress forward

He won't get all of that, but a tenth could make a difference in the transfer market and give him a slightly increased chance of a Premier League team to sell, either way he thinks it's worth the gamble and it's hs money, so up to him.

What is the case?

Sala arranged his own transport via Mckay after turning down our offer of a commercial flight. I don’t see how Nantes can be held responsible for that even if McKay was the agent working on the deal. The deal had been completed

They’ve clearly been told they have a case after getting compensation insurance last year…..

McKay was banned and he’s been linked I think…..

Perhaps it was Sala’s choice, not to spends hours at an airport, to sit next to the great unwashed on a flight. Then spend further time getting off the plane, queue for the passport check, collect own luggage and then face an hour transfer from Bristol to Cardiff. do both us and Nantes sue him and his insurance?
Considering the money he was about to earn he took the convenient option (most would) - probably wouldn’t have come out of his pocket anyway.

If you blame Sala for making that choice then, is it fair that Cardiff have to payout still and is it fair that Nantes have to write off their asset?
The whole thing as a mess and there are no winners here and above all else a couple of young men have lost their lives - as if the families weren’t heartbroken enough they still have this to deal with.

Re: Sala case

We are all guessing here and my two pence worth is Tan went after McKay and proved that he was acting for Nantes in some capacity. This being done and the fact that the flight was illegal in the sense that the pilot was not qualified gives Tan a very credible case in my view.A result in Tan's favour would enable him to sell the club at a realistic price as well as leaving us in a much healthier position financially.I think that Sludge is on the money.

Re: Sala case

If the French court thinks it's an entirely spurious case they'll kick it out. If they don't do that then they clearly think there's an argument worth hearing. Let's see what happens.

I wonder if the outcome would have different consequences if the case was undertaken in the British judiciary system rather than in France?

Could well do. Don't know whether it's to Tan's advantage or not.

I think I read somewhere that it is completely forbidden in French criminal law (not just civil) for a football team to work with unlicensed agents. Some arrests have already been made

If the French courts are gunning for Nantes and we can draw a line between Nantes > McKay > Sala, then it does smell like we have a case, especially in France for Nantes falling foul of using unlicensed agents.
