Re: Sala case

Embarrassing statement.

Pretending to care about justice for sala when just want the money back

I agree with you. Not getting into the rights and wrongs about wanting the money back (although personally I wish we'd have just taken a hit and moved on a long time ago) but pretending it's some noble crusade for football and even worse, for Sala is awful

Re: Sala case

Club statement just released:

On the eve of the hearing.... there is hope. The hearing marks another step towards uncovering the truth and establishing more accountability in football.

This case isn’t about harming football: it’s about protecting its integrity. This is about ensuring higher standards across our sport, especially surrounding transfers.

Because Emiliano Sala deserved better. Because football deserves better.

Despite what any critics might say, Cardiff City are fast becoming the moral guardians of professional football, which is great to see. It makes me feel proud.

Let’s forget that, before this tragedy occurred, club officials were perfectly content to deal with a banned agent to the point that they even employed two of his sons despite there being no evidence that they would ever be good enough to play at Championship level.

Let’s also ignore that, following Emiliano Sala’s tragic demise, the club spent years denying they had ever officially signed the player during repeated attempts to avoid paying his transfer fee. And let’s overlook the fact that the club accepted £12 million from a mysterious third party who are apparently gambling on making a profit from a court case involving the death of a young footballer.

None of that really matters. Make no mistake, this litigation has little to do with money. It’s simply an attempt by Cardiff City officials to protect the integrity of the game. The club’s statement says as much, so it must be true.

Re: Sala case

None of us have any idea what his family think about this case. It may be that they want to hear a judge say "this is who was responsible", in the absence of criminal proceedings against anyone.
(I'm not suggesting that that's why the club is bringing the action by the way.)
I hope a further contribution will be made to the family trust should the club be successful.

Sat there for an extra 3 minutes trying to come up with something better did you? How unbelievably cringeworthy :hehe:

Also I said I wished we had, I'm not saying I expected us to :thumbup:

Any 'Wokie' worth their salt wouldn't eat in McDonalds. He should have said that place Bluetit was moaning about the other day, the place where a Brekkie costs £43.

Re: Sala case

And the very substantial trust fund the club and owner set up for the Sala family soon after the tragedy occurred? Was that a sign of " couldn`t care less"? The same fund that FC Nantes refused to contribute to?

Any ideas at all if the club are going to win this case , as it appears a bit fanciful to me based on assumptions. Hasn’t the club already received £10m from insurance ?

the £43 was for a coffee, if you want a breakfast there you have to donate your first born

Re: Sala case

Genuine question - why can't it be both? I can't conceive of any scenario where an organisation wouldn't care about both, especially given the specific circumstances of Sala's death.

Because it doesn’t suit his anti tan narrative

True, although that was for technical aviation offences with just an 18 month sentence.

You said: "It may be that they (Sala's family) want to hear a judge say "this is who was responsible", in the absence of criminal proceedings against anyone."

Do you think that's going to happen in this case?

Re: Sala case

Have Salas family received anything at all? If Tan does win this and get £100 million or whatever, where does this money come from? Be nice if he chucked a few million to the family if they’ve had nothing.
