Sala inquest concludes

Re: Sala inquest concludes

Apologies for a rather crude analogy but:

Say you purchased something online from PC world, who in turn used Hermes to deliver it to you. If the parcel never turned up you might need to talk to PC world, you might need to talk to hemes but you certainly wouldn't pay for it yourself. Now this case has proven McKay organised the flights on behalf of Nates because they didn't like the commercial flights Cardiff were offering it presumably should have an impact on who pays the costs.

I cant help feeling that this may eventually be paid via insurance, now liability has clearly been proven.

Except Sala did “turn up” and may or may not have signed a legitimate contract.

The insurance company would have certainly wanted the club to exhaust all avenues before paying up. Whether he was insured who knows, except the club.

In which way did he turn up and have signed a legitimate contract?

Digging deeper into contracts, I can guess that players' contracts are billions of pages long with clauses of about anything, just in case they crop up. If it had been proven that Sala was contractually a City player at the time, and there's nothing in his contract about seeking alternative transport, how can we claim on that?

In the way where he was at the CCS and signing contracts before he went back to France. The club even released photos of him at the signing.

I'm guessing by this that you think we should be paying the full transfer fee.

Isn't that what CAS is investigating and that this is an appeal as the previous legal case said we were responsible?

Do you know for certain that Sala was signing his contract in those photos? I'm never convinced that players are in these situations and it's just something staged for publicity, with his actual contract being signed somewhere else at another time.

"Like phoning a taxi for a friend" - is that how he operates? If you're arranging transport for a £15m player, would you just bung them in an unknown taxi?

But, if we're talking about legal judgements, any football club which announces the signing of a new player on their website and then bases their defence on trying to claim that he wasn't actually signed at the time are going to have a tough time proving, to the Court's satisfaction, that what they're now saying is true.

How disgustingly sickly was that read, words like overjoyed, happy to help, my thoughts will always be with him, how I wish I could bring him back........ the man is an utter disgrace. You’d like to think that experienced people who’d have been in charge of the inquest would see right through this piece of shit. What a dreadful, dreadful character.

Does the contract have to be verified by the football authorities though? In this case the Premier League, does it invalidate it if discrepancies are found. I don’t know but there may be a bit more involved for it to be set in stone as opposed to signing a run of the mill contract, even they have a cooling off period. Perhaps the time between the club signing and the Premier League approval is a sort of cooling off period.
