Re: Rebuffed

Yes along those lines, I'm more surprised that people are surprised that the broker rebuffed it ....

Literally nobody is surprised.

Law360, London (January 18, 2023, 2:16 PM GMT) -- Insurance broker Miller Insurance Services LLP has denied it owes Cardiff City FC more than £10 million ($12.3 million) following the death of Emiliano Sala, claiming the club asked for him to be added to its players' insurance package only after his flight disappeared.

For those unable to read article.

Presumably it's pretty easy to prove when we asked for him to be added to the insurance package. one way or another

It's just the start of it, plenty of more lawsuits to follow this will go on and on for years maybe decades if Tan has decades left.

You couldn't make it up.

Asking for him to be added after the plane disappeared.

"claiming" - important word.

We shall see.

As said above it is pretty black and white with call recording and documentation. They'll have a trail of when.

Re: Rebuffed

I thought the claim was more to do with a duty of care as the clubs insurers. Something like they should have given the club advise as this is how all players have been insured ie at a certain stage and that if this was a possibility they should have advised them to insure players at an earlier stage? Or something like that?

All sounds a bit desperate.

Depends how they operate.

Id assume they would have taken some advice on this one but maybe you’re right and it’s a desperate one.

Re: Rebuffed

It's probably a desperate last throw of the dice.

But my understanding also was the club were taking legal action for the broker not doing its advisory job very well. (Apparently)

I don’t know, not pretending to know either.
I think the whole thing has seemed a bit desperate tho.

Well he wasn’t insured so I’m not sure why they’d claim that (if it wasn’t true)

Did anyone honestly believe Sala had been properly insured? ....no, I didn't think so!

Re: Rebuffed

Another thread full of speculation and innuendo on the Sala situation, from a group of people who know absolutely nothing about what went (or is) going on. It is nothing short of a bloody disgrace that this continually happens. Players are usually automatically added to a clubs insurance when they sign. That is the crux of the case, pure and simple. Insurance companies are always going to try to get out of paying up, whatever the case. They try to get out of paying when you have a TV nicked for goodness sake, so it shouldn't take someone with much intelligence to work out what they would do to get out of paying £10m for the death of a player who was in mid air when all the paperwork was being completed. Obviously a bit too much intelligence for some on here though.

Mehmet, if you don't tell the fans anything then speculation will happen.

What specifically points you to the conclusion that "Players are usually automatically added to a clubs insurance when they sign" without the club lifting a finger? I would have thought that there would be various levels of paperwork to get signed off.

If that's the case, then the club would be claiming he was insured. They aren't.
