Dalman and Choo are so incompetent it is beyond belief. Embarrassing.

Re: Rebuffed

Ooh, a club statement
"There has been selective reporting today of the defence filed against the claim the Club has brought against its insurance brokers for doing their job negligently.
The Club did not try to insure Emiliano after the plane crash.

All Cardiff City Football Club staff understood from its broker that all players were insured from the moment they were signed, and the case arises from learning they were not.

It will reply to the allegations made in the defence that are untrue, or portrayed out of context, in the court proceedings and will not litigate this case in the media."

The time for trying to claim the moral high ground regarding Emiliano Sala passed years ago.

From a Layman's point of view, and considering the factual information at hand, and the fact that Sala ended up in a Tomato can of a plane, piloted by a bloke without the relevant qualifications in a deal brokered by a bent money grabbing twat, who our manager at the time seemed to be in bed with, employing his sons etc, and zero insurance for a 15 million quid asset, sounds to me like negligence personified, a term of events that could only be re created by Del Boy and Rodders. It is absolutely shameful and embarrassing in every respect. Shame on CCFC.

At the end of the day someone should write a book about this!.....Bob?

From the club's statement:

"All Cardiff City Football Club staff understood from its broker that all players were insured from the moment they were signed, and the case arises from learning they were not."

So, a club that has spent four years (and God knows how much money) denying that the player concerned had signed for them is now claiming the staff believed he was insured simply because he had signed for them.

Wonderful work.

Re: Rebuffed

Maybe I’m being dense, but this is not normal practice for the insurance industry is it? I know dml says it is, but he’s wrong this time isn’t he?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-64333540

I'd say it's normal practice for an insurer to not pay out if you haven't taken out appropriate insurance. Had we taken out the insurance I'm sure the insurer would have had plenty of grounds to not pay out.

Tan needs to give up the fight. He hired incompetent people and needs to deal with their incompetence.

I'm looking forward to DML's response now we've had the press reporting on court documents.

Re: Rebuffed

Genuinely embarrassed to be a supporter of this club. How the hell did Tan ever make any money with this kind of sense of business.

Woeful, isn't it. It's like a Carry On film, Sid James as Neil Warnock, Leslie Samuel Philips as Dalman, Charles Hawtrey as Choo and Bernard Breslaw as Vinny Tan. Carry On Cardiff!

The Carry On actors wouldn't touch this script.

Too silly even for them.
