I have a very dark humour image in my head of someone in the club calling the insurance company as the news was breaking, while the insurance side have one eye on sky sports news

You couldn't make it up.

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.

Rumours that the airport transfer taxi driver is currently being pursued by vincent tan have been denied

You jest but football finance expert Kieran Maguire could hardly contain his laughter the other week when he said Cardiff are pursuing a 100million in lost earnings (Sala's goals would have kept us up) but are not sure who they are going to sue for it yet!!

Sala presumably

I doubt whether even Vinnie would dare to sue Sala's estate by claiming he was negligent in choosing to climb aboard a plane he didn't believe was safe.

That sounds entirely plausible. After all, wasn't the club's main defence against the FIFA ruling a claim that the transfer wasn't complete because City officials had made a mess of the player's contract?

You just know that Tan has had a breakthrough after reading this post

Yes along those lines, I'm more surprised that people are surprised that the broker rebuffed it and didn't just say, good point, who do we make the £ 10 million cheque payable to?

Literally nobody is surprised.

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.

"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.

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.

[Trigger]

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)

[Dorcus]

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