Great news, although I think City can feel hard done by in many ways.
Well done VT.

Totally agree and I don't see Nantes or those agents being held to account at all for their actions - it seems to be all aimed at CCFC

That’s great news. What will some opposing fans constantly bring up now?

Re: We are paying Nantes in full

Let's hope the BBC pick this up as they were quick enough to report we had been ordered to pay the remaining amount

Cardiff City today paid the 2nd and 3rd instalments of the transfer fee for Emiliano Sala, as recently ordered to do by FIFA.

This is despite there not yet being a judicial decision about FC Nantes’ liability for the crash. We continue to work towards those responsible being held accountable.

We look forward to the trial before the French court next year.

I don't think this will change the clubs approach to pursuing the matter through the courts though. Maybe they've seen what effect an embargo is having and want to avoid any further difficulties on that front?

Must have been galling for Tan to pay it but glad to see he has. Be interesting to see if any of it is recovered from Nantes or the insurance broker.

Must be galling for someone else he’s paid it as well, and that guy doesn’t live as far away as Vinnie.

Is this a bad thing?
We have been portrayed as the bad guys in this sad saga.

Didn’t we offer a British Airways flight that was turned down and McKay took responsibility for the travel arrangements asking Henderson to fly him?

I know we cocked up on the insurance and having Mckay’s sons muddy the waters but did we do anything wrong apart from working with scummy agents?

Didn't Tan issue 1.74 Billion shares recently mid June I think @ 1p each which might equate to £17.5m iish , then in the same period City's transfer ban was been reduced from three windows to two ?????????????????

Claiming he wasn't our player for years wasn't a particularly good look.

Agreed.
