Yes you would think/hope that the City are playing straight down the middle as much as can be expected here and acting on strong legal advice. It’s not the situation for stubbornness and burying heads in the sand, the reputation of the club commands that everything is above board and accountable legally.
Was it part of a corporate business transaction, the flight I mean? From what we’ve read, whether it’s all straight up, is that it’s more or less someone giving somebody else a lift. I’ve read that our club wanted Sala on a scheduled flight, then the McKay lot stepped in with an offer of a free ‘lift’ which Sala accepted. Going to be loads of ‘grey’ areas for insurance companies to um & ah by the looks but I’d have thought if, say, you accepted a free lift of someone in a car and something happened, as long as they were insured you’d be covered up to a certain amount. As I say I reckon it’s going to be a long runner and will it be a case of the winners being the ones with the best/most expensive legal team? Wish I was watching from afar rather than the City being involved.
I’d be surprised if Nantes were “demanding” anything at this present moment in time.
Sensational headline. Good for a 2/3 page discussion on here though.
No one said it was free. It was said that Sala was told that he didn't have to pay for it, i.e. it was free for him. But someone must have paid for it at some point.
I'll be interested when the owners of the aircraft make their insurance claim for the loss of their aircraft, and the bag of worms that will reveal.
No one knows the full facts . It’s just guesswork and conjecture at the moment.
Personally I’d rather they kept it out of the public eye.
Yes and maybe cardiff lawyers are saying if we pay now then that could invalidate any later claim- such as thw transfer not being complete due to international clearance. I suppose that could give nantes the possibility of receiving the transfer money from us and then also being the ones to make the insurance claim.
I mean if he was still technically their player subject to international clearance then it's unlikely our insurers would be able to pay out would they?
I doubt any of us will ever get to know what happens anyway. How did this get into the media i wonder?
100%. I’m never going to put anyone on ignore as there’s normally so much good stuff on here - even from posters who I clash opinions with - but there’s been some stuff on here that I’ve not enjoyed reading about the whole tragic episode. I’ll just be glad when the family have closure - I realise people want to post about it but it just feels so insensitive to me.
