So, does Cardiffs insurance pay Nantes…then sue the agent. Or do the club pay Nantes…. and sue the agent ?
I’ve been to few Nantes games since this happened, and thankfully the Nantais do not hold Cardiff City responsible for any of this, but lay the blame at feet of their owner (who they despise for “selling Emi like a dog”), and insurance companies withholding payments until someone is held responsible for his death. The agent was found guilty of causing his death a few days ago, and therefore should pay for his actions.
If I was Tan I’d do everything within the law to get out of paying - most (business) people would if they have the funds.
Especially when you consider that there were all sorts of irregularities with the flight that Sala was on.
So someone is liable for Sala’s death and therefore any transfer fee due - and that won’t be Cardiff City by the sounds of it, unless they organised the flight directly of course.
Bang goes us signing a decent striker 🤮
If Sala was insured properly I'm pretty sure it would have been the Insurance Company pursuing the matter in the courts and not Cardiff City. If everything had been set up correctly then the Insurance Co. would have paid out according to the terms and then it's their business to pursue damage claims in the courts with the aim of defraying expenses. Was everything set up correctly on our part?
Well theyve done that - that's been the route taken - they've spent money and incurred now further penalty in having done so, tarnished opinions of the club across the world, and there we go outcome is there for all to see now today. It's the title of the thread.
The only people liable to have paid by now any transfer due is the purchasing club. It should have been paid, and then seperately damages sought for others malfeasance - which is what is now going on to play out anyway.
I am of the opinion there are many, many businesses and clubs who would have paid the transfer fees and dealt with these issues later and there are certainly good negotiators out there that could have sorted this out between the two clubs with understanding and empathy. I am absolutely sure there wouldn't be many on here defending another club for doing what we've done.
Would you ever feel comfortable with dealing with this Cardiff City regarding this kind of asset while the current board/owner is here?
Consequently, the CAS ordered Cardiff City to pay the transfer costs to FC Nantes and ordered Cardiff to pay a historically high sum, in respect of procedural costs and arbitration costs.
For those saying we shouldn't have settled.
I hope this horrible mess ends soon. As far as I am concerned we should have paid Nantes straight away and then looked at some other legal routes to go down. The whole thing stinks.
Too many simplistic viewpoints on this thread.
