And so it goes on ( Sala )

[goats]

I think it’s in no doubt that Sala was our player when the plane crashed

What is in question is possible illegal 3rd party involvement, banned agents, unlicensed pilots etc

Just highlights the murky world of international transfers

So if he was legally ours don’t we get insurance to cover it? I would have thought that’s standard procedure

[MacAdder]

Cardiff City FC have conducted themselves properly since the tragic accident and the fact that Emiliano's family have had to suffer the long wait for justice is no fault of CCFC.

If people have done wrong then the process of bringing them to justice should be allowed to take its course.

This WOL piece from almost 2 years ago covers most of the contentious issues (and there are loads of other pieces from the football insurance press and general media online). What it doesn't deal with is Emiliano Sala's personal insurance position (very relevant to his immediate family now) which I have seen discussed elsewhere. If he was a properly transferred and registered EPL player with Cardiff he was fully covered. If not the insurers would dispute liability. My understanding (maybe wrong) is that they are disputing liability and his family have not received anything from that source - but where the fault for that lies is at the heart of the CIS case.
