Wez, as promised here are the four clauses of the contract.
Anyway:-
*****
2. In accordance with its clause 2.1., the transfer agreement’s validity was “conditional upon” the fulfilment of the following requirements:
“2.1.1. the player completing successfully medical examination with Cardiff City FC; (Complete)
2.1.2. FC Nantes and the Player agreeing all the terms of a mutual termination of FC
Nantes contract of employment with the Player; (Complete)
2.1.3. the mutual termination of FC Nantes contract of employment with the Player is
registered by the LFP [i.e. the French Ligue de Football Professionnel]; (Complete)
2.1.4. the LFP and the FAW [i.e. the Football Association of Wales] have confirmed to Cardiff City FC and FC Nantes that the Player has been registered as a Cardiff City FC player and that the Player’s International Transfer Certificate has been released.”(Complete)
****
This is also the summary which explains that Premier League registration was not part of the deal:-
41. In this respect, the members of the Bureau firstly observed that the clause at stake did not require the player’s employment contract to be registered with the Premier League as a condition precedent. What it is more, the Bureau held that it was clear that it was always the intention of Cardiff to register the player with the Premier League and that the only reason why the contract was not approved was an omission of Cardiff itself.
