If Tan loses the Emiliano Sala case v Nantes (£15mill), over all it will cost our club between £18-£20mill.

Due to interest,court costs, legal costs City and paying Nantes legal costs.

I am hearing we have very little chance of winning the appeal ( I can only say what I am hearing).

Why dose this not surprise me?

Didn't MD say, a while ago, that whatever the outcome of the tribunal, the money was there to pay it in full??

I think we already provided for most of it in last years accounts so it shouldn't affect our overall debt position or the profit/loss of the club this year.

Whether we have the money to pay it is another thing entirely.

The club may lose this case but they are certainly right in chasing it and making sure there was nothing out of order leading up to the "accident".

Sala and his family deserve the truth and all the facts should be k own before this is concluded.

None of it seems straight forward and this will go on for years even if this case goes against us.

other agencies are dealing with truth, facts and blame...this is a sports claim that has cost the club millions...

Should have paid up from the start. The chances of winning this case were always slim and it’s made the club look terribly bad.

I’m sure he did Rick.

It could now be nearly as much as another £5mill if Tan loses the case again, remember this is an appeal .
