Sala Case

Emiliano Sala case @CardiffCityFC are fighting has been delayed again! Was due to be heard/finalised in the French courts on Monday, but Nantes have asked for an adjournment, claiming they're 'not ready'. Cardiff surprised by this very late action. New date set for December

Easily done, edited it for you.

Yet another delay then. I will say it's not a good look for Nantes that they've caused a delay at this late hour.

Thanks Ned

Amazing how they can’t be ready after all this time…..

Certainly suggests they’re ‘not being prepared’ is an interesting situation in City’s favour, Ned!

They've had plenty of time probably trying to delay to go into administration.

As long as their insurance company dont go into administration, there's no problem!

Cant see an insurance company paying out for this

People saying they've had to revise there defence after being found to be misleading the courts in respect to there relationship with Willie mckay, sounds like they know there fucked and are scrambling around trying to salvage a sinking ship

I think that's a potential route they could look at going down but will tan go for the throat

Its already been proven they lied about there involvement with mckay plus another 2 dodgy agents so maybe they will try and settle but tan could stick two fingers up and say I'm taking it all the way

It definitely looks like cardiff are in the driving seat at the moment

It still amazes me that he was put on that crappy little plane by Mackay.

Amazes me even more that anyone let him get on it

It’s a negligence claim against them Wez. It’s the insurers who’ll be paying if we’re successful.

Nobody was there to stop him getting on it, just him & the pilot who was getting paid to fly not to stop anyone from flying.

Exactly. The fact there was no one there to stop it is negligent

It's just a dreadful situation.

When you see those WhatsApp messages he sent it breaks your heart.

In a way, it's not great that two football clubs are still arguing over money but I suppose that's how business works.

Or... rather left field thought here.

Will they offer to roll ownership of Nantes to Tan??

If there is any, let's say, "inappropriate Ness" on the part of either Nantes or those associated to the defence there is a general market agreement that insurers pay out the claim - to the innocent party - and then seek recompense from their policy holder.

I understand this also applies to France

Only do that if Nantes want to get relegated

They might have a choice tbh if there sued for 100 million and cardiff get the judgement .

Totally get what you are saying here an d yes, it is a sad part of the world of football, but I think for us as a club and for Vincent Tan personally this about as much as clearing the name of the club as it is about money.

We were absolutely vilified across the football world, made out to be monsters for not paying for a player who died in a tragic accident.

Nantes 100% played up to this to help hide the fact that they used an unlicensed agent, who arranged an illegal flight, with an unqualified pilot on an uncertified plane instead of advising the player to take the business class flight we had arranged. At every stage we've been mocked at best and positioned as a heartless scummy club refusing to pay our fair way.

A lot of our own, especially on this board used this as an opportunity to further attack the owner and the club, not seeing that at every legal step, more was being revealed through court disclosure, and slowly the truth of the matter has been brought to light, with clear, documented evidence.

For all his many stubborn faults (and I am no Tan lover) Tan is a product of his upbringing as a Chinese Malay, and in his culture the concept of face is everything. I highly doubt that he will take a quiet, behind closed doors settlement, without a full apology and full acknowledgement that Cardiff City acted correctly in the whole saga from Nantes.

For once, on this in particular I totally agree with him (even a broken clock can be right twice a day) and we deserve to have a spotlight on this having had the club dragged through the mud by so many, for so long because of the illegal and unethical actions of those employed by Nantes.

Great post

Im assuming if the judgment goes the way of Cardiff a significant amount of money will be sent to Argentina and give the Sala family some comfort and closure.

From what I've read I believe tan already made a significant donation to the sala fund something fc nantes refused to do

Great post as usual from Ealing. If I can add to that, remember that the Nantes owners are also in separate litigation with other parties for both use of illegal agents and money laundering. Claiming damages is one thing and clearing our name at the same time is another but important, Nantes and it's employees are the bad guys here.

I have been consistent in my criticism of Tan and I stand by it all. We presented Sala as our player.

But there is a clear issue with Nantes. Particularly their issues with corruption.

So I really don't know what to believe at this point.

It's got very messy and my thoughts are with the Sala family.
