Wed Jan 23, 2019 7:31 pm

Cardiff City Football Club set to lose 15 million Euros.

Transfer of Sala was rushed through in attempt for him play Saturday this not possible but Mr Choo could not obtain clear funds from Mr Tan.

Mr Choo use funds from Cardiff City holding account of monies to push transfer through whilst await funds from club owner.

Meantime Mr Choo and team not insure Sala.

Legal wrangle in place as if player travel under own accordance PFA insure but PFA argue as not receive first salary it under debate if registered PFA player.

This why player agent make no statement on advice from Mr Choo.

Mr Choo as of today not inform Mr Tan of insurance complication.

Cardiff City use Mr Mackay from Monaco to act on their behalf not player representative. Chairman agree transport of player arranged Mr Mackay.

Very Sad Situation

Bit of a strange first post. How do you know this and why do you feel the need to expose it in this sensitive time?

Fans in both Nantes and Cardiff held vigils for the player on Tuesday night but one question that faces both clubs, is who will pay the transfer fee, which represents a substantial amount of money for both clubs.

"The transfer contract is valid as soon as it is registered with FIFA," Alexandra Cohen Jonathan, a lawyer and partner at the Paris firm August Debouzy, told AFP.

"If this is the case, in principle Cardiff must pay the 17 million to Nantes even though the player has disappeared."

According to a source close to FC Nantes, the deal had been finalised.

"The contract was signed Saturday at 5pm and approved Monday," said the source.

Broadly, big clubs take out two types of insurance to cover players.

There is liability cover, against bodily injuries suffered by players which is attributable to the employer.

Then there is 'key man' insurance, originally designed to protect businesses from the sudden loss of important members of the company, which football clubs use to cover themselves in case they lose valuable squad members. It is based on transfer values.

"Nantes had certainly signed a contract of this type, but does this contract still apply when a transfer has already been signed?" asked Cohen Jonathan. "Have Cardiff already taken out this insurance? Had it already come into effect?"

As for the liability insurance, that would only come into play "if one of the two clubs was the organiser of air transport," said Cohen Jonathan, adding that this does not seem to be the case.

yes it is mate.
but the line...if this is the case...suggests its been put to him as opposed to him having direct knowledge.
truth is no one knows apart from those that need too, and they are probably dignified enough to not be talking money in the press at such a time.


will add the media in general have been p155 poor not just since the accident but throughout the transfer process ,lies, half truths, rumours, and very little fact checking.

Have you literally come to this forum to place the blame at our door. Two blokes have probably died and you've come here trying to make us feel worse and "to blame" please f**k off, unlike you we are fine with taking a hit if it comes down to it because we are busy dealing with the loss of someone's life, why would we offer him a commercial flight if the agent was ours. I understand you're probably grieving too but there's better ways to do it tbh
