Sala's family don't have that kind of money. Whoever is found at fault (pilot, McKay) in the end will not have that money.
Mansfield is a brilliant QC, his record proves it, he will get justice for the family and in the end thats all that should matter, regardless of the cost and to who

Of course you are correct on both those points. However, it doesn't make our club wrong for raising the issue.
I think it was the Wales On Line article that alluded to the fact that Nantes had not rushed to get all of this done and dusted because they wanted to ensure that they had a replacement lined up (City had similar safeguards in place apparently). Therefore if, as a result of that, the deal wasn't finalised surely it's not right that we have to pay the full fee just because Nantes were hedging their bets ?
It is a bit distasteful that this is happening but if we are in the right then I'm all for the club being careful in throwing £15m around. You have been critical of this regime wasting money in the past so surely you can't be criticising them now for wanting to be sure of the governance surrounding this record deal ?
If it is decided that we are liable then we should pay, and with interest, but if we're not then why should we ? The club have already stated they would look after the family whatever the outcome which seems to have been glossed over.
Just one thing on the costs of this legal action. I would suggest that if we are successful and proved to be correct that there is every likelihood that out costs will have to be paid by the other parties as part of a civil action so that part of it shouldn't get in the way of us seeking the truth.

Cardiff are going to look like a really shambles and shameless club here. Really embarrassing. No club or decent player will want to do business with us going forward. Awful. Who advises our club
More made up clap trap, this guy is a Finance Director with HSBC, never been on the board at CCFC
Bullshit Simon was on the board with Rick Wright.
So the only bullshitter is you
Actually Simon posts on here
Just have a look at who the Directors were on them days and perhaps an apology might be accepted or will you do your usual thing and disappear from the forum.
Put his profile up then, prove it and I will appologise-simples

Sorry to say it but the club deserves to be dragged through the mud and vilified.
This is an opinion of my own and only judges will now decide whether I am wrong. Even then the damage will be done and the taste in my mouth will not go away.
All for the sake of money that was not then used elsewhere.
The club will not come out of this well.

In respect to saying sala was flying over to train with the time b4 the Newcastle game I think u will find he was not ,and he was returning back after the Newcastle game on the Monday ready to train on the Tuesday I might be wrong on that.

we are not going to ever be seen as being in the right here no matter what judgement or technicality manages to get whoevers job it was to secure insurance off the hook.

as for the 15 million anyone that thinks we will not now lose far more than that in the long run is living in the clouds.
keep reading how business works and how this is how all businesses operate reality is you can never get your good name or reputation back.
don't see many clubs , especially foreign clubs wanting to sell us players without money up front, or sending players here for pre signing medicals without putting all sorts of obstacles in the way at minimum that's if they want to deal with us at all..

Well if its Nantes or City or the agents are found culpible then they will be sued for damages, however, as its a high profile case, I'm sure that the publicity alone would provide an ample source of future revenue in the shape of winning future clients.

I agree that we may well tarnish our reputation with agents and that may cause us some difficulties in the future.
However, if we are found to be correct and not liable for the £15m then surely that makes our position correct, whatever the impact in the future ?
There aren't many successful business men in any walk of life that would fork out £15m if they weren't liable for it just to keep everyone happy
I find it amazing that people can immediately have a go at the current regime for undertaking due diligence and safeguarding the assets of the club.
As I said before; if we are found liable then we should pay, however, at the moment there seems to be, at least, some query as to whether we are liable.
I understand that many have a deep rooted distain for the current owner but that shouldn't come into this particular issue. None of us know the exact details or legalities but common sense would seem to suggest that there is at least some doubt over it and with £15m at stake that needs to be decided before any money changes hands.

Thanks for the clearing that up, I obviously had a different Simon Williams, who is a finance Director for HSBC, who was involved in structuring the financial deal that brought Tan on board, but was not a Cardiff Director, so you have my apologies Why I initially questioned your validity, was because of the crass assesment that you made on the situation "Cardiff are going to look like a really shambles and shameless club here.
