Cardiff City: Transfer ban appeal for missed Emiliano Sala payments has been delayed

Cardiff City's transfer ban appeal for failing to pay the first instalment of striker Emiliano Sala's £15m transfer fee to Nantes, has been delayed.
The appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) was originally due to be heard during this spring.
But CAS confirmed the appeal procedure has been "amended" and a new date for the hearing has not yet been fixed.
They also say the "exchange of written submissions" between the two clubs is still taking place.
Argentine Sala, who was 28, died in a plane crash in January 2019 while travelling from France to join his new club.
French club Nantes and Cardiff have since been in dispute over fee payments.
Emiliano Sala: Cardiff's appeal over £5.3m Nantes payment set for spring
Cardiff claimed they were not liable for any of the £15m fee because Sala was not officially their player when he died and refused to make interim payments as they claimed the deal was not legally binding.
In September, football's governing body FIFA ruled Cardiff should pay the first instalment of £5.3m (6m euros) to Nantes.
FIFA's players' status committee also imposed a three-window transfer ban on the Championship club if they failed to pay.
After FIFA found against them, Cardiff immediately appealed over the punishment to CAS, which is based in Lausanne, Switzerland.
In December a CAS statement confirmed "a hearing is likely to be fixed in Spring 2020" with a final award "not expected before June 2020".
But now CAS has confirmed a delay in proceedings, telling BBC Wales Sport: "The procedural timetable for this arbitration has been amended.
"The exchange of written submissions between the parties is still in progress and a hearing date has not yet been fixed."
The case is not included in the list of hearings published on the court's website. CAS say the date will be on that site "once it is known".
The plane carrying Sala and pilot David Ibbotson, 59, crashed in the English Channel on January 21, 2019, two days after the player's transfer was announced.
The footballer's body was recovered from the wreckage, but Ibbotson, from Crowle, North Lincolnshire, has still not been found.
Sala was exposed to high levels of carbon monoxide prior to the crash, a report later revealed.

Cardiff’s transfer ban appeal delayed as they insist they aren’t liable for any of the £15m Emiliano Sala fee

The sad death of Emiliano Sala and his pilot still resonated today, but it’s a shame to see that Cardiff are still insisting on dragging things through the courts over money.
The Argentine striker’s plane came down as he was on his way to Cardiff to sign for the team, and it was galling to see how quickly Cardiff became concerned about having to pay the transfer fee.
The BBC have reported on the latest with the legal case, as Cardiff insist that they don’t owe any of the £15m fee that was agreed.
They state that FIFA ruled they should’ve paid the first installment last year, and Cardiff were hit with a transfer ban for three windows as a result of their refusal to pay.
The case is now with the Court of Arbitration for Sport, however the report confirms that the case has had to be delayed and it’s not clear when a new date will be set.
The biggest shame here is that we should be talking about how much Sala was loved by the Nantes fans and his family, yet it’s now been reduced to clubs arguing about money.
It was a chance to show some dignity and class and quietly find a way through it, but it’s being dragged through the courts instead.

I don't think we are appealing the transfer ban as such...more a case of its being imposed put on hold while the dispute over ES signature is resolved...
but even under transfer embargo you are still allowed to sign players on a one in one out basis provided the incoming players wages are no more than 75% of the one leaving.
