ramsbottom Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I know we’d should be all nice to Cardiff this off season as we all want them to let us have Ebou, but this is feckin disgusting behaviour. Their chairman is as bad as Courig and the dog finger up North… https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ckmj4gedjr5o Reggie Greenwood and Ilkestonian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Cardiff are not looking like the good guys in this. He'd completed the transfer, he was their player, they should pay what they owe. Crewton and Ramrob 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSD Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) Don't expect anything less from those classless owners at Cardiff. On a tangent, people dying and then families fighting over their estate / assets is disgusting. I was the executor of a friend's will and it's amazing how many people who couldn't give a toss about him all of a sudden come out of the woodwork. Family that never spoke to him demanding XYZ, threatening to take me to court over assets which were to be sold and money towards the charity he worked at, once he retired. Genuinely never felt so horrible and angry at human beings. Edited April 24 by SSD RadioactiveWaste and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They asked Gibson for advice - if Sala had been available, they would have picked up 3 extra points and avoided relegation. This is why the compensation is close to £100m more than the Sala transfer fee (£15m?). That part will be quickly dismissed, as the figure ignores the fact an extra season in the PL also results in additional costs and there's no way to prove what Cardiff would or wouldn't have spent. The tactic is to start high and settle for less. I expect around halfway between the full fee paid and the expected legal costs. So far, only the owner(?) of the flight providers has been prosecuted. Cardiff claim is due to the agent (who represented Nantes) was the person who organised the flight.i don't think Cardiff have filed against the correct party, but Nantes will probably give in (to an agreement) due to the potentially high legal fees.

Day Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I hope they walk away with nothing but a large legal expenses bill to pay. Telling me they've looked at the Premier League games and said, if Sala had played we would have scored there and won the game. This is even worse than the xG stat. Without looking, I'm guessing the Cardiff fans are embarrassed and ashamed by this, unbelievable stuff by another wrong's in the game.

McArthur Park Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 So they are basically blaming the death of a player for them getting relegated, and are now trying to make money from the situation? Am i reading it correctly? If I am, that is vile. Reggie Greenwood, RadioactiveWaste and Walkley Ram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkley Ram Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I hope the judge agrees with their valuation of £100m, and rules that they need to pay that transfer fee in full to Nantes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 The irony is almost beyond belief. According to the article, part of their claim is for reputational losses. You couldn’t make it up. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with a Cardiff fan and I shared similar opinions about this whole ordeal. He didn’t try and defend what they were doing as he thinks it’s crass but he did point to the fact (according to him) that they’d booked him a seat on a commercial flight the next day to come over but an agent used by his French team got this tragic flight arranged which ultimately led to his passing. They also went down by 2 points so the idea that with a £15m striker for half the season they’d have got more than 2 points isn’t cloud cuckoo land. It’s really crass and it makes me uncomfortable but if this same situation had happened with nobody losing their life I think there’s maybe be a bit more sympathy.
