And scrambling about with claims feels really tawdry. Completely lacking in respectfulness and class. Maybe City wouldn't have got relegated had he survived the journey and played for them. Who knows. But it was a very murky set-up with flights in the grey market, for want of a better phrase. The podcast on BBC sounds app is very good. All very sad. And Willie Mackay seems like a wee weasel. Haven't read any article so wasn't sure if the claim was more of a libel nature, but with the sum of money mentioned, loss of earnings through relegation seems very likely. Either way, is that really the most important thing here? I wonder what his family think of this, and how they feel about their dear relatives' face keep popping up in the media while 2 football clubs argue about whose possession he was.

You can't dismiss the fact Cardiff organised everything and Nantes and/or Emilio chose another cheaper/more convenient option. Piper must pay the tune. Or is the 21st Century?

Tommy Brown Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 BBC report Cardiff City has been ordered to pay Nantes the transfer balance for Emiliano Sala, who died in a plane crash before he could play for the Welsh side. The BBC has been told that Fifa has told the Championship club to pay more than €11m (£9.45m). That covers the last two instalments of the €17m agreed between the clubs. This bit is interesting... Meanwhile, French prosecutors have confirmed several employees of FC Nantes have been arrested. That is as part of an investigation into money laundering and tax fraud. In a statement, Nantes public prosecutor's office said the FC Nantes club manager, his deputy general manager and two people, including a players' agent, were placed in police custody but have since been released pending an investigation.

Anyone not a criminal at Nantes will be relieved Cardiff refused to pay for so long! Irony... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
