I'm just speculating, but if you took a mortgage to buy a house and it burnt down, you're the one who signed the agreement. If the insurer took 6 months to decide to pay up, you have to find the mortgage payments in the meantime, wouldn't you? You get your money back when the insurer settles.Not necessarily. If there's insurance in place, then it would be for the insurers to pay, not the club. I'm not saying this is definitely the case, because it totally depends on the wording, but it's certainly possible, and if so, absolutely not a matter of the club just paying. I would not be at all surprised to learn that there is insurance against a transfer fee if something happens to the player before arrival.
It won't be as simple as that. Although it's fairly obvious what has happened, the legal position on his status as being alive or dead won't be finalised at present. Cardiff aren't saying they aren't going to pay, but until all the t's are crossed and the i's dotted, they won't be in a position to go through with it, and nor will the insurer who presumably are liable for making the payments. That's not at all unsurprising, this is a very unusual situation.

If insurance for total loss is included, then why are Nantes looking to force the issue, they would have been paid.

With every mistake we must surely be learning George Harrison once wrote.
Ahh, The Beatles...the only good thing to come out of that diseased, puss-filled hellhole, Liverpool. Perhaps there are a few more, don't know, but by and large if it's Scouse I shall hate it.
John Fogerty asks them to put another candle in the window.
Funny about the scouse they don't appreciate the Beatles nearly as much as the wider community does.
How does it work regarding the poor fellas wages as it wouldn't suprise me that this is the next thing brought up, I take it Cardiff will have to stump up all this?
Would it go to his estate then ultimately to his family?
Agreed but insurance is irrelevant. When Cardiff agreed the payment schedule they must have been in a financial position to pay the agreed installments.It very much depends on the kind of agreement involved, and we don't know what it is. There are other examples like motoring or health where the insurer pays directly. Basically we don't know. I'm just saying it's possible.

Would he (his family) be entitled to wages? His signing on fee yes. But beyond that??They will not have to pay any under the circumstances. I would imagine he is insured for a considerable sum.
I can understand Nantes position in all of this, the transfer was completed and he was a Cardiff player. Cardiff should also have insurance surely?

They weren't daft, they pissed off out of there as soon as they had a few bob in their pockets.Ahh, The Beatles...the only good thing to come out of that diseased, puss-filled hellhole, Liverpool. Perhaps there are a few more, don't know, but by and large if it's Scouse I shall hate it.
That's something for the family anyway, at least they've got a bit of closure.Body recovered now confirmed as Sala.
