Emiliano Sala - Cardiff suing Nantes for £100m (P 49)

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

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.

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.

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

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.

None of that has anything to do with Nantes though, that's for cardiff and their insurer if they have one to sort out, Cardiff's contract with nantes should have been honoured. The transfer fee wasn't dependant upon the player returning from a jolly. If it happened whilst he was on his way to sign them I could understand your\Cardiff's stance as it is they are liable and need to suck it up.

Their are always contingencies in the event of a certain event such as fire , flood , storm water etc etc.

Over hear after our royal commission into the banking industry has had its findings released you will find banks waiving periods of time for such contingencies on repayment as they should.

Many already did and many have had to because often the land value will not cover the sale price and their only chance of getting payments are to let the insurance situation run its course.

Imagine if it happened to one of your family irrespective of whether he/she be in the media's interest or not because of their chosen vocation.

Lack of respect from the media in particular to report such a story that is not in the public interest in any way shape or form especially when his body has not even been recovered and he can be laid to rest as most of us will be hopefully with a modicum of dignity.

Disgraceful in every respect and why the community in general is losing all respect for what Frank Sinatra described as worse characters than pimps and prostitutes.

As Warren Buffett accurately summarised the media and the wider community for that matter the only we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.

With every mistake we must surely be learning George Harrison once wrote.

Sorry George we still have a long long long time to go.

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.

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.

What did BoJo say about the Scousers and grief?
People are starting to go full scouser where tragedy is concerned. The media sensationalising this is becoming tiresome, I hope they find the other body quickly and lay these poor fellas to rest and let their families grieve in peace.

Funny about the scouse they don't appreciate the Beatles nearly as much as the wider community does.

Probably says all you need to know about them as John Fogerty asks them to put another candle in the window.

Another absolutely fantastic band, CCR. But the dippers will never 'see the light'.

They will do suddenly when all 4 are pushing up the daisies.
