supersonic Posted 7 February, 2019 Share Posted 7 February, 2019 I read the other day that although he was insured Cardiff would be £13m down as agents fees, tax, other payments. I think it said total cost was about 30m Ill try and find it was on work forum. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk this what you are looking for: https://www.insuranceinsider.com/articles/124285/lloyds-insures-missing-cardiff-city-footballer-for-16mn As the policy will cover "Accidental Death" I think this will cover the flight, even if there are certain questions surrounding the legality of those involved. Still set to lose an awful amount of money and, by the sounds of it, they aren't exactly being the easiest people to deal with! Most clubs I know (and deal/dealt with) don't bother having a policy in place such as Cardiff do/did for Sala's fee, even those in the PL who regularly spend far more than this amount on players! I suggest this approach may well change now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 7 February, 2019 Share Posted 7 February, 2019 As much as it is very insensitive (at least on the surface) to threaten legal action before the bodies have even been recovered, there is no real reason Cardiff shouldn't be paying the money - if the plane hadn't gone down they would have been paying it anyway so they can't now claim they can't afford it, and i'm sure there's someone in their finance department who isn't too upset about the whole thing that's able to transfer the money.

SNSUN Posted 8 February, 2019 Share Posted 8 February, 2019 Not that I know much about anything (but this thread has been interesting reading by the Professionals, thanks) but I'd guess that the body belongs to Ibbotson. I'd assume he was doing all he could as the plane hit the water, so wouldn't have had time to react or get out his seat. Sala meanwhile may have been unseatbelted and trying to get a life vest on or just panicking. All speculation of course, but the fact those cushions were found in Northern France means there was either a door open or the fuselage or the plane was ripped open, and logic would dictate than anyone not in a seatbelt would have been washed away. Anyway that's my detective work, probably all wrong, but seemingly feasible. The other body may still be in there and they just can't see it's yet, but I feel it's possible they'll never find the other body. Which IMO would be Salas. Well I was wrong in a 50:50 punt, but it does beg the question, where is the pilot, and did he bail? RIP Emiliano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Samuel has a piece today, where he states "Nantes have put in their bill for the first part of the payment, because they owe Bordeaux a sell-on fee, plus a queue of agents their cut. Cardiff insist they will pay no fees — the first instalment is usually due seven days after any deal is completed — until the investigation into the crash is over." He then correctly goes on to question what investigation, and that it might take a long time. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6679785/No-sport-treats-fans-contempt-football-supporters-not-idiots.html It is a tricky time, but the world doesn't come to a stop because of this tragedy. Nantes are in a tricky position of a richer club coming in and buying their best player and seemingly now refusing to pay, leaving them with liabilities owing to other parties. One might almost suspect that Cardiff didn't have their paperwork in order with their insurance company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One might almost suspect that Cardiff didn't have their paperwork in order with their insurance company. I suspect that the insurance company are awaiting an accident report. There has to be at the very least a deep suspicion of a criminal act due to the use of an American registered aircraft/ownership, the qualifications of the pilot, the single pilot and not least the flight undertaken in a single engine aircraft at night plus who paid for the flight and related expenses and how they did that. Nobody has as yet cast any light on the report that the apparently regular pilot of this aircraft (video circa 2015) going through passport control, not going on the flight and maybe not even being there. This whole operation stinks. The agents and both football clubs come out of this badly. Hidden ownership of the aircraft is very suspicious because under US law only US citizens can own a US registered aircraft. I'm just waiting for an insurance company to come out and wash their hands of any claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted 8 February, 2019 Share Posted 8 February, 2019 Cardiff had their paperwork in check with the insurers, but the insurer will, obviously, want to do their own investigations into this. Still, that's a matte between CC and their Insurers, not Nantes who are rightly owed their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another issue will be the result of an inquest which I think will be adjourned until the final report is published. Then everybody will want to be legally represented. Manufacturers of aircraft, engines and equipment, pilots, operator, owner, and all associated businesses, insurance companies, all employing legal teams to try to pin the blame and some hoping for an unlawful killing verdict to open the floodgates and pin it on the pilot, owner, operator, charterer etc. It will not be about who did what, it will all be about who can sue who for what with the target being the deepest pockets.

Saint_clark Posted 8 February, 2019 Share Posted 8 February, 2019 It doesn't matter what happens with regards to an investigation or legal responsibility, or indeed if an insurance company will pay out or not. If the plane hadn't gone down Cardiff would have had to pay, so they must have that money available - so why are they not paying? They'll quickly lose sympathy from the footballing community if they try to use this tragedy to save themselves from having to pay out some money...

Personally, I’m gonna make it my mission to have a minutes silence at the next game for the pilot.

angelman Posted 9 February, 2019 Share Posted 9 February, 2019 Southampton Football Club can confirm that two fans were detained and had their details taken by police during our match against Cardiff City on Saturday. The Club will continue to work with Hampshire Police to identify any individuals deemed to have made indecent gestures towards Cardiff supporters. Such behaviour has no place in our game and will not be tolerated at St. Mary’s. The club will be taking an extremely firm stance against anyone involved and intends to ban those supporters identified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
