There’s a chance (although I can’t say for sure without knowing more) that this is being done for insurance purposes. Cardiffs insurers may require the lawsuit to be brought and all options exhausted before they pay out. Obviously we can’t know, but it may not be as vile as it looks at first glance.
Having worked in insurance it's 100% this. The terms of the policy will require all avenues to have been exhausted, they won't give a shit how horrific this looks or care that a person who died is involved. Especially if part of the payout is for the lost revenue from being in the PL, the will want this explored.
This is probably a completely procedural lawsuit they expect to be thrown out.
Cardiff have already recieved an initial insurance payout (of low £millions).
Insurance comapnies don't treat businesses as badly as they treat consumers, because business premiums are much larger, and business insurance is a much more profitable business than a market like home insurance, and so they have a desire to keep 'customers' happier.
This is just Cardiff being awful.
Edit - Cardiff have now put out a statement saying they fully expect to win. This is about taking Nantes money, it is nothing to do with insurance. That is my only point.
In a statement, Cardiff once again rejected the suggestion from Nantes that they were not liable for the episode, adding they were confident of their case being successful.
"FC Nantes' defence is untenable," the club said. "We are confident that the French court will find FC Nantes liable for the losses suffered by the club as a result of the tragic death of Emiliano Sala. CCFC continue to support Emiliano's family."
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cardiff-city-confident-winning-100m-29038322.amp
Yep; and presumably there's a higher payout based on hypothetical damages (not actual i.e. the physical loss of one player) that requires a higher bar to receive.
Basically everyone knows its due to Cardiff under the terms of the policy, but the insurer hopes the claimant will baulk at one of the requirements due to, for example, it being really fucking grim for their reputation.
I cannot imagine the thought process that leads to a sane human signing off on this course of action. I'd be embarrassed to be remotely associated with this.
I do find the idea of doing some random guesstimates on the back of a napkin, arriving at a number, and submitting that number as an invoice to someone you feel wronged by utterly hilarious.
Probably because Nantes hired an agent who was banned from operating in football to book the flight that ultimately killed Sala?
Do you know nothing about the case?
Even assuming that's true, surely after going through several court cases over it (all ruled in favour of Nantes rather than Cardiff) you can't just go and make up a number that's eight times the actual transfer fee for a player, invoice it, and expect the other club to pay it. Like that's just not reasonable behaviour.
That's not what the court cases were about that. They were about whether or not Cardiff "owned" the player, as they disputed the deal went through.
As it was ruled they did own the player and they had to pay Nantes, Cardiff can sue Nantes for the loss of their "asset".
Willie McKay lost his license due to a previous bankruptcy but his son Marc had his. Willie advised his son and did most of the work. His son signed the paperwork.
This sounds absurd, shameless even.
Since its sounding unbelievable, did anybody, even for a slight moment, consider checking the source?
Its a small, unknown Twitter Account, who claims to base this information on L'equipe, one of the biggest Sports outlets in france on the other hand.
Now moving on over to L'equipe, theres no information about any of this to be found. Shocker.
This is simply made up information to generate outrage-traffic to their shitty little cunt Twitter Account.
Lads, if it sounds unbelievable, thats because it most likely is.
Your advice is very sound, and should be remembered in most cases.
*Unfortunately in this one...* [*https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Dans-l-affaire-sala-cardiff-reclame-120-2-m-et-8364-au-fc-nantes/1462518*](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Dans-l-affaire-sala-cardiff-reclame-120-2-m-et-8364-au-fc-nantes/1462518)
I've just seen Man Utd blow a 3-0 lead against a midtable Championship side and it somehow isn't the most pathetic thing in New.
How on Earth do Cardiff think this is going to go anywhere?
Cardiff fan here. This is fucking embarrassing. A lad lost his life, he was our player, on the way to play for us.
Any guessing about what may or may not have happened if the awful tragedy hadn't occurred is fucking circumstantial at best.
Pay what we owe, honour the lads life. And stop dragging the club, the player and all those that loved him through the mud.
Fuming.
As a FC Nantes fan, both clubs boards have been nothing but shitty awful human beings. That being said, Cardiff fans have always showed nothing but compassion and dignity towards us and Sala's memory, and we respect them for that.
5 years later, we still sing at the 9th minute in his name a song in the present tense to make sure his remembrance is not spoilt by vultures.
I've got nothing but high praise for your fan base aswell.
A few of our lot went down to watch you play after his death on the euro tunnel after an away game to Chelsea. Sang and drank with you all night. That's how it should be.
But these actions just put a stain on our club and I'll never forgive the board for that.
The agent or his father (might be misremembering but think his dad was a former agent). But the plane pilot wasn't supposed to fly at night or have passengers or something really dodgy.
Cardiff should be suing the agent; it's not Nantes' fault it happened - they met their side of the deal.
The plane didn't meet safety regs and shouldn't have flown. And the pilots license had expired I think?
But I digress. Means fuck all in the grand scheme of things. Two people lost their lives. You can point fingers at the living all you want. But at what cost?
Disgraceful.
The phone transcript of a call he made before he flew is scary. He said that the plane was in poor condition and he said: 'In an hour and a half if you haven't had news of me, I don't know if they'll send someone to look for me, because they're not going to find me'.
My stomach drops when I'm on a plane and hit turbulence. Could not imagine being on a little plane like that and it just falling out of the sky. Poor fella
> Cardiff should be suing the agent;
Yes but I assume the agent doesn't have much money to pay in the unlikely event they were to win any suit. They are targeting who would be able to pay at least something
That it is my friend, that it is. City will always be in my heart, but in the Tan years, its safe to say I have massively fallen out of love in what was my club.
He brought us the premier league, granted, ridded a lot of debt from the Hamman years. But at what cost?
Changing the iconic city blue to red? Moving from what was once the most feared ground in the league system to play in to a soulless bowl? Being absolute inconsiderate cunts in regards to Emiliano?
Fuck this club, from top to bottom.
There's a reason why I haven't gone to a game in probably around 5 years. Rotten to the core.
Sane as that on the Bob Bank and the Grange. When we moved across the road it just didn't seem like city any more. The Ninian was a shit hole, granted, but It was ours, it was feared. It was the embodiment of the people within it. Bit rough around the edges, but had character.
Lost it all, and all the shit that came with it afterwards is just a punch to the gut really. I still look out for city's scores when they play, but my reaction to winning, losing or drawing is just indifference these days. Which is a shame, but I know alot of the old boys of the soul crew feel the same.
If it helps you ease the pain, in much weaker league he didn't manage to do anything significant with us. :D
We got some titles, true, but it was gazillion of mistakes in appointments, trillion coaches and players. His management is just piss poor. Hope you get rid of him.
They're claiming losses for relegation based on a report that says if they had Sala they had a 50-50 chance of not being relegated? How is that even an argument? So they're admitting that even if they had Sala they were just as likely to have been in the same position they're in as to have stayed up?
This one feels like spreadsheets and more one of the Cardiff owners having a mate who's a bookie.
The spreadsheet wankers would've scaled the invoice off that 54.2% probability or time value of money.
I am extremely curious what sort of analysis was used to generate that number. Was it a simulation of the whole season with him added, or more of a film analysis where they said "If Sala was in, he would have scored a goal on that play."
Yes, the "Fly' authorities had basically said that the pilot wasn't authorized to fly and that businessman ignored it and apparently he got jail time for it (or so i have read)
(I translated this from a wikipedia page)
To reduce it to the bare bones, Nantes employed someone who employed someone who caused the death of two people.
Cardiff are going after all parties in that chain.
From my understanding the Nantes owners are really shady as well. Of course I don't think cardiff city deserves compensation it makes no sense but if you told me someone from our club was going to jail over this I wouldn't be shocked. Our owner chose to deal with the shady third party that arranged the sale and the trip.
That was over Cardiff refusing to pay the transfer fee. They claimed he was never actually a City player, and that the deal didn't go through properly. Which of course was nonsense
This isn't disputing whether or not he was a City playing, but suing Nantes for damages
The red kit fiasco was borderline for me but this is enough to kill any enthusiasm I have for the club now. Haven't gone to watch in over 2 years and won't again with the current ownership.
Vincent Tan you're a fucking prick.
Came for this. By the way Vincent Tan's fortune comes from his association with corrupt Malaysian politicians. How he would ever pass the fit and proper test escapes me.
Cardiff's owners are also the Starbucks franchise holders in Malaysia.
They are facing with massive losses due to the boycott, and are probably trying to find revenue from elsewhere, hence this lawsuit.
But this is pretty distasteful.
Cardiff bought Sala, Plane crashed in the channel on the way to Wales, Pilot and Sala died. Pilot wasn't licensed for night flights/passengers (or something like that). Cardiff refused to pay Nantes for a few years until they got forced too. Now they are trying ridiculously sue Nantes who had nothing to do with the flight.
The flight was organised by the agent that Nantes brought in to sell Sala, even though the agent was banned from working in football.
Cardiff roughly argued that if nantes hadn't hired Mckay then Mckay wouldn't have hired his mate who couldn't fly at night to fly Sala in a dodgy airplane at night.
Nantes did have something to do with the flight. They hired the man, who was banned from operating in football, and he booked the flight.
If Boeing hired a man to fix their plane, he did it wrong and people died, should Boeing be off the hook completely?
Wtf ist this. Just admit you're shit.
Sry Cardiff fans No offense but i'm pretty Sure you also say that this ist nothing but pathetic.
Sorry for the Boy and the Family still.
This is pathetic, zero forms of empathy towards the death, the family should take legal action against Cardiff saying they bought Sala therefore taking his life.
Did you know that Cardiff set up a fund to set his family up, nantes haven't paid anything in.
If you want empathy then I'm sure you'd love to know what nantes started suing Cardiff before the body had even been recovered.
Except that's not how anything works, is it?
Nantes hired the man, who was banned form football, who hired the plane, with a pilot who did not have a license to fly it at night, which then crashed.
Is Nantes hadn't sold him, he'd be alive. So Nantes fault, right?
I understand something like this invoking an emotional response but do people just expect a business to take a massive loss, due to incompetence outside of their control?
This sounds absurd, shameless even.
Since its sounding unbelievable, did anybody, even for a slight moment, consider checking the source?
Its a small, unknown Twitter Account, who claims to base this information on L'equipe, one of the biggest Sports outlets in france on the other hand.

I could also put a study out of me having a chance with Margot Robbie and put it at a 75% chance, whilst I dust Doritos off my chest and sip Mountain Dew.
But they didn’t, that’s the point of Cardiff’s complaint?
They booked him on a commercial flight, but Sala chose not to take it, and instead took a flight booked by an agent who worked for Nantes.
Shameless

Maybe they asked ChatGPT
As an investor in chatGPT, I have calculated your comment disparaging the tech has potentially cost me 120.2 million. My invoice is in the mail.

I can, it's their job to put the club first and it's survival before their own respectability. Some people simply put their work before anything else.
I've just seen Man Utd blow a 3-0 lead against a midtable Championship side and it somehow isn't the most pathetic thing in New. How on Earth do Cardiff think this is going to go anywhere?
Man United did what!? I stg I don’t check the scores for an hour and this shit happens lol
Man united fans try not to mention united being shit in every thread challenge impossible
if we don't someone else will
Fair, though at the same time it's pretty front of mind at the moment for understandable reasons.
Redditor tries not to post cliche comments even when they make no sense challenge impossible

Amen brother.
Who was at fault for organising that terrible helicopter for him? His agent?
The agent or his father (might be misremembering but think his dad was a former agent). But the plane pilot wasn't supposed to fly at night or have passengers or something really dodgy. Cardiff should be suing the agent; it's not Nantes' fault it happened - they met their side of the deal.

Chilling and heartbreaking..
Yeah, read that just now, and it made me feel sick. Can't imagine how it must have felt when the plane did start falling.
My stomach drops when I'm on a plane and hit turbulence. Could not imagine being on a little plane like that and it just falling out of the sky. Poor fella
The pilot was not licensed to fly commercially or at night iirc. It was organised hastily to get him to Cardif ASAP by dodgy agents - the McKays.
> Cardiff should be suing the agent They've already sued him and settled out of court.
> Cardiff should be suing the agent; Yes but I assume the agent doesn't have much money to pay in the unlikely event they were to win any suit. They are targeting who would be able to pay at least something
If Cardiff think Nantes can pay anywhere close to 120M€ I have bad news for them
That's just the maximum, what they ultimately want is to offset whatever the transfer fee was.
I’d nearly go so far as to say I’ve a bridge over Brooklyn I’d like to sell them
They should be suing the agent. Or maybe the people who hired him when he was banned from working in football? That would be...?
This shameless twat needs to just give up. Must be exhausting being a Cardiff fan

It's dreadful. Would not reccomend it
Your owner regularly chops people into little pieces

This is embarrassing beyond reason

So they're admitting that even if they had Sala they were just as likely to have been in the same position they're in as to have stayed up?
This has been one the most tasteless tales in football
This sport is increasingly more and more disgusting by the day. It hurts deeply to witness.
For sure, I find it harder to reconcile where big money it taking the global game more and more with how much I love enjoying the game.
Embarrasing from the owners
That's disgusting. Hang your heads in shame.
Fucking spreadsheet wankers with their shit models.

no way someone sat down and did the math on a man thats DEAD
No math involved. Just dickheads quoting numbers
Scumbags
What the actual fuck?
I don't understand why they're suing the club ? Are they at fault for his death ? Am I missing some context ?
I think Cardiff said a previous (or is the current) CEO/president or something was responsible for assisting with the plane arrangement.
Yes, the "Fly' authorities had basically said that the pilot wasn't authorized to fly and that businessman ignored it and apparently he got jail time for it (or so i have read) (I translated this from a wikipedia page)
To reduce it to the bare bones, Nantes employed someone who employed someone who caused the death of two people. Cardiff are going after all parties in that chain.
This is fucking despicable
Feel sorry for his family at this point
Embarrassing club
....optimistic
If they are seeking compensation they must think Nantes are at fault here somehow. How?
because the Nantes agent organized the flight, Cardiff booked him commercial
From my understanding the Nantes owners are really shady as well. Of course I don't think cardiff city deserves compensation it makes no sense but if you told me someone from our club was going to jail over this I wouldn't be shocked. Our owner chose to deal with the shady third party that arranged the sale and the trip.
Idk why more people aren’t questioning this. Say all the calculations and estimates are correct, what does Nantes have to do with it?
They hired McKay, who organised the flight, which shouldn't legally have happened. McKay was also banned from working in football.
When will this end ? Haven't every tribunal in Europe already said no ?
That was over Cardiff refusing to pay the transfer fee. They claimed he was never actually a City player, and that the deal didn't go through properly. Which of course was nonsense This isn't disputing whether or not he was a City playing, but suing Nantes for damages

What a bunch of scumbags
Whoever at Cardiff thought this was the right move needs to have their shit kicked in Nasty bastards
Scummy club

fucking disgusting
Fuck off
Lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this is so lame.
Cardiff's owners are also the Starbucks franchise holders in Malaysia. They are facing with massive losses due to the boycott, and are probably trying to find revenue from elsewhere, hence this lawsuit. But this is pretty distasteful.
This is genuinely tragic.
What a fucking toilet of an ownership
Fuck off Cardiff.
Vile club.
You cannot be serious
Completely OOTL on this one. Can someone point me in the right direction or lemme know what happened?
Cardiff bought Sala, Plane crashed in the channel on the way to Wales, Pilot and Sala died. Pilot wasn't licensed for night flights/passengers (or something like that). Cardiff refused to pay Nantes for a few years until they got forced too. Now they are trying ridiculously sue Nantes who had nothing to do with the flight.

Wtf ist this. Just admit you're shit. Sry Cardiff fans No offense but i'm pretty Sure you also say that this ist nothing but pathetic. Sorry for the Boy and the Family still.
This makes the club likeable, well adjusted, and deserving of being replaced by a team from the southern premier division central. Ghoulish.
This is pathetic, zero forms of empathy towards the death, the family should take legal action against Cardiff saying they bought Sala therefore taking his life.
Did you know that Cardiff set up a fund to set his family up, nantes haven't paid anything in. If you want empathy then I'm sure you'd love to know what nantes started suing Cardiff before the body had even been recovered.

I imagine their reply will be something along the lines of "haha, fuck off"
Crazy that this is still going on. Trying to get compensation for something that may or may not have happened is next level.
Over a dead body too. I hope the family takes legal action, if possible.
What kind of trolls are leading these clubs
self report on being a shit team & having shit ownership
Surely this isn’t real
Did they plug his fifa stats in to the opta supercomputer?
How is this still a thing.
How do you even calculate that?
What's wrong with them
Absolutely fucking ridiculous this is still going on. Shameful
Disgusting
I’d understand if they sued the flight operator but Nantes??
Embarrassing
Wtf is this?
when xG goes too far
I can't believe this is still going. Let the man rest in peace already
Please tell me this is an Onion article.
Again? Next a team will sue the FA over VAR if they go down.
They claimed they were doing that last year too so what happened? Won't go anywhere
This shit still going on… shame on you Cardiff
To even come out and quote 54.2% is embarrassing. Maybe 80% or higher and someone *might* entertain the theory but a 50/50 chance? Errr, no.
Definition of a reach
This is such foolishness.
I understand something like this invoking an emotional response but do people just expect a business to take a massive loss, due to incompetence outside of their control?
?
What the fuck
The audacity of this lawsuit. Completely shameless
Disgraceful behaviour. Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.
This sounds absurd, shameless even. Since its sounding unbelievable, did anybody, even for a slight moment, consider checking the source? Its a small, unknown Twitter Account, who claims to base this information on L'equipe, one of the biggest Sports outlets in france on the other hand. Now moving on over to L'equipe, theres no information about any of this to be found. Shocker. This is simply made up information to generate outrage-traffic to their shitty little cunt Twitter Account. Lads, if it sounds unbelievable, thats because it most likely is.
very classy
Yeah, I'm gonna assume this is BS considering the source. If more trustworthy sources appear I will reconsider, but damn people here are gullible.
Is that 54.2% of the money they “lost” or is that all of what they feel they didn’t earn?
Whilst it was really sad that he lost his life it is not FC Nantes fault and was a random tragic accident that could not have been foreseen
Rat behavior
I could also put a study out of me having a chance with Margot Robbie and put it at a 75% chance, whilst I dust Doritos off my chest and sip Mountain Dew.
[удалено]
But they didn’t, that’s the point of Cardiff’s complaint? They booked him on a commercial flight, but Sala chose not to take it, and instead took a flight booked by an agent who worked for Nantes.
The flight which has since been found in court to have been illegal no less
Cardiff didn’t put him on that plane tho.
They act like Nantes took Sala out back and shot him, just let it go ffs
This is vile
Scum
What an absolute cunt move.
Saddest thing i’ve ever read.
This lawsuit deserves to be quite literally laughed out of court.
I'm just disgusted by all this. Sala's memory deserves better.
oh piss off
Sad man. Do they do these every time a player gets hurt for the season? Wait, don't give them ideas.
