Why not give the transfer fee to the coastguards who was searching for the plane. They could use it to get better equipment to help the people of the channel.
They should split it 50/50..
Anybody here lost £15 million l doubt they’d be as compassionate as they say, l wouldn’t be, I’d want my cash. Whilst it’s sad, the club still has bills to pay, employees to pay and secure there future. Sentiment I’m afraid doesn’t pay your debts.
Interesting scenario. Is the seller of the goods responsible for delivering the goods, even when said goods are a football player? If he were a television set Cardiff wouldn't have to pay as the goods were never delivered. One for the lawyers.
There really is no need to be broadcasting this story in public SkySportsNews doing the same, this could all be dealt with behind closed doors, totally distasteful
Not one single quote from Nantes, no reference to “demand” documented anywhere except in the opinioned headline, three words quoted from a Cardiff source (could be the turnstile operator). Really poor journalism from the BBC. Becoming the norm with the Beeb unfortunately.
It may be 'cold', but they still have to pay what they contracted... Why should Nantes lose the millions?
There’s a time and a place for this and it isn’t now
As if I needed one more reason to despise football, so much greed... disgusted by this, they haven't even recovered the poor man's body... Could have waited until he was laid to rest
Wow not even a time to mourn. I appreciate it is business but it is disrespectful.
No class not something they shouldn’t be even thinking about while the search for his body continues
Just proves how greedy the football world is. Give me my money!!!!
Timing is everything....
Well yeah... They did sell him. I don't get the uproar
What a disgrace. Both sets of families are grieving and they're squabbling about fees. Can't really get any lower than this...Real pieces of shit, the lot of them. May they both RIP.
How insensitive can you get!
Money for a dead man ? FFS where is the dignity from FCNantes RIPEmilliano
Well in that case Cardiff City should demand Nantes resurrect Mr. Sala, so he can fulfill his obligations. Let them do that and they get the transfer fee.
Typical story from British hacks! But for those saying insurance will pay it? I’m no expert but I doubt travelling in a dodgy plane that’s probably unlicensed to fly by the pilot qualifies for a pay out!
Non!
Bullshit! Football clubs are insured for such tragic incident's.
Incentive timing but pay they must! It’s not Nantes fault his ✈️ disappeared over the Channel. And the transfer was a done deal was it not!!
Disgusting, a human being dies and all they want is money money money shithouses
Spacebug2058 We got the answer to what you were wondering.
If you bought something in a shop with a credit card and lost it on the way home, you would still have to pay the bill when your statement comes in.
Cardiff owe the money but Nantes could kept the request private or just waited a bit longer surely?
Seriously guys, You have to do this now FFS?! His body has still not been found. I get the whole ‘transfer was made, they need to be paid’ but come the fuck on! Have a bit of decorum. sicknantes noshame
If I bought something - anything- and it didn’t arrive would I still be expected to pay? Both sides should donate it to the family.
Should have paid by credit card. If something doesn't arrive you can claim the full amount bk from Mastercard (or visa).
Hahahaha love how people are acting like 15 million pounds is just small change and it totally shouldn't matter where it goes.
Paperwork had been transferred. He was a Cardiff player. Cardiff have insurance up to £16m, which includes plane crashes. The real vultures in this story are the media waiting and waiting for this request to inevitably be made, and pouncing on it to produce more click bait.
Don't think he's of merchantable quality!
sort that shit out later bruh
Can they just have some decorum and respect, and sort this out behind closed doors in a dignified manner. Jesus.
It didn't them long to get back to the issue of money. Greed over respect.
I doubt they’ve used the term ‘demand’? More BBC spin for a headline and to get a reaction. I’m sure Cardiff are aware of their responsibilities but ffs, the body hasn’t been recovered or the family fully grieved yet, I don’t believe Nantes has DEMANDED anything tet.
Cardiff will be insured. Nantes were always going to get the money, but it won’t cost Cardiff a penny. It’s a shame it’s been publicised to the media, but it’s business and Nantes are simply setting the wheels in motion to recover the value they agreed for an asset.
Nantes should show more respect, the poor guy has not been buried yet.
Timing is awful but the contract was signed, he went back to Nantes to say goodbye and Cardiff offered him a private jet. It's messy AF and maybe could have waited for the poor lad to be returned to his family 1st!
Fair enough
That poor boy ! and they can do is row about money because theY can and he can't. They could have waited a few months
Bad taste. Insensitive. Shameful.
Yeap. Was wondering when this would come up.
I understand their worries but Timing is awful they should have wait little longer.its clearly going to court and will be interesting one for sure but when I buy something online and if I don’t receive it I wouldn’t pay because I haven’t got it .
Sad individuals showing greed over compassion.
Goodness me let them at least find his body first..... Poor family
Perhaps wait until the poor guy is laid to rest! Totally disrespectful!
Fools rush in. god bless the poor souls departed.
I should bloody think so too.
They should have sent the South American player in a better aircraft. This man needs Justice and his family is so shocked by all that happened, that they don't see that they must demand Justice.
Fifteen million reasons that sadly they are right to do so, Cardiff SHOULD have had him insured unless they dropped a B******
Sorry but if the poor sod is dead then surely the deal is defunct? Without an “item of sale” the sale falls through and the seller hopefully has insurance for such that pay up?.....
Shocking!
Hohoho!
Give it to the family
And, if Cardiff pay the fee, will Nantes deliver the player - what a completely insensitive demand?
Cold, and completely disconnected from what has happened since the tragic incident
Tacky !
The timing is poor, to say the least. But Nantes do still need to be paid. Cardiff's insurers will pick up the tab, in an appropriate time frame.
send it in a plane.
Jesus Christ. :(
Rules are rules
Nantes showing real class there.
WTF? Sorry but that is a disgrace. Hopefully UEFA step in.
Despicable behaviour if true!
Bit harsh.
His poor body hasn't been found yet! savage world of business
We haven't had our player yet..
