:hehe: I've been waiting for this and wondering what the scenario would be. One rather hopes Cardiff had insuranceQuote:

Did they find his body?
Last I saw was that they found ‘a body’ in the plane but no further information.
I don’t think the insurance company would payout if they can’t locate Sala’s corpse.
Same thing like Shergar innit...no body found so no insurance payout.
What if he’s done a Harold Bishop and washed up somewhere with no memory like.
That’s nothing to do with football, it’s simply business and, more importantly, the law. The directors of Nantes have, I assume, the same legal responsibilities as directors of a company in the UK; that is to say, a requirement to act in the best interests of the company. They simply do not have the option of walking away from a £15 million asset.Quote:

So? They sold him, they need paying.Quote:

I believe Cardiff's contract rests upon a final fitness test and a first match played, both hurdles the lad may now struggle to pass and they too must protect their business interests.Quote:

The thing is though, Rich, is that this kind of cold, cruel, corporate logic doesn't exactly endear people who have a soul to the wonders of free market economics.Quote:

Oh shut the feck up you old goat. 95% of the world's population i.e. the Third World lives in abject penuryQuote:

Your data is 30 years out of date, and even then was drawn from the Daily Mirror.Quote:

No hurty feelz this end. You seem to have mis-spelt perpetual debt slavery, but let us not quibble over such matters. :-DQuote:

Well I expect that kind of abuse from a public school ***** eater for a man who works with his hands but now you disdain the Daily Mirror! That unimpeachable source of solid socialist, honest and principled commentary. You'd have fellated Thatchers enormous cock sized clit c.
This is a very good point, f. Also, we've bought players who have made less of a contribution and we've still paid up. Poor form from Cardiff imo.Quote:

Did we get actual money for him?Quote:

Well done, Theo, imo.

I think we ended up paying them and they feel absolutely robbed
I'm still annoyed we didn't flog him to the scousers for top dollar all those years ago. He'd have really fùcked them up good and proper.Quote:
