Nantes have begun legal action against Cardiff City demanding first payments for Sala

[Burney]

:hehe: Stay classy, football.

[PSRB]

:hehe: Stay classy, football.

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

[IUFG]

:hehe: Stay classy, football.

yes.

I understand the agents have also been pestering both clubs for their fees.

just when you thought football has reached the nadir . . . it starts tunneling down.

[Tony C]

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.

[Sir C]

:hehe: Stay classy, football.

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.

[Arsenal Alcoholic Review]

Why wouldn't they? He was Cardiff's player.

[Pokster]

:hehe: Stay classy, football.

So? They sold him, they need paying.

[IUFG]

So? They sold him, they need paying.

they could, at least, let his body get cold first...

[redgunamo]

So? They sold him, they need paying.

Right. But so long as it's other people's money, no-one cares about that.

Well, I suppose they could argue that the PR fallout would be worth more than the £15 million.

That is, if they wanted to ..

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

They simply do not have the option of walking away from a £15 million asset.

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.

Nantes are simply trying to embarrass Cardiff into quietly coughing up without a fuss. They clearly don't know welshers c.

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.

Nobody is asking anyone to walk away from anything. But you don't think that maybe - just maybe - this sort of thing could have waited until they'd at least finished scraping what's left of the poor cùnt off the bottom of the English Channel?

[Sir C]

That's the free market economics which, by deploying clear, clinical rules, has lifted a vast portion of the world's population outr of poverty and brought unimaginable wealth and comfort to those of us lucky to live under its auspices in the west?

Sorry for your hurty feelz but my cold corporate logic is delivering nutrition and healthcare to African children. :thumbup:

Certainly the timing might be considered indelicate.

Accountants and lawyers don't tend to give much of a fúck for delicacy. :shrug:

Anyway, the poor ****'s dead. He doesn't care.

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

I won't hear a word against accountants. Mine is performing some sort of wizardly juju that means I won't have to pay a single fùcking penny of tax on a six-figure sum. He has therefore joined my pantheon alongside Arsene Wenger, Jesus and Geoffrey Boycott.

Lawyers, on the other hand, are cùnts and can fùck off.

[Sir C]

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

Now get back to work. Those shítholes won't unblock themselves.

Lend us a tenner.

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

My guess is Cardiff's lawyers think they have a good chance of declaring the contract void and the club are currently weighing up the saving versus negative publicity.

[Ash]

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

[Burney]

Lend us a tenner.

Hey, have twenty. Buy yourself something nice. ;-)

[Pat Vegas]

:hehe: Stay classy, football.

Seems a bit harsh it's only just over 2 weeks since he went missing.

Nobody chases up invoices before 30 days. **** only gets serious after 90 days.

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

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.

[Viva Prat Vegas]

Speaking of contribution, Theo Walcott's hasn't gone unnoticed by Evertonians
:hehe:

[Ash]

Did we get actual money for him?

[redgunamo]

The proverbial set of Trevor Francis tracksuits and a couple of packets of Discos, I reckon. Or, as the papers put it "a deal worth more than £20m" Theo himself would've trousered the lion's share of that.

Well done, Theo, imo.

Really? It's gone unnoticed by everyone else.

[Viva Prat Vegas]

Ash "Did we get actual money for him?"

I think we ended up paying them and they feel absolutely robbed

[Burney]

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.
