Don't think so Dai. City's £100M claim againt Nantes for their negligence / lack of duty of care and also using an unlicensed agent is set to be heard in the French courts in the spring.
Could be a token or more substantial amount to end it on a commercial basis to avoid risks on litigation costs. Who knows? Anyway that’s one more box ticked on the way to the next of the enduring saga
Driving back from Mam's this morning, heard a rather perverse fact on the radio. Cardiff is twinned with Nantes.
Maybe I'm too trusting, but I'm convinced any money emanating from this traumatic and sad case will be returned to the club from which it was taken. I can't see Tan wanting to pocket anything out of this.
Is it too easy to now suggest what was the point of going through years of arbitration and hearings and burning money when had they accepted he was their player straight up, (which let’s face it was the likely outcome) the club could then have use that fact as the legal basis for litigating as they are now doing?
No: to clarify I meant ‘their’ as a possessive ie him being City’s player hence giving them the legal right to sue.
5 years on and it’s still unresolved. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport...s/cardiff-citys-nantes-damages-claim-28477920
