    Ashton - don't want to clutter this thread, but being as you've asked....Wiz can delete it if he thinks it's not appropriate.

    The whole thing is being driven by the respective insurance companies. City have not been allowed to make any payment by their insurers as it would be tantamount to an admission of liability. The actual fact is that City should be covered (financially if not morally) either way. If Sala was registered with the club at the time of the tragedy, then the Clubs' insurers would be liable for the set single incident limit of indemnity of £16M. If that were the case then Nantes would receive their payment. If Sala was still an Nantes player at the time of his death then Nantes insurers would be liable.

    The FIFA Player Status Comittee has recently ruled that in their opinion, the player was registered with Cardiff at the time of the tragedy though the PL had refused his registration on the grounds of a number of contract errors, in particular the clause that required Sala's £1M signing on fee to be paid up front directly to his mother - that was illegal. This is where the threat of a 3 transfer window ban has come from.

    The PST has refused to take into account any of the submissions surrounding the whole affair other than the contractual specifics. They assume that the original erroneous contract should be valid because the "intent" to sign the player was there. In law, "intent" is not binding - only properly approved and accepted contracts will apply and that is what City's insurer's legal team are saying. The FIFA PSC is not adjudicating according to law - only football issues. We understand the transfer emargo threat has been lifted pending an appeal.

    It moves on now with the case going to the CAS in Lausanne which has legal powers to enforce its' decisions and will hear the multitude of circumstances surrounding the sequence of events including the actions of agents MacKay and his son and their employers who were Nantes FC - not CCFC. They were responsible for the wellbeing of their player until "delivered" - terrible thing to have to say but there you go.

    We further understand that there is an option to take this all the way to the ECJ. God help us if it goes that far - we just want a resolution to the whole affair.

    2 ways Cardiff can hurt Bristol City on Sunday
    Cardiff City host Bristol City on Sunday in the highly anticipated Severnside derby at The Cardiff City Stadium.
    Neil Warnock’s Bluebirds side haven’t had the best start to their Championship season following relegation from the Premier League last season, as they currently sit 14th in the table with 21 points from 15 games but they are just four points off the play-offs.
    On the flip side, Lee Johnson’s Bristol City are the team that teams aiming for the play-offs are trying to catch as the Robins sit sixth in the table with 25 points from 15 games however they are in danger of being overtaken if they don’t get a good result on Sunday.
    Here, we take a look at two ways that the hosts can hurt the visitors in the derby clash on Sunday…
    Take advantage of the space in behind
    Bristol City’s defence likes to play with a high line and if Cardiff can exploit that with the likes of Junior Hoilett, Josh Murphy and the two full-backs racing forward on the overlap, City could be in for a tough afternoon in south Wales.
    The likes of Lee Tomlin and Omar Bogle will also prove to be a threat if Cardiff decide to go for the long ball approach and aim to find their strikers directly over the top, again the pair having a bit of pace in their game and able to go in behind the Robins.

    Han-Noah Massengo and Josh Brownhill can often go wandering further forward when City have possession, leaving a gap in between the midfield and defence if the opposition was to counter.
    City centre-backs Ashley Williams and Taylor Moore don’t like running towards their own goal to defend opposition chances or to cut out a cross, and Cardiff could have the Robins panicking at times on Sunday.

    Exploit the space in between the midfield and defence
    This would be a dangerous thing to do on Sunday when somebody like Tomlin can drop deeper and operate in that No.10 role, his creativity and vision able to pick out a pass or the central midfielder Joe Ralls, who scored a hat-trick for Cardiff against Birmingham City last weekend, could step up as a No.10 and try to create as well as score for the Bluebirds.
    Massengo and Brownhill will need to be disciplined within a tense atmosphere on Sunday and not allow the gap between themselves and the defence to be exploited too much when the opportunity is there.

    Hey JG2 - spoilt by whom?

    I was enjoying the chat on this matchday thread and responded reasonably to an obvious but innocuous wind up post from one of yours - no problem.

    I was then asked by another poster for my "view on the matter" to which I replied. I've offered your moderator(s) the option to delete that post if they thought it derailed the thread but have been told there was no problem.

    I suggest you post something relevent to the game tomorrow (and it's history) like others have, and maybe the thread will re-assume it's correct course.<ok>

    Do any of you remember the game across there about 10 years back when Gary Johnson tripped up Chopra on the touchline?

    I seem to recall it was the best tackle you made that day but for some reason can't remember the scoreline - can anyone help me out here?

    Bristol City's likely lineup
    Here’s how we think the Robins will start against Cardiff. Although given the uncertainty of so many players that midfield could radically change by midday tomorrow.

    Yes,, but he has missed a lot of game time so today will be a tough game to feel your way back into the side

    Good result, importantly some of our injured players starting to come back, Nagy looked a bit off the pace at times, not surprising seeing he hasn’t played for a while, Cory seems close too, I feel those two being available could make all the difference to our chances as will also help massengo as he was starting to look exhausted. Get a striker in January and who knows. COYR
