    From what I understand Glam, there can be as many contracts signed between clubs and players as they like, but they only come into effect when they are officially ratified by the football governance authorities - until then they are only "pending".

    It's exactly the same when you see the caveats like "subject to international clearance" or "subject to medical examination" tacked on to contract announcements.

    If he was registered with City then our insurers would be in line to meet any claim - if he wasn't then that means he was still a Nantes' player when he stepped on that plane and they would need to claim off their insurers.

    There is no doubt the insurance companies are driving this one, not necessarily the football clubs themselves.

    As Glam says, very messy.


    Regarding insurance, I think its around liability the problems arise. It appears city did have Sala insured, but some complications have been identified as to whether the policy could be annulled. Most of these complications lead back to the arranging of the flight.

    'Any wrongdoing in regards to the flight could annul the Welsh club's reported £16million insurance policy for Sala and, if that wrongdoing was another party's responsibility, they may have to sue for compensation.'

    Might have been a nice annual charity event, 'The Emiliamo Sala Memorial Trophy' alternating between Wales and France.

    As you say blue, unlikely to happen.

    The poor sod might not have trained or played a match but he was a Cardiff player who signed a contract.....It is a tragic what happened and maybe Cardiff should have taken better care of their player than they did, Special means of transport should have kicked in the minute he signed the contract protecting their investment....It was an error of judgement and an expensive one at that and a very sad one....

    What a bugger's muddle.

    McKay ìs as slippery as the slipperiest eel in the whole of slippery eel land.

    To quote Remote (I think) a couple of weeks ago. What a cockwomble!!!

    As slippery as an eel in a bucket of snot.

    Sorry blue, can't claim the "cockwomble" as one if mine. Can't remember who it was actually.
    Sums it up though.

    Okay, can't be arsed to go through 2 weeks of posts. Why has it got busier on here? Bloody Sparkey's fault I think.

    Anyway, I think credit for cockwomble is between Frankfurter and Taff. Will one of you please own up?

    I thank you. <ok>

    Depends on context Sparkey. I assume used as I have suggested "Cockwomble" then it means an obnoxious, bigoted fool. However, I assume, if you use it as "Cock Womble" then it would be an entirely different meaning and then certainly picking up something may well be involved, not sure it would be litter.

    Is it like when an elephant saw a naked man and said, "cute, but can you pick peanuts up with it?".

    It's crazy that with all the money in football these days, this could have happened.

    Sounds like things are going to go on for quite a while.

    Unfortunately so.
    It was also interesting to read that the pilot was significantly in debt and about to have another CCJ slapped on him.
    Not pleasant all round.
