The thing is that cardiff clearly have the money, and if this crash hadn't happened, they would have just handed it over. I don't understand what grounds they're delaying it on.

I can see how that would work with at Old Trafford, the Etihad etc but Cardiff City? This is a national newspaper not the South Wales Echo.
Tan's unofficial propaganda on FB are leading with "FA have not confirmed documentation completed" and "no confirmation of international clearance". So that's alright then.

Cardiff will presumably hold off on putting in a claim on the player's insurance (16 million) and will donate to charity any interest they earn on the money they have failed to hand over to Nantes?
Is there a legal channel within football that Nantes can pursue or will it go through the civil courts?
PR-wise it's a massive blunder, talking away any sympathy to which the club might have been entitled from the tragedy.

Carlisle were due to stage a minute's applause at 3.04pm tomorrow to mark the recent death of Nigel Saddington (popular former club captain, played 100 games at number 4, cult figure, retired in his mid 20s due to ME). They've now announced that following the discovery of Sala's body, this will be changed to a minute's silence before the game to mark both deaths. But fans are welcome to applaud on four minutes if they wish. And the pilot isn't being marked, but the club expresses his condolences to his family. There's still another 24 hours remaining for them to make it even more complicated.

Football is getting ridiculous for this. Obviously, Bordeaux (no relation) Nantes and Cardiff have every good reason to commemorate him. Any club has as well but, when you are remembering one of your own, no-one is going to criticise you for simplifying matters and not marking the death of someone completely unconnected with the club. It's the "let's celebrate the famous death" syndrome.

When they'd brought the body up but before it had been identified, they'd already said that between the conditions and the fact they can't see the other body sitting there in the plane the search is basically over now. I don't see any reason to suppose that they'd have gone back on that if the body had turned out to be Ibbotson's.

Squabbles over money before Sala is even buried expose game’s hard face

An interesting piece this, I didn't realise Willie McKay was the agent banned by Newcastle because he was an immoral scumbag.
How can 5 agents be involved in this deal? It shows how much vested interest in transfers people have and why scruples go out of the window.

I honestly don't see how Taylor, having known of McKay and written that entire piece, can conclude that Nantes should "[do] the decent thing and [nip] this is the bud". His conclusion seems to be grounded in the belief that Cardiff are sociopathic and incapable of acting decently.
