Plane missing with Cardiff City footballer onboard

The problem is that the insurance companies will want to know what happened, both to the plane and to the player. What happens if they found out that, legally speaking, Sala hadn't been legally signed and was still a Nantes player? It may be unpalatable to most of us on here, but these legal things still have to be looked into and followed to their inevitable conclusion.

According to the pre-show blurb for this BBC One Wales "investigates" programme, Cardiff are now saying he wasn't their player.

I think they've been saying that for some time. It was first mentioned on this thread two months ago, for instance :

Somewhere up thread it was suggested, I think by Paul S, that it might be Cardiff's insurance company driving all of this. Complete speculation of course, but I'm wondering if it's the other way around? A key bit of paperwork for setting up the insurance policy was still awaiting the attention and signature of senior at the club when reports broke of the plane being missing. So they have no insurer and would be in hock for the whole £15m. That would explain Cardiff's behaviour since, as well as their seeming obsession with finding some incomplete bit of paperwork elsewhere to void the transfer.
Another explanation for Cardiff's doings is that their senior people are a bunch of nasty pieces of work. I'll grant that that is also plausible.
