I can believe people might be a bit shocked if they witness a horrific injury like Dave Buust or if someone dropped dead during a match.

There’s a lot of Cov players I like, past and present, and I would expect the club to respond accordingly but these days everything seems over the top.

Have to say the club and supporters handed the passing of both Hill and Regis with dignity. Appropriate respect without the histrionics.

I have a real hard time with the levels of grief over this. Not just because it seems so over the top for a footballer that no-one had heard of a couple of weeks ago but also that no-one seems to give a shit that a father and husband has died too. Can't believe Cardiff and Nantes couldn't come up with the cash between them too to pay for the search either.

I wonder how much his agent lumped in to help find him

I’m getting the impression that he had no choice due to the nature of the contract he had signed. It’s well worth watching yesterday’s Sunday Suppliment. They discussed it in depth there.

I did and yes, he was forced/coerced into the deal. Shame the agents couldn’t pay for a first class seat on a commercial plane for him.

I still don't get why after he got off and was worried he got back on it to go back.

With all the money in football he could have got an uber, or just going on a normal flight.

I'll need a tissue, certainly.

Maybe a wet wipe if I feel flush

That's the bit I don't get

If he flew over and said how dodgy it was, why did he get back on it? Fuck that I'd rather walk.

Especially in this day and age where you can turn up at Calais and be in Folkestone within an hour. It’s considerably less than a days drive even with regular stops.

I see Cardiff are telling fifa they won’t pay the transfer fee as the contract is in valid.
Smacks of them wiggling out of it due to a technicality- poor show

Yet curiously he was already registered with them and Nantes have sell ons to pay to other clubs. Doesn't need to get nasty, just pay what was owed and move on

So if he's not their player what about all those tribute and 'we'll never forget' stuff?

If what they say is true (that the PL rejected his registration) and they had agreed that all registrations for the player had to be done for the 22nd, then they are correct the deal was not complete and so why would they pay?

You could own a player but not have him registered with the PL, that’s 2 separate things isn’t it?

As long as the paperwork was signed between the 2 clubs, the deal was done surely?

"BBC Sport has also learned arrangements for a signing-on fee did not meet Premier League rules and so had been rejected by the league."

"A Cardiff source said the transfer agreement stipulated - at the request of Nantes - that the Football Association of Wales and France's Ligue de Football Professional had to confirm the registration to both clubs by 22 January, along with confirmation of the international transfer certificate being released.

The Premier League also had to clear the registration.

The Bluebirds insist the terms of the contract maintains that if any parts of that arrangement were not confirmed, then the deal would be null and void.

They claim:

  • Ligue de Football Professionel had not contacted Cardiff either before or after 22 January.
  • The FAW did not confirm with Nantes.
  • The Ligue de Football Professional did not confirm with Nantes until 25 January.
It is thought the notifications clause was inserted because if the deal fell through, both Cardiff and Nantes would have had time to seek a new player before the January transfer window closed on 31 January."

That suggests that the paperwork wasn't completed within the legal requirements so could legally be non-binding. We shall wait and see if it is true i guess.

If they don't end up paying then they need to have a fucking huge apology for 10 minutes before the start of their games for the next 10 years for the nauseatingly over the top grief hawking.

Total lack of class from the owners - put on a huge show of grief, and 'always a Bluebird etc' but then act like complete shysters when it comes to the ££££s

Not their fans fault, I hasten to add.

So the latest finding is that the player had extremely high levels of carbon monoxide in his body. Enough to cause unconciousness.
Although the pilot's body has never been found, you could reasonably assume he would be the same.
Now they are investigating how this could have happened.

That would point to a technical fault related to the engines I think. Can’t discount Sala’s phone call commenting on how dodgy it seemed
