The club should be looking at a huge loss even if insurance pays out, I can’t believe that is a certainty. I’ve just listened to an interview with the Chief Executive of Cardiff City and if I understand him correctly, they had liability for the money from the moment he signed. However they had no jurisdiction over his travel arrangements until the day he reported for training. A crazy situation to be in. If I was them, I would have insisted in wrapping the player in cotton wool. It looks like they will go after the aircraft owners, who don’t have a balance sheet that will give any great rewards, and the aircraft owners may also have a problem with insurance. The aircraft owners have finally made a statement but still not identifying themselves and still hiding behind the trustee company.
