They are desperate. Suing insurers now, despite claiming at the time that he wasn't their player.

They like losing legal cases don't they?

"We'd have got away with it if it hadn't been for you kids. With your calendars".

F*ck my eyes. What were they thinking? Surely there'll be consequences. It's fraud.

 

[Swanjaxs]

A club rotten to the core, the sooner they go tits up the better.

 

[TimBowen]

Those 'blooooturds' bring 'despicable' down to a new level.

 

[Cinio Dydd Sul]

Disproves their whole case.

They evidently knew all along (which we knew anyway) that he was their player.

Disgusting

 

[sainthelens]

Personally I think they are just misunderstood.

Just fucking liquidate the smelly bastards already ffs man. That club is a huge fucking skid mark stain on the game of football.

Isn't that fraud, trying to insure a player that was already dead. A bit like trying to insure a car that's already been nicked.

They really do give football a bad name, horrible scum club and fans

It's not fraud, I don't think, reading the whole article. The bald headline would be attempted fraud. It's all timing, but they now seem to be claiming he was their player at the time of the crash to support their claim.

As I say, desperate, and without morals or principles.

Before we get too high horse though, ours would behave no differently. The yanks wouldn't give away 20m. They would probably administrate/liquidate the club themselves, depending on the stadium situation. I hope the council still has a no change of use condition on it.

If it was us, I'd like to think we wouldn't have flown him over in a fckn hand glider.

I see Wales online aren't running this story at all.
I wonder whether they'd have something to say if it was us?

“All Cardiff City Football Club staff understood from its broker that all players were insured from the moment they were signed, and the case arises from learning they were not.

"It will reply to the allegations made in the defence that are untrue, or portrayed out of context, in the court proceedings and will not litigate this case in the media."

Interesting. They refused to pay the transfer fee because they claimed that he hadn’t actually signed and now they’re taking the insurers to court for refusing to pay out for a player they’d signed.

Have they thought this through?
