Cardiff’s new record signings plane has gone missing.
Cardiff’s new record signings plane has gone missing.
Baz was on a Premier League player dying so he probably shot it down.
At least put his name in the title of the thread dickhead.
What a waste of money.
In yo face, Warnock.
I'm a twit
To hell with the rest of the world.
We've not got Sala
Oh Calais, Calais
1 in 11m my ass.
It's a brilliant way of getting out of going to Cardiff.
I can imagine Giggles overhearing this in conversation and almost wetting himself before the desolation sets in.
Something something Malaysians something planes.
He looks like Baz with a shitty beard.
Sexy bastard.
I'm a twit
Miles has probably already pencilled this in as a feature for FM2020
Always good to see the Channel Islands make the news.
The random reports that he was on the same plane from Cardiff back to Nantes and told his friends he was very scared to get back on said plane to go back ... and that it took 4 attempts to actually takeoff ....
What a nightmare.
So sorry but that's what you get Warnock you rancid cunt.
One in four... Someone work out the xCrash total for me.
Hope they still have the receipt.
I did wonder about the logistics of a potential transfer refund.
That's Warnock definitely put off the forrins now.
Imagine being the next target man Cardiff sign. Knowing you’re only being signed as the first choice copped it over the channel and you’ll always be held up against the idea of what he might’ve been.
On the plus side, Callum Paterson remains excellent value in FPL for another week or so.
Sending for him in a fucking single prop training Cesna is such a Warnock/Cardiff thing to do.
If they go down he will always blame this. Yet another unregistered Argie fucking ol' Neil Warnock over.
My old man's just assured me that this is a life insurance scam, so I'll stop worrying.
I realise it's not the main issue by any stretch, but Cardiff are still out 15m, right? Or would he have been insured the minute the payment went through?
I wondered this but didn’t want to say it out loud. Player amortisation means it’s 15m over 4 years. It’ll be covered by insurance but will be a multi year battle of who’s insurance pays.
Seeing as most Premier League footballers aren't allowed to do something as mundane as ride a motorbike I'm not sure what the general insurance position is regarding ropey old single-engined aircraft over water in the dark.
Doesn't it take years for him to even be acknowledged as dead?
Yeah. No insurance company is going to pay a penny on that claim for several years or maybe ever.
Either Cardiff or Nantes are out. If Cardiff haven't paid the whole lot up front they'll just not make any further payments and let Nantes try and sue them.
It's one of those horrible scenarios though where a human being is considered a fiscal asset for a company. Could argue the transfer system as a whole is unethical.
If these private search boats are out today they're going to need to start a crowdfunding page to save them as it's absolutely brutal here.
They should just give whatever money they raise to his family and face facts, hard as that might be, giving some idiot in a boat £300k isn't going to do any good.
The Argie whining is starting to get on my nerves. He's in Davy Jones's Locker, come and send your own patrol boats so Guernsey don't have to waste their resources.
I think the human mind just struggles to accept the fact that aeroplane crashes really aren't all that survivable, probably as a result of being subjected to all those safety demonstrations.
In the event of a landing on water, you will likely be dead before you get a chance to faff about with the lifejacket or remove your high-heeled shoes. Your personal belongings will accompany you to the bottom of the ocean. Thanks for flying . . .
I'd have just taken the delay with the commercial flight after the second botched takeoff.
Yeah. I look at those little things and think... no thanks.
I actually prefer it when I'm flying over water in a helicopter though. If something goes wrong at least you have a chance.
The family are doing what they should though - pushing for searching to continue. Until they're through the disbelief period, they'll cling to whatever hope they can.
They may never accept it and assume he's floated off in some current onto an uninhabited island and can't contact others.
At this point, he's either in the plane on the seabed, or in the unlikely case he got out, frozen solid/bloated and drifting.
Christ, a guy fell in the ns earlier this week from an oil platform and was picked up dead 4 hours later. Winter waters in this area are death traps.
They're after closure and I can respect that.
Indeed - Never seeing a loved one again but not knowing for certain that they're dead must be horrific.
I would disagree. Agreeing a fee to potentially terminate a signed contract seems to me the most fair way to do it.
I say this because in America the player has very little say-so in mostly all situations. For example, you could sign a 5 year, multi-million dollar deal to play with the Yankees but (unless you are one of the very few players who have no-trade clauses) you could end up being traded to Kansas City whether you want to go or not.
At least in football the player has a choice in the matter. I was watching the Sunderland doc on Netflix (great if you haven't btw) and they were talking about Jack Rodwell and basically really making him out to be a villain for not mutually agreeing to terminate his contract. At first, even I thought aye come on pal you've made a plenty pretty penny in your day but then it's like well wait a minute, no, a contract goes both ways. He doesn't HAVE to do anything.
idk.
The bit that gets me in sports is that if you're unhappy you can't just resign.
In a normal job its common for people to resign and move elsewhere but in sports that just doesn't happen because the individual is too much of a financial asset.
If it were to happen it would be chaos because you'd naturally have all the best players at the big clubs and the little ones would be forever feeding those up the chain.
Sunderland documentary is great. The American contract policy in sports is total bullshit tbf. How the players union agreed to non-guaranteed contracts is beyond me. Presumably because the ones negotiating were high earners where it didn't really matter. If you chucked a bunch of late round draft picks in there instead or as well and you'd have very different conversations.
Baseball is currently heading for a player strike because of how retarded their system is, although in fairness it's all underpinned by the closed shop nature of it. While there are millions of players and only 30 (or 32 in the NFL) teams where you can earn a living, owners will always hold all the cards.
Depends on the policy, but given how valuable footballers are, I can't imagine any underwriter would allow them to travel in these small rickety private planes, especially when they could have gone for a commercial flight, or even train. Furthermore if the pilot was changed last minutes, the underwriters would need to agree to that before they give any sort of cover.
So yeah, no way insurance is paying out on this.
Some cushions have washed up from the plane apparently: https://www.theguardian.com/football...n-french-beach

The plane has been found
Oof. I mean, they're right but ... oof."This is about the best result we could have hoped for the families but tonight they have heard devastating news and in respect of the families I won't comment any further about what has happened.
The forced Warnock tears were a bit lol, for a dirty forrin and all.
They are saying there’s one body on the plane.
The Cardiff fans are all declaring their endless love for him in Twitter. Did he even complete a training session for them? I mean, it's sad but this is a bit much.
