If that’s on the basis that thd transfer is a bit iffy and the use of agents is the same then ultimately they should have stepped away before signing him rather than having an issue now . If it’s something else then maybe I will mate
The use of agents, and unfortunately pretty disreputable ones too, is integral and established practice in so many transfers, something which some have tried to take steps to avoid, but remains something some clubs have little option over using. Deals are very rarely as straight forward and uncomplicated as the press can sometimes make them seem, there are usually third parties involved in every aspect with one or both clubs involved.
In such a tragedy as this with investigations and now lawyers likely to become even further involved, a lot of the shady dealings will come to the surface. To apportion blame for non payment is senseless at this stage, and making payments without clarification on so many contractual points, makes even less sense.
Lawyers have got involved even before the funeral, as early as last week, as instructed by the selling club Nantes, Cardiff have every right to wait and see if and what is due.
