If a team signs a player and while unpacking some Faberge eggs out of boxes in his new house on the suburbs of the crappy city he's had to move to he does his back in and can never play again the club still has to pay the transfer fee.
 
If he'd arrived and died in a car crash the following week, Cardiff would have no grounds to drag their heels....

Suck it up and pay up.

As far as Nantes goes, a deal was done, they sold their player... What happens afterwards is none of their business.

The brutal long and short of it summed up very well.

Anyone making Nantes out to be the bad guys here when Cardiff have been witholding money legally entitled to Nantes isn't on. Cardiff are probably just trying to squeeze as much time as possible out of it to score a couple of quid in interest etc.

Nothing to do with Nantes, Cardiff should pay up and sort it with the insurance companies in due course
 
Perhaps the Insurance won't pay up. Especially if reports of the Pilot not being proficient in this type of flight are true.
Insurance runs deep in general aviation. It goes beyond the licenses; if you don't have enough hours in corresponding air-frames then insurance won't play ball, because too many successful doctors and lawyers pass their basic licenses, then go out and buy a plane they're not ready for yet and fly it into the side of a mountain.

Exactly, if anything it’s cardiff exploiting the tragedy to get out of paying what they owe

Seen a lot of people having a go at Nantes but at the end of they day they are still entitled to it.

However timing is well off the poor guys corpse is being brought up from the sea and they are worrying about this, could do at least waited until he's recovered if that's him.

Sensible thing to do would be to donate any profits to the blokes family

????? You do your due diligence before not after.

You don't buy a car then read about it and take it for a test drive after you bought it.
A broader context for the term is valid, it doesn't begin and end at buying a car.

Fault hasn't even been determined, yet. A body that was recovered hasn't been identified, yet. Most clubs probably don't have established protocol for stuff like this, it's completely understandable for Cardiff to call their lawyers and ask "uhhh, what the fuck do we do now?"
 
I don't think it's wrong of Nantes to want the money. It's legally theirs.

However the timing is well off, and that's what pisses me off. At least wait until the investigation and funerals are done, fuck sake.
