They actually could have still shown it instead of our Saturday night game according to the paper but decided against it as it clashes with the FA Cup game on BBC1 tonight. They therefore chose to keep that "slot" and move us to it and not show Everton v Man City - which makes me pretty annoyed.

rachhere Posted 6 February 2019 Share Posted 6 February 2019 Oh how annoying - I assumed it would be shown tonight. Not sure why, but got a feeling Everton are going to at least pull off a draw tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like tonight's FA Cup game is even remotely interesting, not like Leicester v Crystal Palace is interesting either really, two sides who are both very unlikely to go down or get into Europe. Just weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess because of the fees paid by Sky Sports, BT, etc that the Premier League don't want to fix what isn't broken, but in this day and age there should be a way of buying all of the games to watch on the device of your choosing, or at least for the club you support. Would you pay £20 a month to be able to watch all of the Leicester Premier League games on the device of your choosing? I think I would, even if that is quite expensive, if the quality was HD and uninterrupted. At the moment I cancelled my Sky Sports and BT packages because it was getting ridiculous having to pay for both, and then finding sub standard coverage for both. The classic was at the start of the season watching Man United versus Leicester at the pub and the pre-match build up. They spent 48 minutes on Manchester United and 2 (being generous) on Leicester! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will be kept out of the public spotlight and be dealt with confidentially between the two clubs - but looks like the press are already all over it. As with any business with multi-million pound assets, both clubs will have insurance for these sorts of situations (although, obviously, hope to never need it). I imagine Cardiff are - quite rightly imo - waiting until the investigation concludes before filing a claim (presuming they're the owning party at the time of the crash) to recoup the money and then pay Nantes. On the other hand, Nantes upheld their end of the deal and the player was no longer theirs (same presumption) so they're entitled to the money. If they're struggling for cash (or if they've already spent it on the assumption it'd be coming in) then you can see why they'd be hasty to receive it. It's complicated even further if there are bonus payments for appearances and the like. It's a tricky situation, for sure. Hopefully it can be resolved amicably and not overshadow the grieving of the families. Edited 6 February 2019 by Xen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKay (who’s agent) ? able to persuade a nervous flyer to undertake a journey with a replacement pilot in poor flying conditions .

Hopefully it will be kept out of the public spotlight and be dealt with confidentially between the two clubs - but looks like the press are already all over it. The last part is the bit that struck me. Cardiff and Nantes can't avoid it, they've got to deal with the finances, however insensitive it seems - it's a lot of money. But there's absolutely no need for it to be reported on in the press. There's really no public interest here in the specifics and it's hugely inappropriate to be making a story out of it and sensationalising the who asked what from whos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
