Did you see McKays interview? Classy is already out of the window with him in full self preservation mode....

McKay Snr is an utter weasel. His sons don’t sound much better.
The authorities should be looking at the fact that he’s evidently using his son as a front to continue acting as an agent. They won’t though.
Fat, greasy slime bag.
Watching that interview made my skin crawl. McKay is a parasite.
Whilst that's technically correct, the circumstances surrounding this transfer are fairly unique.
It would have been nice to think that Cardiff and Nantes could write off half of the transfer each, and send a sizeable chunk to Sala's family/ support any charity efforts in future etc.
This whole affair has the potential to cause reputational damage to the clubs if they don't "do the right thing" and they'll be desperate to avoid that.
The agents are utter **** and are solely to blame for the public debate.
It should be decided behind closed doors.
I loathe the Daily Mail but this is a superb article.

This dude had a say in Doncaster rovers few year ago
Cardiff have said they will do the right thing with regard to the fee. I get the impression that we (Cardiff) are looking at the insurance side of things etc.

Whilst I think the article makes some reasonable points and Cardiff probably have a few questions to answer on some of the points raised I'm not sure they're all that out of order re Sala. I honestly believe they will do the right thing.
This "story" has a few of my least favourite groups of people's mucky paws all over it. The press are desperate for a big story and to accuse people of behaving inappropriately at a sensitive time. Cardiff wouldn't have had to say anything if they hadn't been forced to by agents pushing and I don't think they would have.
A Petrie-esque deafening silence would have been most appropriate.
The problem for Cardiff is that as seems likely the insurance policy will not pay out as the flight was unlicensed. What justification they have to refuse to pay Nantes I don’t know. The transfer had been completed. Nantes are due to pay a sell on fee to Bordeaux. Cardiff will end up liable for the fee payment as agreed. Maybe they will chase McKay?
The issue here is Willie McKay. Even amongst football agents he came over as a complete sleazeball.
Cardiff apparently set to tell FIFA that he hadn’t officially signed and they won’t be paying a penny.
Said it earlier, both sides each cover half the costs between them. Forget lawyers and paperwork, the deal had been agreed, it was a one in a lifetime thing to happen. Stop being greedy and end the saga ASAP.
Absolutely ridiculous IF Cardiff are trying to wriggle out of paying on some kind of technicality, was the guy on that flight for a laugh like? DetroitHibs spot on that would be a dignified, sensible solution.
Hppe cardiff go down and are never seen in the premiership again
