Some justice for the Sala family at least.
Not on my watch.....18 months is ridiculous.....Quote:

Henderson's mitigation was cringeworthy. Indicating that he would have to rely on his old age pension helped by his wife's teachers pension claiming poverty shows scant regard for the loss of a young promising footballer with a bright future ahead of him all due to his negligence and the pilot's disregard for agreeing to fly the plane unlawfully. I thought Henderson's poor me mitigation was in extremely bad taste. An 18 month sentence was far too light given the disregard Henderson showed for passenger safety.
I think the maximum sentence for this charge is 5 years.
Why his actions, and the results of those actions, dont justify a longer sentence is beyond me.
I agree that he should have got longer, but he also could have walked away with a non-custodial sentence.Quote:

Hes also considering appealing the sentence/conviction.
He should take this light sentence on the chin.
If he appeals hope they add on a few years.
GoodQuote:

I would say 18 months for that level of negligence is very low
fuggin premier league footballer.....he should've been on a jet plane with a glass of champers and a medium rare steak....
not on a single engine malibu piper flown by someone who had numerous concerns raised about his ability.....
All so desperately sad.
18 months prison is not justice for Emiliano's family and the defence appealing makes me feel physically sick.
Who Sala was is irrelevant it’s some poor sod who lost their life due to the negligence And greed of a few peopleQuote:

Whilst I agree with your sentiment, unfortunately life doesn't work like that.Quote:

Sala was a record signing for City and should have been treated with far more care.
If I die in a plane crash tomorrow, no one is going to be singing my name down the City. Neil Warnock isn't going to come to my funeral.
Everyone involved fugged up. But Ibbertson and Henderson were the guilty parties.
Do we even know who Sala approached to arrange the doomed flight yet after turning our BA flight down?Quote:

that was in a article in the Guardian in Feb 19
The judges sentencing summary is fairly damning of Henderson
