I am always cynical about what newspapers print & to be honest any references to Cardiff City FC being owned by a billionaire in the richest league in the world is Journalistic licence, Tan is certainly a Multi millionaire but in £ Sterling he currently falls slightly short of being a £ Billionaire, but is certainly wealthier than the Nantes owners so I am guessing that the much smaller club that completed the transfer in the required timeframe are wanting paid.
On the subject of the McKay 'cut' or 'commission' I think it is only right that whoever is supposed to pay that to them holds that back until such times as the full investigation is complete & that the McKay's are not implicated in any wrongdoing.
I might be speaking out of turn but if the McKay's are implicated in any way, shape or fashion I can't see any justification in rewarding them for getting it so wrong with a £1.5m payday.
Being implicated can be as simple as having manipulated the transfer fee by deception or being implicated in the illegal operations of the flight, both would be a bitter pill to swallow if proven & having to pay for it would be even more distasteful.
