Sala inquest concludes

[Toadstool]

So McKay organised the flight, and he was working for his Son who was representing Nantes - so is this what CCFC want? Does that absolve them of paying the transfer fee as Nantes and their associates have some responsibility?

I don't think it has any bearing on the court case really. that is based around had the transfer completed or not

I can’t see the club winning the case if that’s what the reason for non payment ?

Hasn't that always been the reason for non-payment?

The CAS hearing (Cardiff appeal against the September 2019 FIFA ruling) has finished - although those who know say the decision may not be announced for months - so the inquest outcome cannot affect it.

Hasn't the CAS case been and gone already on 3rd and 4th March ? And wasn't it purely contractual anyway and what happened on the flight and who arranged it not relevant ?

Perhaps City/Nantes will go after McKay for the money after this?

Does not absolve city but a fair conclusion would be a 3 way share of the fee between Nantes, city and the Sala family.
Nantes and McKay are definitely guilty of ratcheting up the final fee so they do not deserve 100%, which I fear is going to happen.

I don't see how that could be a possible outcome.

we will pay all or nothing
