If the reporting is to be believed, out of the first instalment of £5M to Nantes are due to make payments to Bordeaux & 10% (£500k) to McKay's agency.

Whilst I fully believe that City should pay the instalment, I'd have reservations about some of that money finding its way to a 3rd party who City are questioning their involvement.

One things for sure, it's a business matter & needs to be played out in private.
