His work included arranging two private flights for Cardiff’s manager, Neil Warnock, to watch Sala play for Nantes.
Both Willie and Mark McKay travelled with Warnock on the flights, the first on 5 December when Warnock was accompanied by Cardiff’s assistant manager, Kevin Blackwell, the second when the club’s player liaison officer, Callum Davies, went.
He had extensive dealings with Warnock and other Cardiff staff to make the deal happen, McKay says, including with the chief executive, Ken Choo, and chairman, Mehmet Dalman.
Why would Neil Warnock want to endure flying in the same aircraft as someone who he declares he despises? Why would Neil Warnock as a football manager have the son's of such a despicable pleb in his squad? It seems from what I read that they are like a pair of cart horses, surely Neil Warnock would have done better signing up two donkeys from Aberavon Beach?
It would seem that Warnock & McKay have cosy'ed up together at some time of their lives as there are too many inexplicable links that just don't add up?
