I can't imagine what pain you are both going through.Quote:

However, I'm finding it difficult in wondering what to say after my initial messages extolling the virtues of his late wife. It's very rare that I am stuck for words but it's not so much the words I am having problems with but what to say without sounding platitudious or asking him the pointless question as to how he is. My question is what sort of sentiment is actually meaningful rather than crass at this juncture?
WOL digging as much s@@t as they can.

So it now appears that Sala didn’t really want to join us but his agent and Nantes owner had conned us into paying a lucrative deal that Sala had to go through with it! I bet Tan is livid about this deal?
I read something in early February that claimed at least 6 agents were involved in the Sala deal.Quote:

The fact that they organised the flights (having acted for Nantes) gives credence to the claim that the transfer was incomplete at that stage. They were due £1.5m of the £15m fee - although Willie Mckay has since said they would not insist on payment!
Sala's agent, Meissa N’Diaye, was obviously involved in the negotiations around his client's salary and terms, and Mehmet Dalman in his recent interview suggested he was due £1m out of the £15m total fee. Other agents (including whoever was working for or with Cardiff City) would have had a piece of the action too.
Sala's former club (Bordeaux) were due (I think) 50% of something - either the full £15m or of the £15 less agents' fees.
The one in the middle of this was Emiliano Sala who was happy where he was and was a commodity at the heart of a transaction.
In the end it would have come down to football for him. Warnock really wanted him and saw him as the missing piece of the jigsaw, and the player came to a change of heart about the move and seemed genuinely excited and positive about the move just days before his tragic death.
Football is up there as one of the most corrupt organisation's in the world. Basically a mafia albeit free for all
Take away all the agents fees and signing on fee for Sala....prob not much left.....shocking, then take 50% to Bordeaux not really so much left for Nantes anyway!? So low that WM can try and inflate the fee by pretending other clubs are interested, the bloke is just scum who needs removing from the game completely, likewise any others who operate this way. We should just give salas Mum £5 million and be fine with it, if he wasn’t ours then we should still chip in with Nantes I reckon as a goodwill gesture.Quote:
