And so it goes on ( Sala )

This item demonstrates that some of the initial criminal allegations flying about at the time which were regarded as fanciful by many, including myself, might actually have some substance in reality.

Very interesting , and if somewhat rationalises the clubs stance on the matter I think .

Gosh this is dragging , my heart says we should pay

That sort of fee ( €17m ) value would buy Wilson .


I'd love to give the fee directly to the family .

It does seem that Nantes have the upper hand in this matter. But I think it is right that City question the involvement of the 'agent' in this case, and maybe ask where all the money was going? I know Nantes were trying to sell him for £6 Euro the summer before, so how much was being whisked away to third parties? City have set aside an amount in their accounts for this fee, but they still have to pay it if the judgement goes against them.

I think it’s in no doubt that Sala was our player when the plane crashed

What is in question is possible illegal 3rd party involvement, banned agents, unlicensed pilots etc

Just highlights the murky world of international transfers

I agree that we should pay - but also if the tragedy was as a result of someone else’s negligence then they should reimburse us.

It could financially cripple the City if we pay. Would anyone on this board pay a supplier for a product not received? Think we should hold on until a fair legal judgement is reached which is right for all parties.

As you say, it doesn't make sense to pass judgement without knowing what is involved in this complex case and as to which parties carry responsibility, whether it be financial or moral.

I can't find the story now, but I believe the Prem League said in the days following the crash that he wouldn't have been allowed to play for us as he was still registered in France.

But my memory ain't what it used to be.

City should challenge as much as possible.
