The other thing he does is offer a free flight for Sala with an incredibly experienced pilot and allows both Sala and the pilot to sort it out between themselves-Still can't see anything wrong-the obvious issue is the sub contracting of ibbotson with his questionable credentials. Can we blame Mckay for that? I'm only going on what i've read, Mckay certainly wouldn't be on my christmas card list going on what i can see of his character, but we can't just assume that he has been negligent simply because he ticks all of the boxes of a pantomime villain. Sure, he sounds dodgy and shouldn't have been trading but it doesn't automatically mean that the services he provided or requested were completely his responsibility. Surely the club would've known his situation and surely they would've known that he was involved in the deal, if so then why didn't the club show some concern over his involvement initially and why are his two sons involved with the club when they have absolutely no chance of getting near the first team-Is it because the club thought that he was a good bloke to have 'on side' again, not really a problem, although it shows how football works at this level. There's fingers in pies right across the board in my opinion.
