Sala inquest concludes

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Apologies for a rather crude analogy but:

Say you purchased something online from PC world, who in turn used Hermes to deliver it to you. If the parcel never turned up you might need to talk to PC world, you might need to talk to hemes but you certainly wouldn't pay for it yourself. Now this case has proven McKay organised the flights on behalf of Nates because they didn't like the commercial flights Cardiff were offering it presumably should have an impact on who pays the costs.

Digging deeper into contracts, I can guess that players' contracts are billions of pages long with clauses of about anything, just in case they crop up. If it had been proven that Sala was contractually a City player at the time, and there's nothing in his contract about seeking alternative transport, how can we claim on that?
