Neil Warnock knew this as he had known Willie McKay for several years and done transfer deals with him at other clubs he managed , but still he dealt with him, shared flights with him, had meetings with him etc. The directors of CCFC must also have known this about McKay (it takes a few minutes research to check) but still allowed Warnock to deal with him and signed off playing contracts with two of McKay`s sons. The directors have never explained why they did so , even when specifically questionned about it.

CCFC is in no way responsible for the tragic fatal plane crash or in its organisation but should never have got involved in the deal in the first place knowing who was brokering it.
