Agreed, hard to see how the club are at fault, any moreso than Nantes.
What is very clear however, is that blame should certainly lie with 3 people at least. McKay, Henderson and Ibbotson.
I would also want to question Warnock's involvement with McKay in the first place given that we all know McKay shouldn't have been involved in any transfer dealings at that point, and Warnock knew exactly what kind of dodgy agent he was dealing with. The whole footballing world above a certain age will be well aware of McKay's reputation...

Ibbotson is no longer here.
Henderson's 18 month sentence is pathetic given he knew that plane was in a bad condition, and he knew the "mucker" he was recruiting was not carrying current and up-to-date clearances to carry out such a flight.

As for McKay, it appears that Henderson was his contact. He is therefore directly responsible for the employment of "Shady Airlines Inc", and should surely be held accountable also?
Incredibly, both he and Warnock have scuttled away without even hardly being questioned.

The whole thing stinks really. How on earth can people like this be allowed to risk the lives of others with little to no consequence?
