I think you need to spend more time outside than inside the Birch!!
We were happy to deal with McKay and sign his two sons around that time, it is laughable that we are pursuing this like a dog with a bone on the back of that.

Your analogy is not only crass but also incorrect. We signed the player, he was ours. He was “delivered”. The fact he chose to go back to Nantes to collect some belongings does not mean Nantes are suddenly responsible for the subsequent accident due to Sala accepting a less than glamorous private flight from someone who had acted for their club.

Thanks for your concern but I have not touched alcohol in a number of years.
