Especially as carbon monoxide poisoning has been found as contributing to the accident.
Don't forget the fact the pilot was unlicensed to fly a plane at night. CCFC were "in the process" of signing Sala, offered Sala a scheduled flight until a third party intervened and the agent concerned was acting on behalf of Nantes. I can't see how the club could be liable for anything.
