Mehmet Dalman live Q&A this Thursday

[Canton Kev]

Question for Mehmet: what was the story behind the club signing the McKay twins on two-and-a-half year deals in January 2018? How come you as Chairman rubber-stamped such a deal when there was absolutely nothing to suggest that either Paul McKay or Jack McKay were ever likely to make the grade at a professional football club that was pushing for promotion to the Premier League at the time they were signed?

Such a good question someone’s nicked it and posted it as their own on another site

What is the point of raising such a stupid question in the first place ? Fees weren't paid for them, no one knows what pay they were on and it was four years ago anyway. It is a daft question by someone who has an axe to grind and isn’t interested on finding out what the club is doing currently, only dragging up old issues, again and again and again……..

Unlikely he would be able to answer anyway due to ongoing litigation.

The application has closed, so they will be speaking to applicants this week, so they might be close to an appointment. So yes, stupid question.

The club came nearly dead last in openness in a supporters survey, they club are absolutely abysmal at telling us anything. Since promotion in 2018 the club have got nearly every major decision wrong. Being open and explaining their decisions as well as getting other opinions may actually help.

I thought you might object.....

The McKay family are central figures in the Emiliano Sala tragedy and Mehmet Dalman has been openly critical of the role played by Willie McKay. However, nobody at Cardiff City has ever attempted to explain why the former agent's sons were signed by the club in January 2018, almost exactly one year before Sala died.

In May 2019, Dalman said of McKay's involvement: "It was shoddy behaviour, plain and simple. He hides behind the licence of his son and we all think that’s OK. He meant well. His intentions were good. But why do we have intermediary agents who are not transparent or accountable to anybody? That can’t be right."

McKay's response was particularly interesting. He said: "Mehmet’s a lovely man. He’s been great for Cardiff City and my sons. Mehmet’s going to do what he’s going to do. I know he is under pressure from the owner."

This is a story the spineless local hacks should have picked up long ago. It's a right can of worms.
