Aye, the thing we're missing is even more games for clubs. I hope the European teams tell him to fuck off.

They'll sack off the domestic cups chasing the global exposure $$$$$$$$$'s

[ewerk 30616]

Which is fine and dandy for those at the very top. Fuck everyone else.

And then watch the salty fuckers say we've still not won anything as it's not established.

We’d qualify as champions of Europe. I may not have been being entirely serious btw

are cardiff being cunts here?

I seem to recall there was issues with whether the pilot should've been flying or not, but even so, the poor kid wouldn't have been in the air had a transfer not been agreed between the clubs?

Cardiff were told to pay the first instalment of £5.3m to Nantes.

"We haven't paid and at the moment have no intention of paying," Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman told BBC Radio Wales Sport

 

 

[Meenzer 15531]

No surprise to learn that our old friend Willie McKay was involved.

Really tough, and probably unique situation tbh. 
I can see the case for both clubs. 
 

If you put the fact that you’re dealing in humans to one side momentarily , then you basically have a case of a seller and buyer making a transaction and the “goods” have been lost in transit, as brutal as it sounds. 
 

The responsibility should then rest with the “courier” of the transaction, and I guess it’s down to Cardiff to show that they had no say in the decisions made by that party?

Sounds like Isak’s fitness still a concern

The responsibility lies with whoever enlisted the "courier", which is usually the seller.

 

I doubt that either club was responsible in this case. I refer you back to Meenzer’s comment. The agent is probably culpable.

[Monkeys Fist 42456]

Aye, this is on McKay’s wiki page

”had played a central role in the transfer, including arranging meetings between the involved parties and generating fake interest in the player, and was responsible for arranging the fatal flight. He was given an official police warning for his conduct towards Cardiff members of staff in the aftermath of the transfer.”

 

Lovely bloke. 
 

The bolded bit says it all, really.

Possibly for eBay but I would've thought more likely the buyer for player transfers.

Whats the worse crime? Arranging a flight in a plane that was practically falling apart or arranging Boumsong’s signing? Hard one to call

[Monkeys Fist 42456]

I’ve always suspected that after take-off, Sala looked up his new manager, Colin, and after 20minutes took matters in to his own hands. 

[thebrokendoll 9231]

on the brink of a world cup call up to a world of shit in a matter of weeks.
