These messages were available at the time, or at least in the weeks after his death. It’s how football agents work and no different to tens of thousands of transfers all over the world. That’s why Cardiff used McKay countless times in the past.
These have nothing to do with the case however, just an insight into football and the money within it. Sala was never forced to go anywhere, he was going for the 50k a week, he was a fully grown adult who made his decision. What he was essentially saying is the money is good but didn’t want to go for footballing reasons, that’s the trade off.
Do you really think Bale wanted to go to China? He was only going for the cash but doubt he would be doing it to further his career. Sala made a similar choice and that opportunity came to him due to having an agent, that’s why so many (almost all now) footballers have them.

That sort of skirts around things. If Gareth Bale had gone to China you think the facilitating agent wouldn't arrange for him to fly in a 35 year old one engine plane which was spewing out carbon monoxide and flown by an unqualified pilot.
The agent owed a duty of care which he failed to provide.

the agent probably didn't even see the plane.. but ES did. and had already been in it on the way out.
if I organised some form of transport for you which you are very uncomfortable about but use. would you being an adult millionaire just go along with jumping in it for the return...?
every one wants a scapegoat but the truth is with hindsight a lot of people could have done something different to what they actually did do ,including both the deceased men..

It's not to say that anyone can say Ibbotson set out deliberately to put his own or his client's life in danger; but through a series of both deliberate and accidental occurrences, the flight was illegal, the plane/pilot not fit for the job and two men died as a consequence
Hindsight is not really a fit word to use here; but the instigative results will hopefully stop such an occurrence happening to some other party in the future
