Cardiff City FC Statement - Emiliano Sala court hearing

Sun Dec 07, 2025 4:02 pm

Tomorrow, Nantes’ commercial court will finally hear the substance of Cardiff City Football Club’s case against FC Nantes. We want FC Nantes to be held accountable for the faults committed by Willie McKay, FC Nantes’ true agent.

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=204226


This tragedy, which began nearly seven years ago, cost Emiliano Sala his life. It is a tragedy that could and should have been avoided, had the people involved in the transfer on FC Nantes’ side not relied on the services of a banned agent, who went on to organise illegal flights to get the deal done.

On the eve of the hearing, however, there is hope. The hearing marks another step towards uncovering the truth and establishing more accountability in football.

This case isn’t about harming football: it’s about protecting its integrity. This is about ensuring higher standards across our sport, especially surrounding transfers.

Because Emiliano Sala deserved better. Because football deserves better.

RIP Emiliano Sala

Nantes, as in players (His teammates at the time) and the supporters are not scum.

Its their owners.

The decison makers.


We have all as fans of Cardiff faced shit from other supporters based on What our owners have done.

So lets not repeat that process guys.

For me it all comes down to how strong the link is between McKay and Nantes.

Was McKay acting for Nantes or was he doing this on his own?

Agree! I believe he was, but we will know for sure in the coming weeks/months!

Sadly, the ‘losing’ side will no doubt then drag it on further (as I suppose is their legal right) :cry:

He published his letter saying he was so i would say that there is no doubt whatsoever that the Mckays were Nantes selling agent .

Yes but was he acting on behalf of Nantes for this tragic flight? Did Nantes know anything about the flight?

Re: Cardiff City FC Statement - Emiliano Sala court hearing

I don't think we'll ever know the truth where the flight was concerned.

There's also the link between Warnock and McKay which I think Nantes will surely put forward.

It doesn’t matter whether Nantes knew about the flight. Agents don’t have to run every action past their principals, they just get on with things and their principal assumes they’ll do things correctly.

This jack tramp follows a club who have shafted their creditors TWICE, once in administration they paid back 1p in the pound.

Wow! I’ve seen some low comments on this Forum from you ‘Jealous Jacks’, but that is disgraceful beyond and says a lot about you as a person! :oops:

Not a chance of ‘deleting’, as it sums you up and is an example of your purpose on here; to be a complete tw@t! :oops:

Even the majority of your fellow Swans will be righty embarrassed that you associate yourself with bile! :oops:

And you took it from the Daily Fail, too! :banghead:
