It is like wading head down through a pit of pig shit "Willie McKay claims Nantes owe his son £1.5m for brokering the deal but said "they won't be chasing Nantes for the moment". You're all heart Willie, waiting for you Mill and half with such fortitude and patience.

Football agents. Right up there with estate agents and the legal profession when it comes to morals and honesty.

Very noble of them to let the dust settle first!

To play devils advocate, why should they forgoe the payment? They aren't asking for it from the players family or friends, they're asking for it from a business (grief doesn't come in to that?)
I mean I dislike the concept of football agents as much as anyone, but I don't see a problem with the above.
The agents did not cause this tragedy, the responsible parties who filed the flight plan and made the decision to fly are culpable, imo.

Football is really in the gutter isn’t it? Read this email from McKay to Sala it really is an eye opener into the murky world of hawking players around for financial gain. Even his mother will stand to "earn" £1m...
https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/asam1a/willie_mckay_full_email_to_emiliano_sala_before/
Also notice Sala's real agent Meissa N'Diaye?? Any relation to our illustrious Badou because that would go some way to explaining that little mess.

But it is one of the most common surnames in that country. That ends my conspiracy theory damn.

She will have done nothing to facilitate the deal and if Sala wants to give her a mill it should come out of his taxed income. McKay comes across as a smarmy wanker in that email, basically inserting himself into a deal when there is absolutely no need for him at all.

Makes you wonder how much these agents and their shady dealings have to do with our plight at Stoke. Strikes me there may be dubious payments flying everywhere and a player being fit for purpose for the club in question being only a secondary consideration. I speculate of course.

We have many issues in football; diving, decision making of the referees and the perceived problems around escalating wages. Agent fees is the number one issue for me and surely an easily solved issue. It should be capped and the transfer should be limited in the number of parties involved. It would stop umpteen agents getting involved simply adding cost and noise to the transaction. It's not hard to think that the reason something like this hasn't happened is due to the distribution of power within FIFA and the agents ability to lobby and block any move.

“It was a bit embarrassing from Cardiff’s situation because they had a player that was worth €17m and then left him to sort a hotel for himself and go on the computer and look for a flight himself. I think Cardiff let themselves down badly.”
Woe is me a 28 year old millionaire footballer was expected to book himself both a flight and a hotel!?
The way Mckay is going on about this is classless and I really think he’s protesting too much.

If he was my agent and he was raking in that sort of money I think I might expect him to get off his big fat arse and actually do something for me. Surely all the things he is complaining about are exactly the things his agent should have done?

I understood that McKay was going behind his agent and organized the flight himself to look like Mr Billy Big Bollocks.

The depths football agents can sink to, in this case through their unlicensed father, are of a magnitude too deep to comprehend. It is like trying to understand outer space. And the creation of the universe. Mckay Family = Allegedly parasitic unethical greedy licensed football agents. link
