Speculations have been many, since a private plane on Monday disappeared over The English Channel with Cardiff rekordindkøb Emiliano Sala and a pilot.
Among other several media wrote that the plane belongs to Salas agent, Willie McKay, but it rejects the agent, just as he rejects all talk about, that he should have chosen the airline or the pilot.
Willie McKay says, rather, that he arranged for the aircraft through a company which he has previously used – and it is supported by a published message-correspondence between Emiliano Sala and the agent’s the son of Jack McKay, who is Under 23 to play in Cardiff.
– In relation to the order of the plane, we contacted David Henderson, who has flown for us and many of our players across Europe a myriad of times. We were not involved in the choice of aircraft or pilot and would like to make it clear that we are not the owner of the aircraft, as Emiliano flew with.
– As the text messages shows: Emiliano was not asked to pay for the flight, it reads it in from Willie McKay.
Privatflyet was topical, because Emiliano Sala would travel from Cardiff back to Nantes in order to say goodbye to his old club, and to pack his things, before he returned back to Cardiff to train on Tuesday.
Cardiff offered to arrange for the transport, but then having to Sala, the first from Nantes to Paris, with flights to London Heathrow and then by train to Cardiff in Wales.
Sala would, however, like to faster return, and therefore offered the agent and his son for their help.
The following messages, which Ekstra Bladet has translated.
‘My father said, that you take home in the morning. He can organize it, so a plane takes you directly to Nantes and back on Monday, at a time that suits you, so you can get to training on Tuesday.’
‘It is all the time. I was just about to check to see if there were any flights to Nantes in the morning.’
‘he says He can organize a flight that goes directly to Nantes,’
Sala: How much will it cost?’
McKay: ‘Nothing. He says that if you help me to score goals, then it is nothing.’
‘Hahaha with pleasure.’
‘We’re going to score lots of goals.’
‘I would like to travel to Nantes in the morning around 11 a.m. and get back to Cardiff on Monday evening around at 21, if it is possible.’
‘Good. I send a message, when there is a track on it.’
‘Hello. Is it possible that you can come back at 19 on Monday night. It is just because the pilot is going to have to take home up north, after he has been in Cardiff.’
Hello, 19.30 will be fine.’
McKay: ‘Yes’, it is fine.’
Sala sends a picture of his luggage.
‘you Can ask if I can take this on the plane.’
‘Yes, fine,’
‘But it can be on the plane?’
McKay: ‘Yes, there is space on the plane for your luggage.’
