Breaking News:
Emiliano Sala: Flight organiser convicted over plane deaths
The organiser of the flight in which footballer Emiliano Sala died has been found guilty by majority verdict of endangering the safety of an aircraft.
Sala, 28, and pilot David Ibbotson, 59, died in the crash in the English Channel in January 2019.
David Henderson, 67, of Hotham, East Riding of Yorkshire, was found guilty after a trial at Cardiff Crown Court.
He had also previously admitted trying to arrange a flight for a passenger without permission or authorisation.
Argentine striker Sala and Mr Ibbotson died after their single-engine Piper Malibu plunged into the English Channel on a flight between Cardiff and Nantes in January 2019, set up by Henderson with football agent William "Willie" McKay.
The footballer was involved in a £15m transfer to Cardiff City from Nantes and was travelling between the two cities at the time of his death.

Still going through the courts I’ve heard with Cardiff doing everything to avoid paying.

Disgusting, but not surprising from them lot.
Utterly shameful especially after their big "Forever a Bluebird" memorial for him.

A surprisingly short sentence that does little to enforce safety in the air or give confidence to passengers - and they are talking about appealing against it!
A very sad affair all round with no one coming out with any credit.

Why can't both clubs just accept 50/50 and let the poor bloke rest in peace?

I don't think this matter will help the poor chap to 'rest in peace'. I think Cardiff just doesn't want to pay for something they bought.

Because Nantes have done nothing wrong.
Cardiff on the other hand should shut up, show some class and put their hands in their pockets. The club had this massive spiel about Sala being ‘forever a bluebird’ and then turned around and added an asterisk saying “unless it costs us money” straight after.

Utterly classless from Cardiff, I would be ashamed.
Yep, spot on.
Let's hope Cardiff end up spending millions on lawyers and still lose.
They really are an embarrassment to the rest of the country.
