Now, according to the Torygraph, police are investigating Willie McKay over threats to "kill everybody" at the club.

Their joyous return to the Premier League has turned into a total nightmare, hasn't it.

Weird that Cardiff signed both of Willie McKay's 22yr old twin sons last summer, despite one being stuck in Leeds' reserves & previously loaned out to some Scottish League cannon fodder, and neither having ever showed even the slightest sign of being passable Championship level footballers.

Curious, don't you think?

Here it is...

Equally, I would be just as intrigued to learn what it was that prompted Cardiff in January last year, going for promotion to the Premier League, to recruit Paul and Jack McKay, twin brothers whose careers until that stage could be politely described as, well, slow-burning.

Recognise the name? The McKays’ father, Willie, is a big-time football agent, the kind many clubs want to keep happy, and part of the complex web of middle men, along with his other son, Mark, in the Emiliano Sala transfer. Paul and Jack had previously been together at Doncaster Rovers, where Willie had got himself an exclusive two-year consultancy to handle transfers, and also spent time without anybody really noticing at Leeds United under the management of Steve Evans.

In both cases, it is fair to say they were some way below the required grade, meaning a series of loan moves involving Ilkeston Town, Gainsborough Trinity and Airdrieonians. They are 22 now. One is on loan at Chesterfield, the other at Morecambe, and somehow I don’t imagine either player getting a single minute of first-team football for the club that gave them, very generously, two-and-a-half-year contracts amid a promotion chase to the top division.

Yes, a complete mess all round. It seems they are all determined to overshadow the Sala's memory.

Think I'll go to bed soon.

Willie McKay is a shit, a liar, and a parasite.

I have little else to add.

Sorry, but I had to chuckle at this.
Probably very wrong, but couldn’t help it.

Mackay has a long history of dodgy dealings, investigations, bankruptcies and bans. He's not even allowed to practice as an agent any more, so quite why he's so involved in the whole Sala saga is extremely suspect in the first place.
