Cardiff may sue Nantes if evidence shows pilot in Emiliano Sala crash did not have the right licence

Cardiff 'may sue Nantes' following the death of club record-signing Emiliano Sala.

The Premier League club have found no proof that the pilot of the plane that crashed in the English Channel had the right licence to fly Sala following an internal investigation, according to the Telegraph.

The paper has reported that if the Air Accidents Investigation Branch can support Cardiff's evidence that pilot Dave Ibbotson was not allowed to 'carry passengers on a commercial basis', that would be negligence on the part of whoever selected him.

Willie McKay and son Mark helped organise the trip from France to the Welsh capital and senior members at the club also believe they could be liable, as well as the Ligue 1 side - whom the two agents were working on behalf of.
