On the sixth anniversary of Emiliano Sala’s death, Cardiff City’s chairman, Mehmet Dalman, hoped he would be able to speak about some good borne from tragedy: how the shocking loss of a player and the pilot of the plane that killed them had served as football’s wake-up call to ensure such a disaster would not happen again.
Instead, Dalman is still imploring football’s authorities to learn from Sala’s death and beef up regulation of the sport’s shady transfer industry. So far, Dalman says, nothing of significance has changed.
