I'd almost forgotten about the independent tribunal board - the Bosman ruling put paid to that. 

Didn't we get done in the opposite way when we signed Quinn from Portsmouth as well? Ended up paying way more than we planned to.

 

Rings a bell the Quinn one now you mention it. The FL forced the club to close the corner for two or three games due to the disruption and mars bars etc bouncing off the pitch for our first home game v Spurs when Gazza returned, I was in there with them and there was no acceptance, understanding or any other benign feelings that day, Isak would've been fucking lynched for the stunts he's pulled. :lol:

I think we ended up paying just under £700K for Quinn when the intention was to spend about £250K.

Aye I wonder if he's got any money left. 

 

I watched that documentary about the V11 scam btw. It's a wonder one of them lads hasn't killed those pair of cunts that nicked all their money. 

 

No surprise that Howard Wilkinson was profiting from it all either. I'm sure he didn't know that they were scammers, but as the Chairman of the LMA or whatever, you'd think he would have had them checked out before allowing them to turn up at club training grounds.

V11 scam? Sorry, I must have missed this entirely.

Not sure why that isn't working as a link but it's an iPlayer do about a bunch of players from the 90s who got scammed by this pair who took a load of money off them for dodgy investments.

 

It was worse than just losing the money though, they've all got tax bills hanging over them that would bankrupt them. 

 

Danny Murphy is on it - he reckons he lost £4m to £5m.

Was it a scam against them or the scam to avoid tax. The guys running were just shit financial advisers, they haven’t stolen any of the footballers money.

Well they were selling the players properties when they knew the selling price was double the actual valuation, so I'd say that's both fraud and a scam, aye. 

 

I know you were painting it as just the players being thick in the other thread, but I disagree. Not Wlwhen their manager is endorsing these blokes and allowing them into the training ground.

I've opted for the Medium. I bought the trackie top that came out last year in a Large and it's fucking huge on me. 
 

(anyone got a medium and want to swap!?) 

 

The trackie top I have bought and it says slim fit this time.  I've gone small.
