Looks like there's still another 2 Premiership clubs to be named so we still might be the "frying pan"...

how ironic it will be if Bolton get off and Newcastle dont

 

 

Bolton and Chelsea are the other two clubs

Mckay not cleared by the Stevens enquiry.

 

Neither is Craig Allardyce, nor the transfers of Al-Habsi, Ben Haim & Blessing Kaku

Bolton & Newcastle named as the worst offedning clubs.

 

The report has recommended a FIFA investigation.

Stevens has also expressed concern about 15 agents and two managers. --- BBC

 

I wonder who they will be!!

From BBC website:

 

Seventeen transfers and five clubs have been named in Lord Stevens' findings from his inquiry into alleged illegal payments by Premier League clubs.

Chelsea, Newcastle, Bolton, Portsmouth and Middlesbrough were all named as having breached transfer regulations.

The clubs face a further investigation from the Football Association but it is understood Newcastle and Bolton are viewed as the most serious miscreants.

Stevens has also expressed concern about 15 agents and two managers.

Oh dear...

Stevens has also expressed concern about 15 agents and two managers. --- BBC

 

I wonder who they will be!!

 

One is Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce, and a conflict of interest with his former agent son Craig and Bolton Wanderers.

 

The other is Graeme Souness, with with Stevens reporting "inconsistencies in evidence" provided by the former Newcastle manager and Kenneth Shepherd, son of Magpies chairman Freddy Shepherd.

 

Of the 17 transfers, four relate to Newcastle signings (Emre Belozoglu, Jean Alain Boumsong, Amady Faye, Albert Luque), four to Bolton (Ali Al-Habsi, Tal Ben Haim, Blessing Kaku, Julio Correia), three to Chelsea (Didier Drogba, Petr Cech, Michael Essien), three to Portsmouth (Collins Mbesuma, Benjani Mwaruwari, Aliou Cisse) and two to Middlesbrough (Aiyegbeni Yakubu and Fabio Rochemback) while one transfer has not been disclosed.

 

Lord Stevens said in a statement: "Many lessons have been learned and strict adherence to and enforcement of the recommendations should ensure that the game

and the transfer market can proceed in an untainted and transparent manner."

 

The Premier League will now send the findings to the FA and Fifa.

 

Julio Correia -- who the fcuk is that?

Julio Cesar?

It's Julio Cesar.

 

Whoever West Ham's lawyers are, get them in.

I can't believe that Oscar Perez was signed without something shifty going on

this is really worrying, if it is proved that we have had third parties influencing our dealings the fine could be...well no where near as much as getting relegated.

 

strange thing is how can 5 clubs be implicated but only 2 managers ?

 

are they saying tso and redknapp did nt know what was going on ?

Explains why newcastle paid ?8million for sum french pile of shite!

were we not also linked with that stump Collins Mbesuma who ended up choosing Portsmoth over us, because we wanted him to have a trial or something, and he wouldn't

I like the following comment from the Beeb:

 

while one transfer has not been disclosed.

 

Hmmmmmm probably the scum and they couldn't ever be brought to dock.

 

Skin

ok our transfer were a combined fee of about ?2.50 and a packet of crisps

 

surely the massive money transfers of Essien, Luque and drogba could be the more worrying ones?

were we not also linked with that stump Collins Mbesuma who ended up choosing Portsmoth over us, because we wanted him to have a trial or something, and he wouldn't

 

Yep - Pompey paid ?1m to beat us to his signatute.....he ended up being just another African athlete...........but it did wind up BS at the time.

not suprising if he was on 50%

Nothing will come of it all.

 

And if it does, Gartside will simply point the finger at Mr. Walrus and Bolton will remain unscathed.

 

However, my feeling is that a lot of hot air will blow from FIFA/UEFA.Whoever and then we can all carry on as normal.

I bet if they did a similar sort of enquiry in Spain and Italy there would be plenty more for them to be concerned about, especially when these Spanish teams sign players from Brazil/Argentina for mega-bucks

supposedly from the official statement

 

2. Despite his co-operation, the Inquiry has concerns regarding the involvement of Craig Allardyce (at the time a Licensed Agent) in a number of transactions at Bolton Wanderers FC. Mr Gartside and officials currently at the Club have fully co-operated and the Inquiry has found no evidence or suggestion of any irregular payments to them. However, the following three transfers in which Craig Allardyce was involved remain uncleared:

 

i) Ali Al-Habsi (to Bolton Wanderers FC)

ii) Tal Ben Haim (to Bolton Wanderers FC)

iii) Blessing Kaku (to Bolton Wanderers FC)

 

In respect of i) above, the Inquiry also has remaining concerns about the involvement of Peter Harrison (LA) and his relationship with Craig Allardyce.

 

In respect of ii) and iii) above, the Inquiry has remaining, unanswered concerns about the involvement of Jamie Hart (LA) and David Abou (ULA). In the additional transfer of Julio Correia, the Inquiry has remaining, unanswered concerns regarding the involvement of the following agents in this transfer: Mike Morris (FLA), Eugenio Botas (FLA) and Francis Martin (FLA) and the possible involvement of Craig Allardyce.

 

The Inquiry remains concerned at the conflict of interest that it believes existed between Craig Allardyce, his father Sam Allardyce (the then manager at Bolton Wanderers) and the Club itself.

 

The Inquiry recommends that The FA continue with their investigation into these matters, assisted by the considerable information gathered by Quest. The Inquiry also understands that the Bolton Chairman, Mr Gartside, is prepared to share the results of the Club's own detailed investigation with the football authorities to assist in this matter. We welcome this development.

the worst they can do is fine the clubs..

they set the precedent with the spammers

Poppycock. They may have set a precedent for punishments for breaking rules B13 and U18, but this is an entirely separate issue.

 

However, I don't think much will come of it.

Weren't we the victims anyway in that all the malarky meant we were paying over the odds?

 

West Ham cheated and then lied, there is no comparison.
