Newcastle involved in payments to transfer fixers in 2011
Could this eventually put more pressure on Ashley? I bet that if there's any proof of this, it's allready well hidden in a valve somewhere in London.
I hope that this blows up into a huge scandal and the whole cardhouse crashes down.

I don't think football cares about these kind of payments. Who will do something about it, the Premier League or FA? We won't be the only one I'm sure

That probably depends on how fishy this thing played out don't you think?

I suspect this is pretty common around football tbh.

It probably is. And obviously they are usually paid to shut up. Maybe Ashley forgot one of his bills.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 8:41 amI suspect this is pretty common around football tbh.

Wasn’t this the HMRC thing that ended with no charges?

Reminds me of when Dennis Wise signed Ignacio Gonzalez as a favour to a South American agent

Re: Newcastle involved in payments to transfer fixers in 2011
Agree with everyone that says this is common, and can be sure whatever peanuts we're involved in are nothing compared to clubs that have been outspending us. Plus, I wouldn't want any transfer bans coming down, because that doesn't punish Ashley, it punishes the club, and would only put prospective owners off more anyway.
Re: Newcastle involved in payments to transfer fixers in 2011
It doesn't sound like something they can put on the club though, and rather on the people involved in this.Remember Colo wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 5:10 pmAgree with everyone that says this is common, and can be sure whatever peanuts we're involved in are nothing compared to clubs that have been outspending us.

Also, 10 years ago we were doing a whole lot more on the transfermarked than we have been the last couple of years.
Maybe the most fishy transfer though happened with a certain brazilian bought from Hoffenheim, maybe 10 years from now we will hear something about it

Re: Newcastle involved in payments to transfer fixers in 2011
Most shady transfer dealings are shady within the confines of the football system, not necessarily the legal system. Look to Barca or Chelsea's recent transfer bans. And if it did come down on an individual, it'd be someone in the front office rather than Ashley himself - he's probably oblivious to how most things get done as long he's promised good value for money.Oval85 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 7:54 pmIt doesn't sound like something they can put on the club though, and rather on the people involved in this.Remember Colo wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 5:10 pmAgree with everyone that says this is common, and can be sure whatever peanuts we're involved in are nothing compared to clubs that have been outspending us.

As for Big Joe, completely agree, definitely imagine there were some people pulling the strings behind the scenes to get us to stump up for that one.

Wasn’t the rumour when we signed Boumsong from Rangers was it was some kind of favour from Souness to the guy who owned / Director at Rangers or something?
