isaidno Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 The Football Association has issued more than 50 charges in connection with alleged breaches of rules at Luton Town, after an extensive investigation. The charges relate to player transfers and contract renegotiations between July 2004 and February 2007. The club, former chairman Bill Tomlins, ex-finance director Derek Peter and current directors John Mitchell and Richard Bagehot have been charged. Six licensed players' agents have also been charged. The charges are as follows: Luton Town have 17 charges, relating to payments to agents for nine specific player negotiations which were allegedly made through the club's holding company Jayten (also known as J10) Stadium Limited, rather than through the club as required by FA rules. The Hatters have also been charged with provision of misleading information to the FA, not holding representation contracts with the relevant agents for the above negotiations, and dealing with unlicensed agents (both through Jayten and directly). Former chairman Bill Tomlins has been handed 15 charges. It is alleged that he was directly involved in 19 of the rule breaches listed above (except negotiations with two unlicensed agents which were not conducted through Jayten). Former finance director Derek Peter is alleged to have approved payments made by Jayten in relation to the nine player negotiations. Current directors John Mitchell and Richard Bagehot are charged with failing to report the alleged rule breaches when they became aware of them. Licensed players' agents Sky Andrew, Mike Berry, Mark Curtis, Stephen Denos, David Manasseh and Andrew Mills are each charged with failing to ensure that payments to them were made and disclosed through the proper channels, and failing to enter into representation contracts with the club for specific services rendered in relation to to above negotiations
dandannieldanok Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 Haha it was Mike Newell who basically kickstarted it all while Luton manager.
Thracian Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 Haha it was Mike Newell who basically kickstarted it all while Luton manager. I don't get the feeling football likes him for it. Which makes me wonder because I fail to see why anyone in football who operates by the rules should be at all concerned. Or is it really THAT bad....? Be interesting to see how long Newell takes to be offered another job ...

Fat Ron Posted 16 November 2007 Posted 16 November 2007 I doubt very much that those Luton fans dissapointed that he left are too chuffed with him selling them down the river on this one..
Ultra Posted 17 November 2007 Posted 17 November 2007 The fault lies with the directors, not Newell. Apparently the ex-chairman has fessed up to the charges against him. He and other guilty individuals should be the ones punished, not the club!

Be interesting to see how long Newell takes to be offered another job ... i reckon it explains why he has been out of work since... might be because no one wants to work with him, might be because he would of hard to work with some of the people he had named in the scandal so therfore couldnt work...
