eaststandtom Posted 30 November 2007 Share Posted 30 November 2007 The quality of the player here is irrelevant though. Plus none of the 3 have actually been given a chance, but there is definutely question marks over their suitability for this club. However, if the £250,000 paid to Silkman is the true figure and not £1 million. Then that is about £35,000 per transfer, which is fook all really considering Hossein Kaebi is a fairly sought after International Footballer. I imagine it was quite tricky negotiating with a club from Iran, so Silkman's contacts would have been asking for a fair few quid to get it done. Especially given all the supposed interest from Wigan and the previous interest from Arsenal. keep it real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox in a Box Posted 30 November 2007 Share Posted 30 November 2007 Agents are apart of footy in the modern game, it's a case of who is good and who is bad, and whose in it for there own gain (sky andrews) ... Football is a simple game of trying to score more goals than the opposition, getting players that can do this is the hardest part. Milan seems to be doing everything his way and he is proven in business so whats the big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thracian Posted 30 November 2007 Share Posted 30 November 2007 So this joker brokered the deals that bought us Will Kaebi play on Saturday, Jimmy Butterfingers, and Sergio who the hellings is he.All credit to Tim Davies. Sounds like he tried to lose the phone book to delay the deals.... I love that comment about "the right contacts." Can't imagine what are his "bad" contacts would send us.

davieG Posted 31 May 2008 Share Posted 31 May 2008 From Todays Merc MANDARIC - COURT PAPERS ALLEGE 'DISGUISED' PAYMENTS BY PAUL CONROY 10:30 - 31 May 2008 More details have emerged of the allegations against Leicester City's owner Milan Mandaric . The multi-millionaire was arrested in November last year, as part of a City of London Police investigation into corruption within football. Now, details about the allegations being investigated have been revealed in court papers. The allegations relate to when Mr Mandaric was owner and chairman of Portsmouth Football Club. According to the court papers, the owner was suspected of conspiring with the club's manager, Harry Redknapp, and managing director, Peter Storrie, to disguise payments to a player, Amdy Faye. It was alleged they may have passed the money through a third party, using football agent William McKay, to receive the money offshore. All five men were arrested in November on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting, while the Leicester City owner was also suspected of money laundering. They have all denied any wrongdoing and remain on police bail. Mr Mandaric yesterday told the Mercury: "I am not very happy I was even involved by police. "As far as I am concerned, I have done nothing wrong. I have done everything by the book." The chairman said he only had knowledge of the actions of club officials and neither he, nor Mr Storrie nor Mr Redknapp, had done anything wrong. Mr Mandaric said: "When I receive the money from a transfer fee or any money at all, what I am going to do with the money is my business. The same thing goes the other way round. "I am quite sure when the investigation is finished we will be cleared." The information about the investigation was revealed in a recently published judgement from a High Court case. Lord Justice Latham, with Mr Justice Underhill, said: "It was suspected that (Mr Redknapp) as manager of the club, together with the managing director Peter Storrie, and the club's then owner and chairman Milan Mandaric may have conspired together to make disguised payments to a player, Amdy Faye, using the agent William McKay to receive payments offshore." The judgement comes from a judicial review brought by Mr Redknapp over the police's search of his home. The court ruled the search warrant was unlawful and ordered the force to pay £1,000 in damages to Mr Redknapp. According to the ruling, the police inquiries began in 2006, after information was obtained from the French authorities. Portsmouth signed Faye from the French club Auxerre in 2005, for an undisclosed fee but the BBC reported it as being about £1.5 million. The High Court judgement also revealed the police decided to arrest the five men due to contact between them about the inquiry. The court document said: "To some extent, these decisions would appear to have been informed by the fact that the police suspected there to have been contact between the relevant individuals which had inhibited the police from obtaining all the information that they wished." A City of London Police spokeswoman said: "We don't comment on on-going investigations." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 13 November 2008 Share Posted 13 November 2008 Detectives examine new claims in football corruption inquiry Justin Davenport, Crime Correspondent 11.11.08 POLICE are investigating new evidence in the football corruption inquiry, the Standard can reveal today. City of London Police said they were examining further claims involving some of football's leading figures. New Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is one of those at the centre of the investigation involving accusations of money laundering, conspiracy to defraud and false accounting. Birmingham City chairman David Sullivan, the club's managing director Karren Brady, Portsmouth's chief executive Peter Storrie, Leicester chairman Milan Mandaric, Charlton Athletic midfielder Amdy Faye and the agent Willie McKay are also named. All have been arrested and are on bail pending further inquiries. A file containing the results of the City's two-year inquiry into transfers and agents' fees had been delivered to the Crown Prosecution Service this summer with some insiders expecting a decision this month. Today, a City of London Police spokeswoman said: "As a result of recently received new information there is a need for further inquiries both in the UK and overseas." Police refused to give further details about the dramatic new evidence but it is expected the development will lead to the inquiry dragging on well into next year. Detectives are believed to have been liaising closely with specialist fraud lawyers attached to the Crown Prosecution Service. The announcement comes weeks after one football chairman criticised the City of London Police over what he described as a "protracted" investigation. David Gold, the Birmingham City chairman, described the process as "appalling" and accused the police of "chasing shadows". He said those arrested in the inquiry had been left feeling as though "a Sword of Damocles" was hanging over them because of the continued uncertainty as to whether any charges would be brought. The file on the football inquiry codenamed Operation Apprentice went to the CPS in July. The City force, which specialises in fraud detection, was under intense scrutiny in connection with the inquiry after the embarrassing collapse at the Old Bailey of the cheating case against the jockey Kieren Fallon. Redknapp was arrested at his Dorset home last November when he was manager of Portsmouth and he later won a High Court battle against the City force when it ruled officers had raided his home unlawfully.
