Apologies if its been posted before, but some interesting scandal has been uncovered by David Conn, of the Guardian:

Right, just read all that, and quite frankly it stinks.

Although it appears they have worked within the law, It's quite clear that they are covering their backs, avoiding tax, and basically pulling a fast one. Loop holes I suppose.

Fancy that though, the agent Liverpool employed has no website for his company, no address, no phone number, just a 'Hotmail' email address, yet he is licensed by FIFA??????

We should get in there lid, register in Gibralter, then bring in unheard of players sourced off FM11 to Goodison on the promise of pasty discount at Sayers...

I just can't get further than reading that they spent 35 million on Andy Carroll.

Certainly quite interesting to read. It does make you wonder what actually happens in the transfer world.

It gets worse than that mate. Cover your eyes and put your fingers in your ears...

Tax dodgers, Gibralter, Dodgy agents, bent FIFA Licenses, Wall Of Silence from Premier League clubs who refuse to comment....blah blah blah,

To sum up, I hate Liverpool FC.

Is Turkey Skin implicated at all ?

You have to wonder who on the club side authorised the use of Bromley (given his history), and why.

This could get smelly.

Just read this and yeah, I hope he blows the lid off of the agent world. Sucking money out of the club, the fans, and the game in general.

The horrible, murky world of football finance. Stinks don't it?

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

It's never going to end, though...money's involved.

 

[peteblue]

And the best part is.....guess who's paying for it all.......

The irony of that Journo's name.

Makes me appreciate Scholes even more when you realise he didn't have an agent.
