Legal team A gets sacked from Club B, Legal team A know Club B’s dirty secrets. Legal team A are pissed off so drop a few legal, yet incriminating, documents in to the lap of said police force. Club B gets a visit from the ol Bill and boom jobs done.
So why now? Well, legal team A had a client/solicitor privilege with club B but as club B sacked legal team A that no longer stands. Legal team A a renowned firm with years of ties to Club B are pissed off at being forced out.
What better way to seek revenge against the dick who sacked you I’d say. I also think this is a completely separate agenda to that of a client they may happen to represent that also finds him or herself in a battle with said club B at present.
Good timing though eh. The lining here would be if a certain head of an organisation that looked out for club B was all implicated and subsequently arrested, but we can dream as they say.
