I think the guard dogs are often integral to the protection of haulage company owners. Some have at least half a dozen guard dogs that might reduce the risk of all them getting drugged, I guess.Heard a story (i used to do a lot of work for someone who had a housekeeping company working with a lot of the squad, i worked at a lot of players houses back about 4/5 years ago) about a current player and the tactics his ‘security company’ used to increase the service provided and increase the bills to go with that. Protection/extortion racket pure and simple.
Youll have heard of the guy that runs the company. Particularly if you are from around the stockport area.
When said player asked the club to contact the police for help in cancelling the contract , the police advised him to stick with them to avoid any ‘come backs’. In their words the owner of the security company is ‘too big’.
security company then ‘advised’ the player to sack the woman (who i still know) who was the housekeeper and brought their own in.
Its fuckin amazing and sounds too much like its out of a gangster movie but i was quite close to said housekeeper at the time i know it to be true.
She then started binning off all her footballer clients as just too much mither. The last straw was an city player (now ex) not paying her for over night baby sitting duties as “she was asleep” and would only pay her the £10 an hour for when she was awake, despite her sleeping at the players house
The fella that owned the security company that i mentioned , by the way not saying its the one linked to grealish, is notorious. Pm me if you want to know who, not sure where youre from but locally hes very well known.They are like a cancer that keeps spreading. These loaded people / homeowners really needs to do their homework when commissioning security companies.
Also, asking “favours” from these type of peole can prove very expensive. A mate of mine was bullied in his local. He had family connections to a big gypsy family. They (allegedly) popped over to his local and weren’t waiving peas shooters. He never had any mither in that pub again. If he hadn’t been family, he would have been paying off that debt forever more.
I think a lot of the players wives and girlfriends are very canny with the household budget, excluding their personal expenditure. My Mum was the Secretary of a cleaning company and Niall Quinn’s missus was a pain in the arse. Niall was great. I know that’s going back a long way lol.
OK but everyone from the insurance company’s clerk to the receptionist at the beauticians would have known that Jack and family had moved in. Scores of people providing furniture and fittings, craftsmen etc. Plus everyone in the local community letting their friends and family know.
I think once the player / their family have signed up to a security company they seem to be on the hook. Thinking it though, I agree with what you are saying about the Club needing to do more to advise players on security. Thst said, we’ve seen how Mendy and Walker behave during lockdowns and there are no guarantees players would take any notice.The fella that owned the security company that i mentioned , by the way not saying its the one linked to grealish, is notorious.

My best pals dad played rugby with an ex high ranking copper (sorry thats a bit ‘bloke in the pub’) who said this security company owner is gangster number 1 outside london.
Its not even a secret he owns the security company and the club (cant blame the players i dont think) should be much more forceful in advising who the players use as security.
Ffs the club have people who will go round the players house to change a light bulb, so i was gob smacked when i heard the story about the current player basically being extorted and the club seemingly helpless to assist

To be fair, back in my day, all these 'security' companies had gangsters, in the background, running the show.
Par for the course.

I think some of the players try to cut down on the number of contacts for good reason. I was as the City Academy a few years back and some playets got their boots and even designer shoes delivered there.Of course. None of us know for sure. But it seems almost certain that this was planned well in advance and executed at the first possible opportunity after they moved in.
Most certainly got information off somebody. And if I was a detective I’d definitely be interviewing the security personnel before the local nail girl.
