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
