Can't see a thread on this, but thought there would be some interest in this upcoming 'Dispatches' investigation.

Here's the blurb from the Ch 4 site:

"With growing calls for reform, Dispatches goes undercover to investigate how ex-players and foreign businessmen circumvent the rules, to cash in on a sport that's in financial freefall."

Not sure if we'll get a mention as it looks like it might be about smaller clubs, but who knows?

Its on at 8pm next Mon, 18th.
 
Let me guess


1) Borrow a lot of money
2) Buy the club with the money
3) Put the borrowed money in the name of a holding company but use the club as collateral.
4) Make sure you are paid a tidy sum
5) Make sure you have plenty of stock relating to retro football kits. If the fans protest and start wearing these make sure you get you cut of the profits.
6) If the club goes tits up its the holding company that goes under not you.
7) If the club doesn't go tits up stand to make a tidy sum for doing fuck all.
8) If the club goes tits up walk away and start the whole process again.
 
A Rag at work yesterday was saying we were the club involved? Mind you this is the same Rag who went to City's shop to buy his Blue nephew a City football and then claimed they didn't sell them..

9) If that doesn't work, panic.
