8 (unamed) clubs are indicted and are under investigation. We'll find out in 2 months.

The mail story named: Manchester United, Newcastle, Bolton, Portsmouth and Middlesbrough.
I would say that us and chelsea are also being investigated purely on the basis of the panorama program, that leaves one club unaccounted for.

Lord Stevens' inquiry into football corruption has been extended by two months to investigate 39 transfers involving eight clubs.
The former commissioner of the Metropolitan Police examined 362 transfers which took place between 1 January 2004 and 31 January 2006.

"I have briefed all of the chairmen and chief executives of Premier League clubs," said Lord Stevens.

Ok to break this down a bit, the investigation is looking at transferes between
1 January 2004 and 31 January 2006. Stevens found 39 transfers that need to be probed further. Those 39 transfers concern eight clubs.

"These transfers were within the English game and require further detailed investigation before I can sign them off,"

So the transfers were within the game - so no players coming in from overseas. Which players have we signed within the english game between these dates?

Jack Hobbs, Zenden, Crouch....who else?

[Mumsafan]

Only kids really.
