And Gibson still wasn't/isn't happy over the outcome.

He's a moany git

Yep, I thought he'd get on his high horse about us meeting with that agent representing that Boro youngster aswell but to be fair he said he doesnt have any problem with what we done regarding that.

[TheStig]

We've already been done for that anyway

Yeah doubt it's that. Which ones could it be? It isn't Kewell or Ziege (they're out of the time limit), I'm sure Lord Stevens said that it was only between English clubs, so that rules out Cisse and leaves us with some youngsters and Crouch.

I think that this journalist picked some names out a hat frankly .

Am I the only one who finds all this bungs stuff deeply uninteresting?

No interest myself what so ever mate

[Tom]

What will you say when they start handing out the punishments?

[Slim]

Don't get me wrong, I obviously don't want us to get done or anything but I just found the whole Panorama thing dull and I was really wasn't too surprised by any of it either. After the show Radio 5 Live did a phone in and some people were getting so carried away it was unreal - the whole "football has disgraced itself again" line, going on and on about bad examples being set for the kids and how football is to blame for all the ills in society; real Daily Mail readers stuff!!
I know its a serious issue, its just not my bag.

I don't think Leeds were involved at all as they weren't in the premiership during the window of investigation. There are so many inaccuracies in that report, I’d just dismiss it altogether. Having said that, I think we will probably be one of the eight clubs under further investigation due to the Cisse deal.

Only dealings within the prem mate. That counts the Cisse deal out.

Unfortunately I don't think we can seperate the game from the economics. It's not possible to just "focus on the footie" and ignore everything else. Just ask juventus fans.

A call to somebody who can be arsed - surely, the "window" of investigation is fairly small - isn't it June 04 to Jan 06? Who have we bought in this time, and which could be dodgy?

Erm, off the top of my head.... (bound to miss a few)

Cisse - £14m - Would his transfer be included? I thought it had been concluded before June 04?
Josemi - £2m - Can't imagine anything dodgy there...
Luis Garcia - £6m - Ditto, although didn't he not want to leave Barca at first...
Xabi Alonso - £10.6m - Still can't believe we landed him! Nothing dodgy surely.
Nunez - P/x - Was given to us as a kind of ironic present...
Pelligrino - Free - was released so no problems, other than with his legs...
Reina - £6m - Can't remember there being a problem?
Crouch - £7m - Rupert Lowe ringed out as much cash as possible from that one!
Carson - £750k - Leeds were offering him, so they could pay that months wages!
Sissoko - £5.6m - Snatched from under EFC noses. Brilliant. But Valencia were selling, so no problems?!?

Jan 06 - Agger and Kromkamp - but I can't imagine them being dodgy either?!?

And that's just off the top of my head...

[Tom]

Has to be within the english league....Jack Hobbs anyone?
Crouch??

[Rich]

If it's just between English clubs then that really narrows it down...

Who can it be other than the two listed by Tom?

Paul Anderson?
