I hadn't realised about the French connection in the earlier West Ham and Newcastle raids. They have gone quiet though, haven't they. Curious if that increases the likelier link.

Says in the article that 8 clubs are involved, but only mentions West Ham and Newcastle. I haven't heard of any others, so perhaps they are now getting around to further investigations. This could be linked to the players we've signed from France.

Even lawyers are calling it a raid.
One thing that I am questioning is how much we could actually ow.

CAn't be that much surely, even fraudulently

 

Interest account here. US & Qatar based Agent and Attorney.

 

That seems to be a news account as there is other tweets about Bairstow at the Ashes

Yeah true. Had a better look at just Oldham stories.

Almost all the stories are lifted directly from other news sources, but hardly ever credited, very strange for a lawyer to do that.

Journo in sensationalising story shock...

Don't think a journo from a massive newspaper like The Mail would gain anything for sensationalising a story about a side 17th in League One.

 

A big Premier League side, maybe, but a story about us isn't gonna get them many more hits...

Tax Woman 1: Mr Corney? We’re from the Inland Revenue.
Simon: No you’re not.
Tax Woman 2: Yes, we are.
Simon: Oh, come in then. Hello, sit over there. Ah, wolves at the door. You’ll huff, and you’ll puff, and… where’s the other one, where’s the other pig? Sorry, just met you, got off to a bad start.
Tax Woman 1: Sorry, we are a bit early.
Simon: Yes, that old one, the being early trick, mind games. I’m  shit-chatting, sorry, chit-shatting.
Tax Woman 1: I’m Monica, this is Catherine.
Catherine: Hi.
Monica: And what today is all about, it’s purely a straightforward random investigation.
Simon: OK, do you want something to eat?
Monica: No, no thanks.
Simon: I’ll check the fridge. OK we’ve got a net bag of Babybels, you can’t have those, they’re for the car, I’m driving to Harrogate. Do you want a beer?
Monica: No thanks.
Simon: That’s another old trick, spike the drink, pop you in the boot of the Lexus and dump you in the North sea. I’d tie a jack to your leg, you’d sink like a stone.
