Clive Betts MP has been pretty vocal on this, that is when he's not accepting 'gifts' from McDonalds and then whining about Mcjobs in Parliament or doctoring letters to get his rent boy lover a visa, sounds like just the chap to fight your corner with honesty and integrity

Forest sign Crowe

Quote:

Jason Crowe will become Nottingham Forest's second signing of the summer with the defender set to complete his long-awaited move from Northampton.

The out-of-contract star ironed out the final details of his free transfer on a visit to the City Ground earlier this week - allowing Colin Calderwood to end his year-long pursuit of the 28-year-old.

Boro agree terms with Turkish player Tuncay Sanli. Apparantly the Turkish fans say it's the signing of the season if we get him.

I see the Leeds United Gravy Train keeps on going....

Quote:

In a Commons motion Liberal Democrat MP Phil Willis (Harrogate & Knaresborough) called for an inquiry into whether criminal activity had taken place.
He has criticised how the club went into administration with debts of £35m. A Leeds United statement said: "We challenge him to repeat his allegations outside the House of Commons and we will see him in court if he does."

So the club can afford a court case. Amazing stuff

Apparently Spurs have made a 17m offer for Darren Bent.

Its just crazy. The one person Spurs doesn't need is a striker. Unless Defoe and Mido are definitely going.

Apparently we have offered him £25 000 a week more than what your current top earner (Robbie Keane) gets

Bent turns down move to West Ham......

Quote:

Charlton striker Darren Bent has turned down a move to West Ham after the two clubs agreed a fee. "We set a valuation for Darren and West Ham were the only club prepared to meet that valuation," said Charlton chief executive Peter Varney.
"This morning we gave them permission to speak to Darren, which he did, and he has decided not to join West Ham."

Strange as West Ham were the only club prepared to meet that valuation, whatever that was.

Quote:

"West Ham have been considering a number of options in terms of a new striker for the club and will now be pursuing alternatives."

Maybe the lure of White Hart lane is too great, who knows?
Just speculating really

FIVE CLUBS NAMED IN STEVENS FINDINGS

Five Premier League clubs have been named by Lord Stevens as having breached transfer regulations.

Chelsea, Newcastle, Bolton, Middlesbrough and Portsmouth have all been named by the former Metropolitan Police commissioner in his final report to the Premier League.

The clubs are set to face a further investigation from the Football Association but it is understood that Newcastle and Bolton are viewed as the most serious miscreants.

Stevens has also expressed concern about 15 agents and third parties involved in some 17 transfers.

Stevens' report specifically lists concerns about two managers.

One is Sam Allardyce, and a conflict of interest with his former agent son Craig and Bolton Wanderers.

The other is Graeme Souness, with Stevens reporting "inconsistencies in evidence" provided by the former Newcastle manager and Kenneth Shepherd, son of Magpies chairman Freddy Shepherd.

Of the 17 transfers, four relate to Newcastle signings (Emre Belozoglu, Jean Alain Boumsong, Amady Faye, Albert Luque), four to Bolton (Ali Al-Habsi, Tal Ben Haim, Blessing Kaku, Julio Correia), three to Chelsea (Didier Drogba, Petr Cech, Michael Essien), three to Portsmouth (Collins Mbesuma, Benjani Mwaruwari, Aliou Cisse) and two to Middlesbrough (Aiyegbeni Yakubu and Fabio Rochemback) while one transfer has not been disclosed
