colin Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 It is a "friendly" arrest, a formality if you like and as no one has yet been charged with any offence, let alone convicted, it's a bit of a damp squib at the moment.
modes98 Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Following the raids at their coub last month, Sullivan and Brady have been arrested in relation to alleged football corruption. BBC "The pair were questioned in connection with allegations of false accounting and conspiracy to defraud."
Tris Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 BBC "The pair were questioned in connection with allegations of false accounting and conspiracy to defraud." I'm assuming that it's all related to conspiracy to defraud Blackburn Rovers by overcharging for damaged goods (Robbie Savage) and the false accounting bit is trying to hide the fact that they paid BRFC £5.5 million for David Dunn - because they must find that deeply embarassing.

They also asked for paying way over the odds for Dwight Yorke and Martin Taylor to be taken into consideration.

Trading in Share now suspended pending an announcement later. "Normal" if your co-Chairman and CEO have both had their collars felt for something like this. Resignations coming? A while ago, Brady was in line for some pretty heavyweight (in more than one sense- she has grown into quite a bumper) CEO positions outside football and then it all went quiet. I wondered at the time if she was not checking out clean when the potential hirers were doing their in-depth diligence.
philipl Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 The shares of the vehicle Carsen Yeung used to acquire 29% of BIG CLUB have been suspended in HK as well. No resignations and plenty of defience so far. Given the small amounts involved in the transfer, this is likely to be in the careless/stupid category unless it is a spratt to catch a mackerel.
modes98 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 BBC Update It said the police investigation was focussed on "payments to a football agent and two players dating back to 2002/2003". The club added the probe was "in relation to the payment, or possible non-payment of PAYE and National Insurance contributions". They also confirm phillip's Carson Yeung story.
philipl Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 To be fairer to Brady, she has achieved a great deal as this sympathetic profile reveals.
