C4 Despatches - How to Buy a Football Club

[Dedworth]

With a Select Committee looking into the state of football and growing calls for reform, an undercover investigation by Dispatches finds out who wants to own the beautiful game.

A very murky business - Sheffield United, Sir Alex Ferguson & Bryan Robson feature in this expose.

Greed :D It looks like he's been mixed up in it for years. I think further investigation is required, reminds me of the FIFA can of worms Panorama opened years ago - and this Chines/Korean fella is a chum of bin Hammam. I liked the bit from the back room of the Bangkok "Man United" bar where he was talking about removing peoples mobiles to ensure Fergies privacy at "Private Parties" ;)
