Posted July 16, 200718 yr Police have raided three football clubs as part of an investigation into alleged corruption in football. Newcastle United is believed to be one of the clubs raided but the other clubs involved have yet to be named. The operation is not connected to Lord Stevens' ongoing Quest inquiry into the Premiership and was "totally independent", police said. Search warrants were executed on the club premises and two homes between 0730 and 0900 BST. A police spokesman said: "We can confirm that search warrants were served at three football clubs and the homes of two individuals in connection with corruption in football and its impact on owners and shareholders." A Northumbria Police spokesman said they were aware that "an operation" had been carried out by their London colleagues at St James' Park, the home of Newcastle United from: bbc sport

July 16, 200718 yr This is pretty big stuff. :o I think it might be about Souness more than Big Sam tbh, or it might be about both or maybe even nothing to do with either of them at all.

July 16, 200718 yr Rangers named as team #2 so your Souness connection could well be right Rooney Souness managed Newcastle and Rangers
July 16, 200718 yr It's been confirmed on the BBC Sports site that Portsmouth and Rangers are the other two clubs that have been raided Seems that its definately to do with the bungs scandal a while back, then
July 17, 200718 yr The players this corruption thing involves are Boumsong and Faye, who were both bought from Rangers and Portsmouth so that's why those 2 clubs are involved in all this as well.
