Class A Drugs scandal at unnamed club...

by Royalcop » 20 Apr 2014 11:25

Apologies if this has already been mentioned elsewhere, Observer is today running a story about the police being called into a 'major' club due to recreational drug use - http://www.theguardian.com/football/201 ... major-club

GIven our problems with this kind of thing in the past (cf Halford, Byron G) don't suppose it could be us? Might explain some of the performances we've seen.

I'm going for Villa. (recent sackings seemed a bit odd)

I'm going for Man Utd-how else do you explain their enormous fall from grace this season?

Unless they took them too soon before kick off.

Depends on the interpretation of major, Reading are major compared to lower leagues but not when compared to PL. Therefore while the logical assumption is it's a top 4 type somewhere in the world it could be slack press journalism putting "spin" on it to sell copy

As major a club as Gary Flitcroft was a Premier League star.

The comments from Villa regarding the two suspended members of their staff do point quite strongly to it being Villa.

They seem to be runaway leaders for the title of Car Crash Club of the Season. I'm sure their new fit & proper, tax dodging, premature manager-firing owner will sort it out.

Recent headlines suggest this is in fact Leeds, and that's why the security cameras were put in place.
