Well hopefully this is a sackable offense!
Eddie and the club should distance themselves with all of this imho

We were supposed to protest against his reign, dougie was the fall guy but didn't change anything. We should still voice our anger at the mismanagement of the club albeit after the full time whistle and after we've supported Neil Lennon and the lads. Win or lose.

As per BBC News
Bolton chairman Phil Gartside and former manager Sammy Lee are among 11 parties who have been summonsed to answer perjury or fraud allegations, BBC Sport understands. Ex-Bolton player Gavin McCann and several football agents must also appear at Newcastle Magistrates' Court. The summonses relate to a civil case brought by football agent Tony McGill. Gartside faces five perjury allegations and one of fraud, relating to making "false and representational contracts". The allegations date back to June and July 2007. The case is the latest brought by McGill in a long legal battle relating to his claim that he was excluded at the last minute from the £1m deal that took McCann to Bolton from Aston Villa that summer. He has previously claimed that Bolton brought in sports agency SEM to take the job off of McGill - losing him his agent's cut of the deal.

Was Gavin McCann ever going to be worth all this bother?

5 counts of perjury and 1 of fraud
That fraud thing is not Rivaldo's contract by any chance is it Phil? Or was it Deitmar Hamman's you dodgy bent fraudster??
If Darkslime does or doesn't slither his way out of this, he'll certainly drag the good name of Bolton Wanderers through the dirt in the process

Not wanting to be the devil's advocate, but why does everyone who has commented so far on this topic presume he is guilty? The case is brought by a football agent, a profession which hardly has the most upright of reputations.

If this gets thrown out again I suggest that BWFC countersue this agent for every penny he hasn't got and put the slimey fecker out of business and homeless. Sick of hearing about it, happened years ago and has been investigated to the death by everyone from Scotland Yard to Interpol .. OK, maybe exaggerating - but never-the-less needs binning and moving on.

As a completely unbiased opinion I hope Gartside gets 5 years then they look at investigating his tax dodging chum.

I see the club statement uses the phrase "the club its officers/employees were completely vindicated ..."
I could have sworn that a judge said someone was an unreliable witness. Must have been a judge in another case describing someone unconnected with bwfc.
