    "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 and reveals how ex players and foreign businessmen are prepared to circumvent the rules, to cash in on a sport that's in financial freefall."

    Anyone watching this tonight? It's on at 8pm, it could be interesting to watch. TheSun are reporting that Bryan Robson is heavily involved and clubs such as Birmingham, Sheff U, Sheff W and Leicester where all targeted as potential gold mines if they got to the premier league.

    Looking forward to watching this tonight but I do feel that the overall hype of this programme isn't really going to set a cat amongst the pigeons so to speak.

    We know football is underhand and in some ways corrupt so if an ex legend says he can help someone buy a football club; where is the shock in that?

    I'll still watch it though.
