Sammy Lee in Court

[Hatch]

Sammy Lee and other senior football figures have appeared in court to face perjury charges relating to a legal battle over a £1 million transfer deal.

 

Agent Tony McGill, 56, is bringing a private prosecution against Bolton Wanderers chairman Phil Gartside and others from the club, as well as top agent Jerome Anderson and others from his SEM firm, and the ex-midfielder Gavin McCann.

 

The case surrounds a protracted legal battle over McCann's transfer from Aston Villa to Bolton Wanderers in 2007, with McGill claiming he was cut out of the deal.

 

Lee, 55, from Liverpool, and now a coach at high-flying Southampton, was manager of Bolton Wanderers at the time following a spell as part of Sven-Goran Eriksson's England coaching team.

 

No pleas were entered and the case was sent to Newcastle Crown Court where it will be heard again in a fortnight.

How many agents does it take to complete a £1m transfer... no it's not a joke but no wonder there's so much money flooding out of the game if it takes 3 to finalise a £1m transfer and then they still cut one out!!
