import. 2 of the men who sell football. he will make a christopher samuelson, proposes another way to ensure that the identity of our criminal investor, mr. x, is concealed from the football league. we said that mister x would own 60 percent of the clubs while to minority investors would have 20 percent each the other 2 percent each step as a front for changes samuelson would create an offshore company for the 3 investors. the to minority investors would be the named shareholders under peer to own the club. while mr. x secretly retains control through a trust fund. simultaneously pride himself on the structures that he sets up these

incredibly opaque and sophisticated structures that know, investigate lawyer, government official tax fish, whatever could ever penetrate. samuelson comes up with yes, another offshore scheme to prevent the disclosure of mr. x is true identity. with center the work, i would welcome this before bonnie and i just sent it. no, it was another under this plan, mr. x controls that club through a master trust samuelson forms 20 trust. and each of the owners who exist only on paper, those 5 percent or less of a club. the master trust controlled by mr. x would kept secret from the f

l. i simply give them company all the help but they will go to them. and we'll show it to the one structure they don't notice you one get i mean i've done this thing before. i will do everything out there. we need to delete that. so you didn't see that. that's another way around the central shock.

evidently the premier league club and found a member of the world's oldest football league in 2004 a base company led by samuelson aims to by controlling stake in the club pool. greg was a director of edison at the time. bill ken, right, was chairman. i 1st met chris samuel, someone who's introduced by ken, right. as a possible investor in the 12 and suggesting that will be 13000000 being invested. they have it which i was skeptical about. i was concerned because i thought i was some of the talk and i was always something they wouldn't deliver. the funds . main investor was the russian tie cood, boris thing, garbage. i think the

we never saw any records of destruction company. there was no signs of any money, no bank statements, no bank letters, confirming funds were available. a british newspaper revealed the same gallery which was involved in the deal, the ratios, samson, off his friend keith hunter, to find the mo we knew which is not the story. so we looked at that job, but we found that we spoke into one of the most days and then she could stay there until 10. right? so let me know how about me that you know job to find the whole thing formation of the russian guys

who want to everton to the communicating with simulations for the level order was the big problem before it's rachel russel's we got a question. fortune a lovely across the face of it. making sure your plays in england in 2016, some innocent, arranged for a chinese businessman to buy one of england's oldest football clubs. installed himself as deputy chairman. the new owner said his aim was to bring back the glory days to aston villa a most important thing for the cause of promoting that chance to get the

carpet back. put the top 6 in the family i ship soon. tenisha took samuelson and senior aston villa stuff on a promotional trip to beijing raunchy and her executive assistant will bring our management team a new management team along with the manager roberto to mateo, to beijing to duck on one of the best restaurants in beijing to montana we can see we can see jamie, jamie ben, phil is samuelson, business partner. as chris, you can see k finance as well. keith winery was the clubs, chief executive. he left the club when villa ran into financial trouble. why not claimed he was forced to resign and food and aston villa?

the unit has obtained the statement that wine is prepared for an employment tribunal. he had deep concerns about charles finances. nothing was known about him that could be independently verified. my concern with the 3rd supposed a billionaire with a string of companies mister sharp did not have a grasp of basic financial modeling. during his discussions with the f, l samuelson had an advantage he would say because he also obtained the private records belonging to village chief executive. keith whiners case will find this when we suspended. it wasn't the last talk to the media because we had to get

close. see who's talking? i think if i was numbers because he was talking to me in 2018 when the club run into financial difficulties. y'all wrote to the f l pledging to make available sufficient funds to keep the club float until may the following year. but he failed to deliver the flaming problems, getting money out of china. i said, i want one way to as you approved it came one he's may not be his because he said we put that on the phone just that much of that was his own money is a question on how much of it was somebody else that's i don't know,

he said it was hip because it wasn't clear that he was a friends. i just show his friends. it was well known that aston villa under tony, we're losing large sums of money. i'm sure asked and bill of fans will be absolutely staggered to hear from you soon is accusing. tell you all being up front for somebody else. and here we have a revelation that samuelson and tony shaw have concocted this ownership structure which heights who the real owner is of asked them the livable club. and implies that we potentially don't know where the money came from. the bias, the villa which is really problematic when we have any unexplained wealth, answering the english football league or the k in general. well, job really on the call with our new lead shop in the

morning, samuelson wants to list the extra by adobe county football player and taking our undercover reported to meet the clubs on the way samuel spelled out x needs to pay. so own dobby. so we say we paid 50000000 for the 29000000 from that budget show, but they will cover the losses for the coming but talking 99000000 and they told me

that was please angie, i think that will work w zona. mel morris is a digital entrepreneur. he's invested nearly $200000000.00 of his own money in the club stadium itself. 33500 people. for the most part states, we average out about $28000.00 employees. so the way support is in the corner by pumping his own money into the club, morris's face problems, over water called the financial fair play rules. the rules are designed to create a level playing field for clubs. they prevent rich owners buying their way into the premier league or the club over spending and falling into debt. the choices were either by the financing or the book goes into the next 2 years.

i didn't want morris used a company he owned to buy job stadium, effectively buying it from himself. the football league charged with breaching the financial fair play rules. morris paid a $104000000.00 when the stadium was valued at $53000000.00, in effect, he was giving the club over $15000000.00. they spent a lot of money in the last 2 years, you know, great stadium. the tribunal rules that toby had not broken regulation over the stadium sale, thought the club was found guilty of a 2nd f f. p judge over how it calculated the value of its place and find $130000.00. to maurice,

his desire to help finance the club continues to bump up against financial fair play regulation. it may well be this could be up and pages. so my loan used to continue as part of the sale. morris is prepared to write off his loans, but says it should be done over a number of season. if he wanted to come to the transaction, the club gets my benefit. on the financial aid regulations, he wants to become a minority shareholder in order once again to get round, financial fair play room. when we talk about the deal is something we we can, we can, we can import from the football rings. i'm no longer connected. i'm. i

know that i have no more scenes proposals do not break the letter of the law from my analysis. it certainly breaks the spirit of the law, me into the club, for sale, purchase agreement, document and all that. then you will be given a proposal by mail, morris will certainly give darby county under the new ownership a financial advantage. again, clubs in a similar position. is that fair advantage? i think that would be for the hell to monitor and to choose whether or not to have charges against the club. mistaken choice, i read it in london, samuelson and hunter worn out under cover reporters to be vigilant. just in case

someone is covert the recording that conversation they have noise on the way to menu at the really with the rush. make sure that the was really interesting and you have to in samuelson, have concluded that the best way to hide mr. x is identity from the football league, is to obtain a separate passport. and we've done this many, many position. then

we just leave it to work. it will make all right. we've been a little bit differently. who just got your message. they've been changed, but i think we just changed the data onto him. samuel isn't planned to portray mister x as a victim whose rights have been violated. he was christ used to this happening in

the ministry. so we will have that in a minute to go up with the just the question was how much the cypress investment program allowed foreigners to obtain a european union passport for a $3000000.00 investment under cypriot law convicted criminals. all those facing criminal charges were bod, from receiving citizenship. me an email. spell out how much mr. x must pay to receive his passport. the passport will be issued in 8 weeks, providing the investment with 10000000 years in

cyprus are on the cover report is discovered that the additional $7000000.00 payment is not through the official scheme when there are problems a possible money to achieve these thanks. tony k links property investors with cyprus papers and ship program. so what we would do is find out who has to be spoken to be paid. the series of a neighbors greet are under cover reporters. they include a lawyer who confirms that mr. x could change his real name, forms, his new passport is issued high in his name, no name, hopeful how united states. but if you check the name, you can live without me undress. patasha specializes in the

citizenship by investment program. so we made up today the changes in since you probably know the name that would mean so be of great interest to the police and also the english football authorities. they are up against faulty, fraudulent divisions, reports and a network of enablers. seeking to pull the wool over, their eyes is different. they may be both they service. i think we do the ones that could tell me about the chinese i have and then what was the minimum which they had in the right we will manage it will just manufacture

time. but i, when, when i read the information, i need me, the evidence that i've seen here is very disturbing. samuelson is prepared to go beyond the legal position in terms of finding solution, such as false identities and false passports. he is a person but should have nothing to do with football in this country. do we do our own due diligence on this? not my answer. that will be no, we didn't. i think we will lead down the garden path. football fans should be angry about this investigation because it shows the entire own ability of the english football system to funds from g, b, surgeons, and unsuitable owners for that cloud. soon after all visits,

adobe mister ex pulled out of the sale so as not to hinder genuine buyers. we weren't married as your legit. dot com, a job advisor buy into a company led by a member of the abu dhabi, royal family offered divide the club in october 2020 samuelson and the accountants . andrew over lensky were directed. the deal fell through. i do have a title club. i got, i got to take you out of the long term prospect not as a cash cow and really invest football clubs in england's old particular place in the heart of everyone by our parts about history, heritage, community and so on. and as such, they should be protected. you've got people grown up with a clue. going to follow those that pressure about the brand and the integrity of

the job as well. hoping for the funds. not for these the she pretty going as they want to clue. they can we go from the board to board a football club fitness like like a factory or a supermarket. it's something far more important than that. it mean so much to support and going back generation without fun football? no ah ah
