In the summer of 2009 County were taken over on the back of huge mineral rights granted to Swiss Commodity Holdings by the North Korean Government; rights to mine everything from gold to uranium; Sven Goran Eriksson attended at the signing ceremony in Pyongyang in June 2009; SCH were added to the Club's badge and Eriksson took over as director of football with dreams of the Premiership. It became known as "the Project" and for a few short months it made news around the World before collapsing into a pit of fraud and recrimination.

But just how close did David Beckham come to joining  County; why did Sol Campbell leave and what exactly happened at the Football League compliance meetings?

Read the new bestselling book written by the lawyer who was involved at every turn in the the amazing story: "Political Football"

I've got this at the moment. I use kindle unlimited so it's in my queue to read while I'm away on hols, or soon after I get back.

Unlimited is the way to go if you read a lot. It's saved me lots of money.

Nice write up Paul, I assume your not a Notts fan though? No worries, we still look forward to seeing your future contributions also.

do we have the author to thank for the dodgy guarantee? it seems quite ironic that someone in the know would now be making money from off the story. im just saying thats all.

I think as part of the scam team, the author should be giving the proceeds to Notts .....

Not going to happen, this should be marked as spam.

In a way I agree it is spam, I assume the author has posted it to get a few sales but having said that it is very much Notts related and I hear it's a good read.

Just when you think it could be forgotten and how much of it is made up?

It must have been a odd period, I might get myself a copy of this. I know some of the ongoings, yet I am sure it would be more revealing.

I don't know who the author is, or what role he had.

However, if he was 'in' on the scam, how low do you think someones morals have to go in order to not only be satisfied hood-winking a club and it's fans once, but to try and make more money from them after the events.

The author is Paul Fallon who I think was the lawyer who dealt with the administration period.

Think that's right, feel free to contradict me if anyone knows different.
