Police took DNA swabs from the multi-millionaire and searched his home for evidence supporting the claims - a fact that Birmingham City have strenuously denied.

You'd have to think that the cops drew lots to see who wouldn't get that duty...

you wouldn;t want to go back, they are falling apart down there and all the news is bad

But I would have, as I wouldn't want to look as unproffesional as Sullivan.

They are on the slide alright, I don't think they will come straight back up this time.

Oh my sides are starting to hurt

Sports writer recieves five-figure payout from Birmingham City

Jun 23 2008

Sports writer Pat Murphy has been given a five-figure payout by Birmingham City Football Club after being injured in the “Dickensian” conditions at St Andrew’s.

The Birmingham Post columnist Murphy suffered concussion and neck and shoulder injuries falling down a ladder from a gantry above the press area after the Arsenal game in February 2006. He had been preparing a legal case, but recently settled out of court.

Murphy said he still feels the effects of the injuries he received at the match while working for BBC Radio 5 Live.

“There was an important principle involved. We were all set to go to court but after the exchange of witness statements, Birmingham City made two offers,” he said.

“I accepted the second, and I am pleased there has been a satisfactory conclusion.”

His lawyer, Adam Wilson of Russell, Jones & Walker, said he hoped the saga would be a lesson for other clubs.

“Mr Murphy had previously complained to Karren Brady [blues’ managing director] about what he described as the ‘Dickensian’ state of facilities for radio and TV reporters at the ground,” said Mr Wilson.

“In my view this was an accident waiting to happen, and the case highlighted the need for all clubs to provide safe access to their premises.”

The Football Writer’s Association said it was pleased to see the matter resolved.

National chairman Steve Bates said: “It was regrettable the situation had to result in legal proceedings being undertaken, but the FWA welcomes a solution that draws a line under this unhappy event. “As an association, the FWA is clear that all its members should be able to operate and carry out their duties in a safe environment to prevent incidents like the injury to Pat occurring.’’

A spokeswoman for Birmingham City FC said the press area had been extended since the accident occurred and the club was confident facilities were safe.

Surely the best quote has to be...

“In six months time I’m probably going to go from somebody who loves handbags and make-up to lecturing people how great football is, and did they know we’ve just sold so-and-so?"

Nice to see that although she claims to know nothing about football she seems to realise that the club she is joining is not the sort to be welcoming new players but rather saying goodbye to the existing 'stars' who have already been proven to be utter dross! It's too good.

At the moment Young is dating someone in London, but wouldn’t rule out following in her boss’s footsteps by becoming a WAG.

“Who knows?” she said.

“People are negative about WAGs – but look at Karren Brady.”

Class, her boyfriend must be really looking forward to her starting work
