ITV have been filming a documentary on Maldon & Tiptree FC which they were due to start showing next Wednesday.
I say was, as it has now been delayed/cancelled following police raids on their ground, the home of their financier & his husband, plus The Swan pub in Braintree. The couple have been charged with Rape & Human Trafficking & are due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates Court today.
It will be interesting as to how many of their players/management they are able to retain for next season after winning Isthmian League One North this season. Their wages were reportedly higher than some National League South clubs.

Yeh crazy story that.
If somebody has been filming a doc they should be sitting on a goldmine of content - much better story now! |  | | |

It was a 6 part doc due to start next week, I did wonder why they were so late delivering it, makes more sense now [Post edited 8 May 11:54]

Hmmm, if you've been filming all season and missed all the raping and human trafficking that is a bit of a journalistic oversight.
We'll fix that in post... | | | |

So it could be a case of Maldon & Tiptree Laundry FC maybe?
I'm convinced that goes on much higher up the pyramid.... not just owning a club for "tax purposes" but running money through them.
One of the best books I ever read - The Football Business - skirted around this but mainly focused on the alledged dodgy Agent invoices that turned up alongside some very, very, very shadey transfers in the 90's. |  |

My mate played for Barnet when they were doing well in the football league and it was common place to be paid in cash/brown envelopes.
Maybe a hangover from the Flashman/Fry era?
Still not sure how Rueben can sustain our losses, but I guess he's spending money he would be taxed on anyway? Who knows, once you get up to the Man City/Chelsea levels those outgoings are terrifying! |  | | |

They've been remanded in custody & to appear at Chelmsford Crown Court on 5th June.
Hopefully the legal owner of the club, his son, can find the money to keep the club afloat. | | | |
