No it's not us and the article doesn't mention Andrew Curran, Darrell Rose or Alexander Jarvis of Blackbridge Sports Limited but all very interesting just the same.
Unfazed by the client’s crimes, Samuelson gave a step-by-step guide on how he can use offshore trusts to hide the investor’s money and identity.
To hide Mr X’s conviction, Samuelson proposed using two so-called minority investors to “front” the Derby County purchase as joint shareholders of an offshore company.

Investigation proves that criminals can nearly buy an EFL club...... on 21:16 - Aug 9 by Sandyman
Who would want to sell shares to such people only to receive possibly laundered money that the government will be able to take from them?
Not only than sandyman, what a time for the EFL to be made to look like complete and utter amateurs by a sting operation of an international TV network!
Let's compare this article to what we know about Morton House, Andrew Kirk Curran, Darrell Rose and Alexander Jarvis.
I think ours would read like:
* Jarvis is a wannabee football deal-maker known as "The Amateur"
* According to leading North African finance analyst Mr Dru Gee Deala, it has been said of Jarvis that he “is a Jonah ”, a reference to his skills in cocking up the personal information of clients and inadvertently releasing it into the public domain.
* To hide Mr X’s convictions , Jarvis proposed using an unknown payroll company fronted by investor Denise Valerie Courtnell to “front” the Rochdale purchase as the shareholder of the purchasing company, Morton Rose, only to switch the shareholder of the purchasing company once the EFL test processes had been started.
* Selling shareholder would sign a “Ordinary Power of Attorney over shares” that they are holding shares for Morton House. Under this arrangement, Morton House's identity would be concealed and Morton House's directors (including the made up ones) could hide behind the existing selling shareholders getting them to do its bidding.
* Jarvis told the undercover reporters he would make sure that the criminal investor would be approved by the EFL and that the takeover was going ahead "100%".
* “I’ll come up with an idea of how we can structure it so we defeat the EFL. I can pressure the football league,” he told the Daily Telegraph's undercover reporters. “We’ll manage it. We’ll just manufacture it.”
* Jarvis took the reporters to Rochdale in May , where they met David Bottomley, who claimed to represent the majority owner of the club, to discuss a new training ground, suggesting that Bottomley be given the CEO for the remainder of his natural lifetime and a knighthood for his services to football.
* During a meeting with the Daily Telegraph's undercover reporters, Jarvis confirmed that he was now willing to pay up to £10,000 to obtain the details of the pesky Rochdale supporters who were stopping Morton House getting anywhere close to 50% of shares.
* Nicholas Craig the EFL lawyer said "Whilst we take every case on its merits, the AlJazeera sting on the EFL has opened our eyes to the cretinous and fraudulent application from a bunch of chancers who were David Bottomley's fourth choice option. Andy Curran has thrown his rattle out of the Rolls Royce Cullinan and called me a "pansy" - something he attributed to his love of Gardener's World and it was in no way homophobic."
* Law firms acting for the shareholders who were stupid enough to be caught by this money laundering sting and those acting for Jarvis, Curran and Rose were unavailable for comment but the Met Police's anti-corruption arms noted that all parties should expect a raid by a lady called "Dawn".
George Bernard Shaw had it right:
"He who can does; he who cannot, teaches."

A "must watch" investigation given our Curran(t) situation. The EFL really does need to sort itself out on the question of rogue / hostile takeovers, starting with our club.

Hopefully the HMRC fraud and Criminal avoidance unit is now investigating Morton House Management and the directors, they have the information to do so, and after all the company sticks worse then the local sewage farm. We must encourage our local MP's to put pressure on the HMRC to do so.
Based on the information unearthed by a number of brilliant Dale fans and the TV investigation into how criminals takeover football clubs, I cannot see how the EFL could ever deemed Rose and Curran as fit and proper people to take over the Dale,

Sir Tony Lloyd M.P., should be encouraged to raise this matter at Prime Ministers Questions as the criminality could affect any of 72 other EFL clubs anywhere in the country. It is a national issue.
If he can be persuaded to do that (and Mr. Speaker - a man from Chorley, who supports his local club is likely to be 'sympathetic' in this regard) then this will get the maximum publicity on all media outlets, not only here,but worldwide.
We should all be getting Al-Jazeerah up to speed with Dale and the current situation.

Almost certain that the interested parties will be on various watchlists now that the EFL have named them as will the possible selling shareholders.
When the EFL writes a statement that says "The EFL continues to work with Rochdale AFC, Morton House Mgt and First Form Construction Limited alongside a number of other individuals in relation to applications under the EFL’s Owners’ and Directors‘ Test."
Most people went WHO? And then skipped to Google and searched "Morton House Mgt and First Form Construction Limited"
Be honest. Morton House is a brand that no one has heard of.
They don't sponsor anything, they don't do anything, they don't plan anything.
If someone had said that the owner of Gymshark had suddenly wanted to buy a football club it would make more sense. And Gymshark are a properly run, profitable business.
Rose and Curran on the other hand are reclusive. They've worked really hard at keeping all of their business over a number of years on the QT and well under the radar.
Not now.
Various agencies are, as we speak, trying to work out why they know so little about two men who appeared in the Daily Telegraph!

There are so many similarities between the TV programme and our circumstances , especially the stuff about absentee directors ( who own the money) and those who appear as directors at companies house. Its amazing how many apparently random people appear as company directors for a short period of time and are never seen again as the shareholdings are regularly churned. You wonder if a Keith Hunter lives in Woodford Green, guess what, there is a Keith Lindsay Hunter living there and a former Policeman at that, what were the chances? https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/may/23/three-arrested-met-police-corruption
