The court was told Downing, who now plays for Aston Villa, had trusted Elliott with all his contract negotiations at Middlesbrough, including image rights.It is alleged that Elliott committed fraud by falsely claiming Downing consented to him becoming a director of Stewart Downing Promotions Ltd, and requiring Downing to sign a two-year contract without telling him that its terms were inconsistent with an earlier contract.
Stewart Downing, 26, told York Crown Court how he discovered just £11,000 in one of his business accounts, which should have contained £600,000 to £700,000.
Didn't Sting's accountant steal millions from him without him noticing?
Is there a lower form of life than a football agent?
I'm going to offer to be Dave Woodhall's accountant. He makes Downing and Sting look like tramps.

I think he'd been reading something by Colin Tattum.

This is all a bit dull isn't it? A few grand on a kitchen, an extension etc, where is all the exciting stuff, 20k on gambowling dwarves polishing his bell end, a million on a pet unicorn?
