I actually saw both sides to the NOTW article.....

Yes, the Editor should be hounded out of the country for even attempting this sort of set-up, if the Police try and do this sort of thing with witnesses their evidence is thrown out, so to do it to gain sales of your newspaper is dispicable!!

Also, cant understand why Sven saw the need to travel out to Saudi to actually have this conversation?? If you werent interested you wouldnt travel, so he must have been interested in what they had to say..... makes you wonder how many other clubs/people he has been speaking to??

However, once he got there, Sven really shouldnt have said the things he said. I saw on SSN that he had contacted the players and they were all OK with his explaination of events, but the player who come off worst was poor little Micky the Barcode. Even though it was a mammoth set up, Sven did say he was only at the Geordies for the $$$!!! Wouldnt be too happy if I was one of their fans ;)
