BUNG CLAIMS ROCK CASTLEHURST

Castlehurst Football Club has been rocked by recent 'transfer bung' allegations. It is alleged that club manager Daniel 'good looking fat bastard' Baldwin has been accepting payments and lavish hospitality in exchange for taking players onto the Castlehurst books. The incidents in question have apparently been going on since the beginning of last season.

On one occasion it is alleged that Mr Baldwin accepted luxurious hospitality in the form of up to three lunch time meals at the big wok in Birmingham city centre. He was driven there in a luxury leather seated H reg Vaxhaull Cavalier and enjoyed free nights in the city's formula 1 hotel in Small Heath.

On another occasion he is alleged to have accepted a cheque for £4.75 as well as Mcdonalds money off vouchers to the value of £20! This was in exchange for taking on the ageing midfielder Dave Parker last season.

In a more recent event it wasn't Danny Baldwin but his deputy Chris Parker who accepted a 'bung' consisting of 4 fish cakes 8 pints of lager and a packet of plain crisps.

Finally there is Phil Ryan who received goods to the amount of £8 which included a Ford Escort car, which he still drives, and a Blues shirt signed by Robbie Savage.

Despite the offer of a cheque for £1 million to each Castlehurst board member, Richard Cupples has yet to be signed up this season.
