NOTW, what can we expect?

Here is one of the quotes from the article :

But one Croatian fan, writing an online response to a Celtic supporter who was trying to find out more about Jelavic, warned: "If they have signed his uncle Nikica Jelavic you should be worried."

Says it all really :lol:

So Healy himself has had no dealings with any paramilitary. Yet I remember reading somewhere a few years ago that Lemon was in dealings with some sort of loan shark who helped fund the IRA

If he has signed or is signing then I really don't give a fuck about anything he may have done in the past or anything his family may have done, as long as he performs on the football field and helps us win the SPL again then that's all that matters, he will also get my full support and I should hope that everyone else gives him your full support instead of some of the shite that gets printed on forums.

I would quite like to read this again Ben if you don't mind,don't be tight (tu)

Jelavic had been charged with attempting to swindle the German state out of £462,000 - the sum he had demanded as compensation for time he spent on remand in the country's Kempten nick in 2004 while accused of robbing a jewellery store.

He was cleared of the charges and brought the damages case over claims he had lost earnings while he was behind bars. But he was convicted of producing forged documents to back up his allegations that he had lost out on lucrative business deals.

The Croatian Mafia is composed of ethnic Croats and Bosnians whose underworld activities include contract killing, car theft, smuggling and the illicit trade in blood diamonds and arms.

They have strong ties with Mafia gangs in Bulgaria, Albania and ruthless gypsy gangs and are made up of the Zagreb clan, allegedly including Jelavic, and the Split drug cartel.

Before playing with Rapid Vienna, Jelavic's star nephew played in the Belgian league with Zulte Waregem.

He started his career with Croatian top-flight club Hajduk Split, where he scored 15 goals in 31 games.

But one Croatian fan, writing an online response to a Celtic supporter who was trying to find out more about Jelavic, warned: "If they have signed his uncle Nikica Jelavic you should be worried."

Googled it and found it, bumped off TalkPish. Lets face it NOTW and TalkPish have many similarities.

It was on one of the papers websites, can't remember which one.

Surely not? That would mean the 'mhedia' will print this shite regardless of the individuals background just to sell more of their rags.

CELTIC boss Neil Lennon will claim he is the victim of a £3million sting when he fights for his financial survival in court this week.

A pal told the News of the World that the Hoops boss insists he was stitched up when his signature was forged on bank documents guaranteeing a massive loan.

And this week that allegation will be at the heart of Lennon's defence case as he kicks off a mammoth court action - that could end with him facing financial ruin.

The fiery Ulsterman could lose his personal fortune if the Bank of Ireland wins its civil case against him in Dublin's High Court.

Last night our source said: "Neil's made a lot of money through football but there is an awful lot riding on this case. He has been stitched up here, pure and simple.

"Neil can't afford to lose this case - if he does, it could ruin him."

Land that was bought by Lennon and partners in Dundalk, Ireland Purchase... Bank claims Lennon guaranteed loan for the land in Dundalk

Lennon, 39, ploughed £580,000 of his own cash into a project which aimed to build and sell 61 houses on land at Knockbridge, near Dundalk, close to the Republic of Ireland's border with Northern Ireland.

A total of £3.5million was invested by Rocket Developments Ltd - set up by Lennon in 2005.

At first the footie ace had no idea his former Manchester City youth team colleague Julian Dowe, 35, was also involved in the deal.

But when the recession hit the Irish economy, demand for new homes slumped - and the value of the land plummeted.

Rocket Developments collapsed in 2009 without a single house being built on the muddy fields.

And the land is now back on the market for a mere £350,000.

The Dublin court case, which starts on Tuesday, centres on a Bank of Ireland claim that Lennon signed paperwork making him liable for a £2.7million loan to his company for the project.

But this is a claim the Parkhead gaffer vigorously denies.

And his hopes of being cleared of liability for the huge sum have been boosted by reports the Irish bank has lost the document they claim proves he guaranteed the loan.

Sources close to Lennon insist he is the innocent victim of a scam.

And his lawyers will fight to clear his name during the case, which is expected to last two weeks.

The Celtic legend has also hired one of Ireland's top barristers to recover the cash he invested.

His friend explained: "Neil is a smart guy and there's no way he'd have signed anything without knowing exactly what it meant.

"He was prepared to invest a fair bit of money into what seemed like a worthwhile business but he would never have contemplated getting in over his head.

"The implications of losing this case are extremely serious but there is no way he should be getting held responsible in the first place."

Bank of Ireland lawyers filed papers at Dublin Commercial Court last year claiming that Lennon had signed documents guaranteeing the loan at Dublin Airport in 2006.

They maintain they can prove the former Northern Ireland captain was at the air terminal on the day in question - as he had a free weekend because Celtic had been knocked out of the Scottish Cup.

The bank's main witness will be Colm McHugh, a senior business manager at their Dundalk branch. He claims Lennon was carrying his golf clubs when he arrived. He then signed the guarantee form at their office in the busy airport.

McHugh insists he told the Hoops hero that the document meant the bank was entitled to call on him to repay the loan if Rocket Developments was unable to clear the debt.

Lennon denies the claims.

Dowe quit the board of Rocket Developments in January 2007.

He has vanished since the Bank of Ireland launched its court action and could not be contacted by the News of the World this week.

...

He and Lennon met when the pair were trainees at Manchester City in the late 1980s.

But whereas Lennon went on to achieve fame and fortune playing for Leicester City and Celtic, Dowe was plagued by injury throughout a career that saw him play in the lower leagues of England, Spain, Latvia and Scotland - where he played seven games for Ayr United between 1994 and 1995.

He retired in 2004 after spells with several non-league clubs. But in October 2006, Dowe's home was one of dozens of properties across Manchester seized by the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA).

The agency claimed that Dowe committed mortgage fraud to buy the property in 2005.

The raids were part of the largest- ever investigation into IRA money laundering and mortgage fraud.

It was launched following a probe into former Provisional IRA chief of staff Thomas "Slab" Murphy.

A raid on the South Armagh home of the feared terrorist boss found records detailing £11million of properties in the Manchester area.

The houses and flats were thought to be part of an intricate laundering operation linked to the IRA. Dowe's £230,000 home and the 35 other properties were confiscated in June 2009. The ARA - set up to seize the proceeds of crime - alleged in court papers that Dowe was an associate of Murphy, 66.
