King of lies: Football's greatest con

Football's greatest con is a stranger than fiction caper – how one man took control of almost half a London bank, duped an England manager and a former Chief of Defence Intelligence and cut a trillion-dollar deal with North Korea.

After years in administration, the world’s oldest football club, Notts County, is taken over by mysterious backers. Promising Bahraini billions and a ticket to the Premier League, the biggest names in football are enticed in, led by ex-England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson. Ambitious plans… until an investigation digs into where the money is coming from. The house of cards topples - uncovering a trail of heartbreak and devastation.
