Newcastle United is believed to be one of the clubs raided but the other clubs involved have yet to be named. The operation is not connected to Lord Stevens' ongoing Quest inquiry into the Premiership and was "totally independent", police said.

Too early to tell what the full sp is but i didn't even know there was a current investigation going on, not of this proportion anyway, i thought it all kind of died after the pathetic BBC documentary came out.
