Reported 4 months ago
Southampton allegedly obtained confidential contract details about Russell Martin to secure a reduced £1.25 million deal last summer, prompting a 'tapping up' investigation by Swansea City and the Premier League. Swansea claims Martin aided Southampton in avoiding paying the full £2 million release clause, resulting in a legal battle. Despite the investigation, the Premier League is not actively pursuing the case. Martin, now the head coach of Southampton, faces allegations of breaching his contract with Swansea City.
