The allegations over Defoe's move to Fratton Park were first raised by agent Sky Andrew after he was dropped by the former striker, who claimed to represent himself in the deal.
Yep, looks like you're right.

“The case was heard by an independent arbitration panel 15 years ago,” a spokeswoman for the FA said.
It's already been looked at, 15 years ago! Nothing doing then, so why would anything change?

I’d be surprised if it goes anywhere. Clubs used unlicensed agents all the time back then.
Someone is causing mischief at the Times.
No action was taken by the Football Association at the time, but it is understood the governing body are prepared to review the allegations.
Breaches of FA agent rules have previously resulted in point deductions, transfer bans, and suspensions for club officials.

My sources are telling me that the FA are reopening the Woolwich promotion to the first divison case from 1919. Apparently that Henry Norris was a right wrong un.

I'd forgotten who that was.
A detailed report from The Times claims ‘The FA has said it is prepared to review evidence of potentially serious breaches of agent rules in a transfer involving Tottenham, Portsmouth and Defoe’.
I’m going by this
Anything to take the heat off the FA actually punishing Chelsea & City

Pompey will be as happy as us to be dragged into this with them doing well in div 1.
Just got to hope Levy gets him lawyers to make it go away.

Seems they're mischievously pulling at threads here (........Why did Andrews let this matter lie for 15 years?).
A very simple part in all this is (as S.Jordan pointed out); in the player trf paperwork you have to declare the agent activity involved........ If we did so, then there's been no attempt to deceive on our part and it's up to the FA to do their diligence at the time.
It is alleged that the FA issued a banned non-agents list around this time, but there's no specific indication as to whether or not this list was issued before or after the trf in question.
Also notable....... JD, Spurs, P'mouth & the agent are all involved and by rights should be under scrutiny, but notice how it's only being framed as a Spurs scandal.
Also; the disconnect between the reporting of the FA position.... Now being reported as "FA will review the case" when their statement is that they will review "IF there's new evidence" to consider.

Yeh; I think the OP is getting Law & Lawton confused....... I did initially.
It seems 2008 is around the time that the FA tightened the net.
Sky Andrew was also Sols agent right? Proper wanker
If they are looking at Spurs for something years ago,can we look forward to Woolwich "promotion" in 1919 being scrutinised...
transfer ban potentially... Levy 100% reported himself on this.
