"At a football club, there's a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don't come into it. They're only there to sign cheques." - Bill Shankly
Says in the press this morning that his defence lawyer has cost him £250,000, or a couple of weeks wages
The prosecution lawyer was one of the best, hense very expensive, who paid his bill? DJing must be a very good business these days or he had help from somebody.

LIVERPOOL FC captain Steven Gerrard received more than £300,000 from public funds in the form of reimbursed legal fees following his acquittal over an affray charge.
A jury at Liverpool Crown Court acquitted Gerrard of unjustly attacking businessman Marcus McGee in the Lounge Inn, Southport, on December 29, 2008.
Gerrard admitted hitting him but denied affray, saying it was in self-defence.
Around £311,000 of Gerrard’s legal costs were repaid under rules allowing people who pay for their own lawyers and are acquitted to have their costs reimbursed, according to a report yesterday.

In both cases the Prosecution (or Defence) could have asked for the case to be heard elsewhere on the basis of getting an impartial jury. It would then have been a matter for the trial judge whether he granted the application.
