Former Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson and local politician Derek Hatton have been charged with bribery and misconduct.
Their charges, which relate to council contracts, were revealed after a Merseyside Police investigation which focused on property developers.
I have three reviews to go for the Obs but today, after 180 of them, is my last column for OFM. So I thought I’d summarise my searing advice from the last 15 years: the wisdom, the provocations and the stupidities. Enjoy. Or grind your teeth. Your call.

@SachinNakrani 19 points, I reckon, gets you in the top 8
Bottom 8 will be less than 5 points
Pure guesswork, so feel free to laugh at me at the end of January!
@TheCenci Think there's probably a halfway house here though.
We're sustainable and win things, but equally nobody wants to look foolish (Caicedo, Zubimendi)
It's a better problem to have though than Chelsea or some other clubs. We're in good hands, but FSG are far from perfect.
If Sir Jim Ratcliffe wore 10 real £40,000 Rolex's on each arm, and they all got stolen, and he went into London every single day.
It would take him 5,000 days, 13.7 years, and 100,000 Rolex's to pay back the £4bn he has dodged in taxes.
Don’t have a problem with player rejection, especially one in which said player is staying loyal to a club he’s been at since 12. I’ve a much bigger problem with briefing elements of the press before a deal is done, then looking stupid & rudderless when it goes tits up.
Surely there is someone who can help smooth things over at this final stage
Take the sting out of things
Bring both sides together towards an amicable resolution
Someone who understands both sides...
@SachinNakrani @WeAreTheFSA Beyond concerning the narrative always seems to be 'it'll happen at some point'. Commercial tours are disruptive enough at pre season.
If the league and clubs are against more intnl games, how could they advocate domestic games abroad. Double standards if they ever pursue it.
