Workman arrested over ‘Manchester United memorabilia buried under Manchester City store’

A man has been arrested on suspicion of blackmailing Manchester City Football Club over United memorabilia allegedly buried beneath a Blues merchandise store.

Neil Gordon, 37, who is believed to work as a floor fitter, was held after officials called in police.

Club bosses made a complaint of blackmail after claiming to have received a telephone call and a series of emails.

A demand of £3,000 was allegedly made to keep the story – and pictures – from the media.

The club was told that receipt of the payment would ensure the removal of memorabilia allegedly buried beneath floor tiles at the £1m City Store on Market Street in Manchester city centre.

It was also alleged that a ‘treasure hunt’ for United fans to locate the items had been organised over the internet.

Mr Gordon was arrested after police swooped on his home on Holstein Avenue in the Healey area of Rochdale.

He was held in police custody for questioning for almost 24 hours but was released on police bail pending further investigations. No charges have been brought. It is not known if any memorabilia has actually been placed under the floor tiles.

The M.E.N. understands that the club has no immediate plans to physically investigate the claims. But an internal inquiry into the issue is under way at the recently renamed Etihad Stadium.

In a statement, Manchester City said: "We are aware of the circumstances and are unable to comment while an internal and police investigation is under way."

A police spokesman said: "A 37-year-old man from Rochdale was arrested on suspicion of blackmail. He was questioned in police custody and has been released on police bail pending further investigation until July 21."

The City Store on Market Street was opened by Blues boss Roberto Mancini last November.

Mr Gordon declined to comment when contacted by the M.E.N.

another round of skips and pizzas ;)

Pahaha, what a tool, as if anyone is gonna be arsed enough about that story to pay up money to keep it quiet.

Typical rag logic right there. Moronic.

The most tragic publicity stunt since 'TBC YEARS'.

What a twat.

What a twat.

I've never understood this burying things under the pitch or stand ect. Who cares. Its not like I am not going to set foot in there because of one of millions of United shirts are buried under there.

They are totally obsessed with us. I love stuff like this, it throws all of that "Bitter Blue" shit right in their fuckin ugly faces.

Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs need to out their partition walls,something blue in there ill wager
