Newcastle UnitedJimenez acted as a football agent before being appointed as vice president (player recruitment) at Newcastle United, owing to his extensive football contacts.[3] During his time at the club, he played a key role in completing deals for Jonás Gutiérrez, Fabricio Coloccini, Ignacio González and Xisco. Signing Gutiérrez is often labeled his biggest achievement, but his other recruits were less successful. Coloccini cost £9,000,000 and was part of the team that got relegated in 2008, and Xisco cost nearly £6,000,000 but only made nine appearances for the club in five years.{{cn|date=December 2018}} Jimenez left the club after manager Kevin Keegan resigned, and the club was put up for sale. In 2010, he took over Charlton Athletic with fellow businessman Michael Slater. He is still on the board.[3] Since leaving Newcastle, Keegan has accused Jimenez of preventing midfielder Luka Modric's transfer to Newcastle. Jimenez denies the accusation, claiming that owner Mike Ashley stopped the deal. Keegan stated that Jimenez feared the player's ability to cope with the physical nature of the Premier League and did not want to take the risk. Jimenez hit back by claiming that Keegan also prevented a number of deals, such as the opportunity to sign Karim Benzema and Samir Nasri.[4] ControversyOn 20 October 2017, Jimenez won a landmark ruling against the United Kingdom's HMRC over his UK residency rights. In August 2017, Newcastle United and Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley sued Jimenez, claiming he lured Ashley into a fraudulent £3,000,000 investment in a French golf course. Jimenez vehemently denies all accusations.[5] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2008/jan/30/newsstory.newcastleunited|title=The fixer and the facts machine: unveiling Newcastle's odd couple|publisher=guardian.co.uk|accessdate=2008-07-25| location=London| first=David| last=Hytner| date=2008-01-30}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Jimenez, Tony}}2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2011/jan/05/charlton-athletic-owners|title=The troubled past of Charlton Athletic's decisive new owners|author=Matt Scott|work=the Guardian|accessdate=24 January 2015}} 3. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/who-tony-jimenez-what-role-13550271|title=Who is Tony Jimenez and what role did he play at Newcastle United?|last=Muncaster|first=Michael|date=30 August 2017|website=Chronicle Live|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=28 September 2018}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.90min.com/posts/6182118-former-newcastle-executive-tony-jimenez-claims-owner-mike-ashley-refused-to-sign-world-cup-finalist|title=Former Newcastle Executive Tony Jimenez Claims Owner Mike Ashley Refused to Sign World Cup Finalist|last=Noye-Allen|first=Rhys|date=27 September 2018|work=90 min|access-date=28 September 2018}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/business/mike-ashley-sues-trusted-friend-over-french-golf-course-1.3203254|title=Mike Ashley sues ‘trusted friend’ over French golf course|last=|first=|date=30 August 2017|work=The Irish Times|access-date=28 September 2018}} 4 : 1962 births|Living people|Spanish expatriates in the United Arab Emirates|Charlton Athletic F.C. directors and chairmen |
