Corrupt Managers

[Magic]

Because the Big Sam thread isn't really adequate now this is spreading through clubs and lower leagues.

Telegraph story due in next hour.

Naming names at three clubs. One has to be Pearson.

[Spoonsky]

Flash opinion poll: are these revelations a good or a bad thing?

[Magic]

Why on earth would it be a bad thing? I can't wait until the whole thing comes crashing down so bring it.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Lewis]

Waiting for football to come 'crashing down' must be what it was like being an American communist.

[Magic]

I feel like Boyd at the start of the recession. :drool:

[Magic]

Cue it being Monk and us getting -15.

[niko_cee]

It won't come crashing down.

No one is going to stop the real weasels from netting their £20m+ per summer, it'll just be Wee Davy Shitshorts losing the 0.0001% of turnover he manages to eek out through, shall we say, creative practices.

When you look at the participants is it any wonder it stinks to high heaven? I mean, heavily regulated industries are rife with backhanders, never mind football, with it's 0% effective governance, at any level.

Our latest #football4sale (https://twitter.com/hashtag/football4sale?src=hash) allegations concern Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink at QPR, Tommy Wright of Barnsley and Leeds United's Massimo Cellino



Oh fuck. :D

[Spoonsky]

Jimmy :(

[Magic]

Bloody hell Tommy Wright played for Leeds too. That's a clean sweep.

[Magic]

There are actually so many things that this could be, but my money is on the 3rd party ownership of that unicorn Adryan.

[Disco]

Ken Bates and The Mafia have both recently owned Leeds, I'm amazed they still bother with the football games to be honest.

Leeds United's Massimo Cellino is filmed offering to sell part of his club to help undercover reporters get around third party rules

:cab:

[Magic]

SSN special at 10pm.

[Reg]

Ohhh, Jimmy. If he wasn't a complete mug during his career, or after it, he should have 55k lying around like 10p coins.

:D

True. I'd love to hear any kind of detail from somebody (looking at you, Yev!) on how football will burn to the ground.

You need to give out the headline so we can copy paste it into Google to get round the paywall. Please.

edit: It's "Exclusive: Eight Premier League managers accused of taking transfer bungs"

edit2: that's yesterdays

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'll sue him to get the name turned over to me.

[Shindig]

You'd say in Korea just to hear them say that over the tannoy.

"Would Mr. HAssErbAIWNK, please enter cubicle 6 for immediate correction."

[Pleb]

Well this is stirring up quite nicely.

Southampton statement

More Daily Telegraph revelations

Southampton
Posted at 21:19

Southampton Football Club has today been made aware by the Daily Telegraph that, as part of their on-going investigation, the club's assistant first team manager Eric Black will feature as part of an article in tomorrow's paper.

The club immediately requested to be sent, by the Daily Telegraph, the details of this article, but the newspaper declined to share any further information. We have today contacted The FA and the Premier League, and intend to work closely with both bodies on this matter when the facts become clear.

Southampton Football Club is fully committed to investigating any situation that directly or indirectly relates to our club, employees or the wider community.

[Disco]

A dark day for him.

[Magic]

Wasn't he a super coach on FM?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Harry is next :drool:

All a bit boring.

All a bit boring.

After Sam, it really has all been piss and wind.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Harry's one is absolute guff. Might as well have filmed him having a piss.

[elth]

10 month investigation and your best get is that Sam Allardyce is up for a junket.

What a joke.
