Does this spell the end of Big Sam in football? Can't see any club wanting to be associated with him.

by Unique Tue Sep 27, 2016 4:08 pm

I bet he gets to keep his job.

In the PL maybe, i wouldn't be surprised to see him getting jobs in Asia.

MPs are saying that if it's all true ( which is obviously is) then he has to go.

When members of parliament are getting involved i think it's obvious the FA are going to buckle under the pressure.

I'll be surprised if he stays.

I reckon Sunderland would happily re-hire him if Moyes continues to be awful. In fact a number a of PL clubs would hire him if they're slipping down the table.

This is assuming The FA actually dismiss him which I still think won't happen.

That banter when Wenger is among the 10 other managers.

That was exactly my thought. He would probably be the last person in the league to get involved in something like this, after his bitter experiences in Monaco. But the irony would be unbearable Sad

Hearing there's likely to be announcement that Allardyce has quit rather been sacked as England manager. Confirmation expected this evening.

Gareth Southgate has been offered job and wants chance to take over. If he impresses new FA chairman and key players he could get it F-T.

i thought he said he didn't want it

Apparently 8 PL managers have been taking bungs from agents Laughing

Didn't say if they are past or present mind.

According to an agent Manager taking bribes direct from players to increase their wages. Laughing

Jesus christ Laughing

Eight PL managers have taken "bungs":

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/27/exclusive-eight-premier-league-managers-took-transfer-bungs-clai/

One was described as an ex-player now managing on a smaller salary (Gary Monk, Sean Dyche? Just two who could fit off the top of my head), another was said to take more backhands than Wimbledon Laughing

by RealGunner Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:27 pm

You just know Harry Redknapp is one of them

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:27 pm

Manager 1

Ex-Premier League manager allegedly liked “bungs” in cash or deposited in a Swiss bank account. Pagliara said: “I can call [X] now and all it is with [X] is 'How much, Pino? And will it be the same Swiss bank account?’”

Manager 2

Ex-top flight manager has had “more backhanders than Wimbledon”. Pagliara said: “This is what I hate... the guy that used to need the money but he’s had so much now that all of a sudden he’s whiter than white.”

Manager 3

After managing several British clubs, he was allegedly fired by one for having “his fingers in the till”. Pagliara said he would get involved if “you understand that when we do deals I have to have a carrier bag with some cash”.

Manager 4

Pagliara said of this boss with Premier League experience: “We know him very, very well. We do a transfer, [X] has winked at us and said 'Yeah, I want the player. Is there a little coffee for me, Pino?’ Yeah, course there is.”

Manager 5

Ex-Premier League manager who, said Pagliara, would call him and say “here’s the number”, and give him details of a Swiss account. He said: “It was always numbered accounts.”

Manager 6

A former player who now manages, he allegedly likes extra money to secure deals because he is not on a big salary at his club. Pagliara said: “[X] takes a few [inaudible] because he’s not being paid big money.”

Manager 7

Ex-Premier League manager is another “we can put on the payroll”. If a player was transferred for £10m, “we’ll turn round to [X] and say, listen, if you take this player we’ll look after you. OK? OK, boom.”

Manager 8

Agent Dax Price said this long-serving manager would pick three trusted players and tell them he was paying them an extra £8,000 per month, on condition that they paid him £4,000 per month each.

Wonder if that Italian judge with a raging hard-on for Conte will implicate him in this just to drag his ass to court for banter.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:30 pm

I was just thinking about that Laughing

Bet Conte feels right at home.

by Jay29 Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:35 pm

Shoud be pointed out that the agent giving all that info is dodgy as hell. It's like that doctor who claimed to give PL players PEDs.

by Firenze Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:43 pm

always figured Bebe was signed in a similar fashion where the scout was paid off to recommended we sign Bebe or something

probably happens all the time

sounds like something Pardiola would do tbh

That's nothing for these millionaires

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:47 pm

There was always a rumor going around when Pardew was managing us that he would get paid the profit from transfers lmao.

I could definitely see him being caught up in something like that.

by RealGunner Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:53 pm

Pardew has a wikipedia essay on his controversies lol

He is as dodgy as they get

by Firenze Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:56 pm

remember the rumors going around that Pardew got the job at Newcastle because of a gambling debt he owed Mike Ashley so he was working for peanuts lmao

think it turned out to be BS, I believed it ffs

still do tbh
