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.”

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.

from Telegraph.

We need names ffs. NAMES. Big Sam is getting shafted and those can remain anonymous?

by RealGunner Tue Sep 27, 2016 11:05 pm

Think one manager already pulled strings so his name doesn't get mentioned

Most say its Pardew but no one knows

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Sep 27, 2016 11:05 pm

Because the agents of said managers made them not reveal the names lol.

Not sure how long that will remain the case, everyone is clearly shitting themselves.

Yeah, I mean come on, how can you fire a guy with a 100 percent win record? It's like they dont even want to win the World Cup!

by breva Wed Sep 28, 2016 2:56 am

I understand that he resigned. Good move on his part.

by Jay29 Wed Sep 28, 2016 10:06 am

Ex-FA members encouraging the current FA to wait for Wenger. Eddie Howe, Steve Bruce and Alan Pardew considered the favourites to take over at the moment.

by urbaNRoots Wed Sep 28, 2016 10:44 am

Is it even plausible to wait a year on Wenger? Don't England have qualifiers during that time?

I would like to see that though, Wilshere's/Oxlade-Chamberlain's England career will go from shit to guaranteed starters again Proud

by Kaladin Wed Sep 28, 2016 10:57 am

There's still like 10 months before the season is over, have a hard time seeing FA wait that long

by Firenze Wed Sep 28, 2016 11:07 am

Big Sam giving interviews on SKY, said he thought he was helping out a friend he had known for 30 years and unfortunately entrapment won this time Laughing

yeah that agent who gave a lot of the information (he didn't know he was being recorded by reporters) was banned for match fixing in Italy 10 years ago? said he thought that the italians were corrupt but the english are way worse Laughing

by Jay29 Wed Sep 28, 2016 11:22 am

We do have qualifiers in that time, albiet against teams we should be beating even with Southgate in charge. I don't think the FA will wait for Wenger although he's clearly a top choice for them.

It'll be Pardew or Bruce. Howe shouldn't be considered, nor should he even consider it.

Absolutely right. That would be a terrible move for such a promising young coach.

Good article indeed. Reeinforces my feeling Sam shouldn't have been sacked.
Anything that this 'undercover sting' journo reveals, the FA could and should have known before hiring the fatso.
If they didn't want a questionable idiot, why give him the job in the first place.

England's NT just can't catch a break.

I'm anticipating Mancini next.

by Jay29 Wed Sep 28, 2016 4:02 pm

It can't catch a break because it's just pure incompetency from top to bottom. Laughing

by RealGunner Wed Sep 28, 2016 5:09 pm

We need LVG but FA would rather give the job to Steve Bruce

by Firenze Wed Sep 28, 2016 5:10 pm

english managers

FA pls
