    Football is broken, and is getting worse.

    Wonder who the other 8 ex/current Prem managers involved in the other accusation of taking bungs.

    The hilarity of the :bass: era worries me that we'll get a mention. Although from the last court case it appears he might not have been clever enough to hide anything.

    I enjoyed how the BBC have got Harry Redknapp's opinion on Allardyce in their coverage. If he isn't included I will be STUNNED.

    Sir Alex is a dark horse for this one as well.

    I'm stunned quite a few on social media want Rednapp as next manager, must be a favourite to be one of most implicated. Pardew could be another one.

    I'm sure they will hold off announcing Big Sam's successor until every name on the list is revealed.

    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.


    I would't be surprised if Malky is one of them.

    They've only really mentioned managers, nothing about owners from what I can see? Dyche (Maybe Malky?) was/were the only manager/s under Baz? Dyche seems quite a straight shooter so doubt he'd be involved.

    Then there's Mr Integrity...

    Realistically there is only 4 or 5 possibilities
    Hoddle, hasn't managed since Nelson lost his eye, about 13 years since he managed in the top flight - NO
    Bruce - Maybe, but no pedigree, no tactical no how - NO
    Southgate - Looking likelier by the hour. Drops Rooney and the jobs basically his
    Howe - Think it would have been him in 2 years time after Big Sam anyway. Get him in to help Southgate
    Dyche - Not sure his out of the running. Says the right things, but his football is dire

    Thats about it really. Thank god for the legacy of the premier league

    How on earth did FIFA/the FA manage to ban businesses owning players without stopping businesses owning agents and taking the slice that way?

    Honestly, you'd think they wanted third parties to milk the sport for all it's worth.

    I heard on 5 Live last night that about half a million of electrical equipment,televisions,iPads etc were left in the hotel in the last World Cup.

    Money to burn. Shameful.

    Colin has had accusations in the past of paying players extra on the basis some of it finds its way back to him.

    Because 3 million quid a year is nowhere near enough.

    Greedy mother******r – deserves everything that's coming at him.

    Yeah but he did it for his friend who 'was down on his luck'.

    So he was happy to work for dodgy strangers, I assume, to financially help his friend as opposed to just giving him money and not associate with dodgy strangers.

    Makes perfect sense Sam.

    You could give a down-on-their-luck friend 50k a year on BFS's England salary and not even notice it.

    What an absolute ***.

    Can't quite understand Lineker screaming for police involvement .... breaking FA rules isn't anything near the same as breaking the law (though I'm not saying it hasn't been)

    Does anyone care about the England national team anymore?

    Every England manager apart from Alf Ramsey has had their reputation tarnished or even ruined by being in the job. The media love to lambast the England manager historically, while overrating the talent of the English national team. Even Alf Ramsey was a failure in the 1968 Euro's, 1970 World Cup ( I mean he took off Bobby Charlton when we were winning) and then failed to qualify for the 1974 world cup when they failed to beat Poland with a 'clown' in goal.

    The point is Sam should have realised he was almost certainly going to be a failure in a footballing sense anyway as soon as he took the job.

    As for wanting the likes of Deeney to be in the England squad if you support Watford then I say forget it. I dont think hes good enough for the England team and even if he was to appear for England for a couple of games in a tournament before we are inevitably knocked out then so what?

    Next England Manager Confirmed?
    Trump to become England manager
    28-09-16
    trump425

    DONALD Trump will be unveiled as England manager this Saturday, the FA has confirmed.

    After Sam Allardyce was sacked for listing Wembley Stadium on eBay, the England squad is to become Trumpland Raiders FC.

    Trump said: “This guy Sam hasn’t got them a game in, like, four weeks. Sad. But with me they will be playing every single day. Twice on Saturdays, you better believe me. I have all the best football people, just the greatest. Ask Pele. Ask that gay-looking guy married to the singer, they’ll all tell you.”

    England players met the bullish university creator last night, with striker Wayne Rooney immediately bonding with the new manager over hair-sculpting regimes.

    The squad for next month’s qualifying match against Malta will be selected by pitting them against each other in a series of tests including running a pop-up bagel stand and launching a new type of men’s fragrance.

    Trump said: “We’re gonna go to Russia and we’re just gonna take the World Cup before a ball is kicked, I can totally make that happen.”
