doubleo Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Just take a look at the owners of some of the Clubs - you wouldnt trust them with your life savings would you. You will never get rid of greed. Big Sam - £3 million a year - his dream job - but still can't resist making a quick buck. Then has the cheek to blame the newspaper for exposing it !

cognacbarnowl Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Doesn't it just make you feel sick to the pit of your stomach. The mega money that some of these people earn and they betray their employers, their friends and the fans for a few bob more. I hope our dealings with Watford don't fall into this category.

Hawkeye Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Given our bizarre and ludicrous transfer dealings in the late 90s and early 00s, I have often wondered if there was more to it. Doubt it's happening now, nor under Milan, given their reputation for negotiating a hard deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Why won't they release the names of the PL managers?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 It's the stuff Tommy Wright has been up to that annoys me more than Big Sam, and no one is surprised about Cellino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Did Allydace actually do anything illegal? Or did he just break rules which have no legal power? I'm a little confused if it's a police matter or not. Not read any of the newspaper articles on the grubby little story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When sky were interviewing the FA guy (Glenn something) they actually kept saying that he (Sam) hadn't broken any rules or laws. I think it just doesn't give the right image, a guy telling someone how to get round his employers rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offalyowl Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I'm irish so I don't know a whole lot about the English manager but as an outsider looking in what I don't understand is why the fa mutually agreed to let Sam go and paid him over a million to get rid when they should have sacked him and made a strong statement that this isn't going to be tolerated and whoever thinks bout doin this is in the same boat and ban them from management cause there are some good decent managers out there who only do it for the love of the game and not the money imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting paid to watch the biggest clubs in the world being feted and grovelled over. But it's not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 The thing for me is that the FA either knows this stuff is going on and has turned a blind eye, or it genuinely has no idea in which case it has been massively incompetent. Then given the current criminal investigations into FIFA and Uefa non of this comes as a surprise. The game currently stinks from top to bottom and it's time something was done. Even if that implicates our own club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardo Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I tried to explain this whole episode to my wife last night. I gave up quite quickly because I realised I didn't really understand what was really going on. We both agreed he had been a naughty boy but were also shocked that he got a million quid from the FA.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowOwl Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 As I work at the Telegraph (Don't judge me), think thats it for the Champ, the prem is yet to come. Might get some lower leagues but only as in between stories. Staggering out the news so the paper can dominate headlines for weeks, and I be they try and time everything for the weekends games. From what the rumours are, its mostly the type of characters that wouldn't surprise you e.g Cellino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, the SWFC players' betting scandal in the 60s. I do hope we haven't, and never will get involved in anything underhand again. Keep football clean! I was very pleased with the clubs when we turned down payday loan company sponsorship. I might be out on a limb here, but I wish the same could be said about betting! I don't understand how an industry which is based around making sure punters lose more money than they win has been allowed to gain such a strong foothold in football. Football's not horse racing. I wish clubs (or leagues!) weren't sponsored by daylight robbery companies. And it sours my experience of Hillsborough to find betting inside the club shop. The club shop is a great way to bring young'uns into the SWFC pack - and I don't appreciate having to explain that buying gear is okay, giving away money to a business with no return is not!

james o connor Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Are we really that naive to not think each and every club will be involved in some way. Football is rotten to the core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
