Ha, Fat Sham is on his bike. For anyone that has sympathy. Don't. A lot of West Ham supporters pointed out his dodgy doings at their club with regards to getting players to switch agents.

Roll on the next suspects.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Apparently he has been sacked for breach of contract.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Another quality appointment by the Fools Association...

Actually it's the Football Asso...oh I see what you did there.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Apparently Nigel Pearson will be available soon. :D

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

No thanks old bean as l nominate you as our next England manager.:D.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Gazza is definetly open to offers at the moment...

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

10 other managers apparently. Wonder who they'll be.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Pardew, McClaren and Joe Kinnear of course. Expect Dennis Wise to appear somewhere to complete the former Newcastle boardroom.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Whilst he has been very stupid, why do "newspapers" engage in this sort of activity?

There really isn't a quality newspaper anymore.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

A Juicy story. Be fair though, people like Allardyce have gone a bit too long to not be called out on it again. No one else will do it.

Better yet. I really think the FA should consider having a season long interim manager and approaching Arsene Wenger for the permanent position. If Sam Allardyce is your best fit last time round then what's really available now? Steve Bruce, Pardew? Be serious, Pardew is probably the next guy outed for being dodgy. Can probably blame that on Newcastle undoubtedly. Famous for allowing Dennis Wise to throw his mates backhanders via Newcastle's finances. Notably signing two unknown lads for a total of 6 million with conveniently astronomical agent fees.

Sadly any decent journalism we once had has long gone Julian and that is why l never buy a newspaper anymore.

Allardyce should have never been made England manager but alas what else can you expect from the nincompoops of Soho Square.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Because if they didn't then the MP's expenses fiddles would never have come to light for a start.

The Telegraph has been running this investigation for over 10 months since being informed of the numbers of managers and agents involved, Allardyce was merely caught up in the overall investigation.
I see nobody mentioned 'Harry' in the list of possible suspects. ;)

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

The Telegraph are justified in this expose IMO. It's in the public interest if the manager of the National Team is willing to engage in dodgy dealings.

And there are plenty of decent papers left: FT, The Times, most of the broadsheet American papers.

All behind the paywall where the vast majority of people cannot access them...
