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.

EDIT: I could not have timed that worse.

Apparently he has been sacked for breach of contract.

Another quality appointment by the Fools Association...

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

**Damien** · 27-09-2016, 22:46

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

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

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

There really isn't a quality newspaper anymore.

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.

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

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.

**Damien** · 28-09-2016, 09:57

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...
