Off Topic The "who's a dodgy bastard" thread...

Jimmy Floyd's been named even though he has no say in transfers.

That list is just corrupt in some form or another. Not necessarily all the same form of corruption.

Sam's a twat. If Moyes has done it too... He's a twat. No one's saying he's a saint but he is our manager so people are more likely to support him than Sam who along with the FA have ruined our season. All for the sake of a game.

 

Most important thing is none of this happened at our club. That's all that matters to me. As these are historic allegations from an agent, hopefully Moyes was up to mischief at another club. Pardew could be a worry for the mags though.

 

So far as I know, Sam has made it clear from Day One that, if he was ever offered the England job, he would want to be released. The FA ruined our season by dilly-dallying, Sam did not.

On another note, Disco, he's your manager. I'm steadily moving away from this club now.

 

You make that pretty apparent in the content of your posts.

 

Worth mentioning the article that names Moyes as one of the guilty parties has been taken down.

Doesn't mean it's wrong just means it's not credible.

 

Then let's wait and see. I'm all for that.

 

Has Moyes been sacked yet?

Are they?

 

Don't pretend you're not in the minority in the Moyes out brigade. Most people are sensible and want proof first.

 

Its like Brexit won't be long before I am in the majority and you haven't seen me pretend marra.

 

I was joking Nevermind.

 

Sorry me being thick

 

Who's the dodgiest on here?
That JPF seems a shifty twat.

 

Oh oh

 

This could potentially put SAFC and Bruce in the picture. He's been round a lot of clubs since so fingers crossed he's not dragging us into it.

29 SEPTEMBER 2016 • 9:45PM
The assistant manager of a Premier League football club was filmed offering advice on giving bribes to officials at other clubs during a conversation about signing players, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.

Eric Black, who works at Southampton FC, suggested that “a couple of grand” might persuade a colleague at another club to pass on information about players to a company that wanted to represent footballers.

Naming the assistant manager of a Championship side, he said “it doesn’t take too much to get these people involved” because “they won’t have an awful lot of money”.

Football Association rules explicitly ban such payments, and state that club officials such as Mr Black should immediately report any potential breach to the FA.

On Thursday night Mr Black denied making any suggestion that football officials should be paid during transfer negotiations.

Before Southampton FC had been made aware of The Daily Telegraph’s investigation of Mr Black, the club’s chairman, Ralph Krueger, had said he was “shocked and shuddered” by this newspaper’s earlier revelations about corruption in football and had promised his club would lead the way in cleaning up the game.

City of London Police said it would be reviewing the Telegraphdossier on football, including allegations that eight current or recent Premier League managers had taken bribes, to establish whether any criminal offences had been committed.

Tommy Wright was sacked after he accepted a £5,000 cash 'bung' during a meeting with undercover Telegraph reporters CREDIT: TELEGRAPH
Tommy Wright, the assistant manager of Barnsley FC, was on Thursday sacked by the club, having earlier been suspended over this newspaper’s disclosure that he accepted a £5,000 cash “bung” during a meeting with undercover reporters.

Chris Coleman, the manager of Wales, responded to the investigation by calling for lifetime bans for anyone found guilty of corruption in football, saying: “If there is evidence against someone and they are found guilty, then get rid of them from the game and they should never be allowed back.”

Senior figures from the FA and elsewhere could now be summoned before MPs to be questioned about corruption after Damian Collins, the acting chairman of the culture, media and sport select committee, said he and his colleagues were considering whether to start an inquiry.

Eric Black during a meeting with undercover Telegraph reporters at a hotel in the New Forest CREDIT: TELEGRAPH
Mr Black, 52, met an undercover reporter on Sept 2 at a hotel in Hampshire, believing the journalist to be a representative of a Far East firm interested in breaking into English football’s billion-pound transfer market.

During the meeting, which was arranged by his long-term friend Scott McGarvey, a football agent, he suggested the pair should approach a named assistant manager at a Championship club.

Mr Black said: “You say, 'look, we’ve set up the company, we want to go big, you build up the whole thing and you would do brilliantly, then, y’know, if you get somebody, we’ll give you a couple of grand or something...’”

The undercover reporter asked Mr Black: “Did you say he’s a scout?” Mr Black replied: “He’s assistant manager.”

On Thursday night a spokesman for Mr Black said: “[Mr Black] does not recall Mr McGarvey making suggestions that football officials should be paid during transfer negotiations – this was not the purpose of the meeting so far as our client understood it. Any suggestion that he was complicit in such discussions is false.”

The spokesman said his reference to paying “a couple of grand” related to a freelance scout he suggested the Far East company should approach.

 

This happened on the 2nd of September so SAFC are not in the spotlight.

 

Aye. We didn't know if it would be historic until they published though so I wasn't to know.
