http://news.sky.com/story/football-coach-tommy-wright-suspended-over-transfer-bung-claims-10597497 I thought I recognised the name when mentioned on Sky earlier.
Wonder if SC might be dragged into this. Some of the rumours about our attempted transfer dealings in the Summer before last sounded somewhat questionable.
It sounds like we really dodged a bullet there then !!!!! Let's hope our own reputation and credibility isn't brought into question by any of these allegations/accusations. I'm sure some of the Managers in the 70's and 80's were guilty of this sort of thing. There were plenty of rumours about the likes of Don Revie, Cloughie, Ron Atkinson, Malcolm Allison etc, and more recently about the likes of Terry Venables, George Graham and of course the king of them all, Dodgy 'Arry.

Sacking a bloke based on allegations is harsh to say the least. He may be guilty - but at least wait until he is proven before firing him.
There must be compelling evidence for Barnsley to have taken this course of action. If he's subsequently found not guilty he could sue them for an awful lot of money for wrongful dismissal and deformation of character etc. If they don't have the necessary evidence then they deserve all that's coming to them.
took £5000 as payment.... but which players the telegraph doesn't have players ... I keep looking over my shoulder as I advise people how to successfully not pay certain fines!
