Remember as well that it was a Panorama documentary about Fergie's son which caused him to fall out with the BBC. Of course, Ferguson stated that this was all nonsense, but as far as I know he never did anything such as sue the BBC. He just said they were arrogant (not an unreasonable claim) and that Alistair Campbell had written a good piece in his book about them (not the best source!).
I'm sure this sort of thing was endemic, but I doubt it is at the highest level now because they all make millions. I'm sure the odd manager at the lower end of the Premier League could be tempted, but it would be extremely surprising to me if one of the established, big name Premier League managers was involved because they're all worth tens of millions. That's what most surprises me about Allardyce, his estimated net worth is £10 million, he was on a £9 million contract, he was reportedly on exactly the same salary at Sunderland, he has other business interests, he's 61 years-old and is unlikely to go hungry, he will get other jobs in football after England is over...it is just abject greed. |

Brazil not got a clue about how the press works.
They are not going to name everyone in one hit but let the story gather it's own momentum and release new details when they see fit. They have set it all up for a big reveal on Sunday which is the traditional day for big stories. Alan ranting on about the EPL sueing the Telegraph is stupid. |

Allardyce as you say is rumoured to be worth around £10 million but he still tried dipping his greedy dirty fingers in the till trying to get more so I think you could be wrong here and some pretty big names will be in the Telegraphs keepnet.

I actually think.....no probably hope is a better thought....that this is a watershed moment for the ABBS....that's IF the Telegraph do have the proof to name the 8 managers in yesterday's report.
Alan is correct in that if they don't/can't etc then people like him and Cundy will just go on about it all being a set up with no real sbustance apart from the "entrapment" which they are moaning about. Allardyce was a strange appointment in the first place and said some odd things, especially about Rooney that say if Wenger had said them they would have denounced as piffle. This whole thing is odd....I just hope the Telegraph have other names....but is it in their interests to print even if they did. I am sure that if the Sun or Times had this info as they are part of the Murdoch empire it wouldn't see light of day as it wouldn't be wanted to be out there If they do/can print then Alan will have to backtrack and he doesn't seem the personality to do that |

Jesus Crist, Brazil is STILL banging on about "name them, name them, sue the paper if they dont name them !". They even dragged on the Stoke chairman just now, obviously for the sole purpose that he agrees with Brazil. This idiot has lost the plot (long ago I would say).

To bang on still about suing the Telegraph if they don't announce the names of the mystery eight is an indication to the state of the poor man.

You can just imagine the court case. The defendant, the Daily Telegraph, stands accused of defamation and libel for not naming the claimant in their article.

Last night Parry and Graham had a right go at Cundy who was still spouting that Allardyce should still be England boss and the Telegraph was wrong to print what Cundy called rubbish. The 2 Mikes are both ex hacks and defended the Telegraph and slagged off Cundy.
Mike Parry said to Cundy " If you think it's all a load of rubbish and irrelevant and a waste of time then why have you spent the last hour talking about it" 1-0 to Parry game over. Goldstein also thought it was all a waste and that the Telegraph should have printed all its info about bent people on 1st day ,he said " I don't know why they are spinning it out" It just goes to show that these people haven't a clue how the media works (ditto Alan B) very little mention of another poor display by ManU but they did say that Rooney "had a hand in the goal". Oh yes he did, he miskicked the ball which went over to Ibrahimovitch who headed it into the net. Well done Mourinho and Rooney. |

Oh Christ ! The agent has just been on the news saying he "made up" the story about the 8 managers on the list. Brazil will be unbearable now.
Of course, it could still be true and its just the agent backtracking as he has been threatened with liable action himself. |

I kinda thought what the agent was saying was probably what the newspaper people wanted to hear? His back-tracking says it all, it has to be remembered that if what has been said is true, it is not libellous. |

To be honest I actually agree with a lot of the anger on Talkcrap for once. The British press have not done themselves much good here, knifing Alladyce is fine but so what?
The bloke didn't do much wrong, perhaps a prat but most people in football (and the media) are prats. This story is going no where. 1. England manager sacked after one game. 2. Barnsley assistant manager Tommy Wright sacked. 3. QPR have an internal investigation into the conduct of manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on hold while they await all of the Daily Telegraph's evidence. 4. A further eight premier league managers possibly to be named in the near future in connection with taking bungs. I'd call that somewhere. I'd ban Alladyce for life from football management and the same for all the rest if found guilty of the allegations. |

Does anyone know if the info the Big Sam gave out was pretty common knowledge by the way? - Is every agent and manager thinking "f me we all know that"?
