Allardyce Sacked

It's just a sad state of affairs, I really thought that with getting Big Sam I n as England manager we might have seen a new era . I do detest the tabloids even more so now . Grubby secrets , grubby stories written by grubby little men . Sometimes it's best to keep your mouth shut better not to know than know at all . Bankers bonuses  chairman's bonus's  paid millions for failure  and of course Philip Green saga .   Goes on in all walks of life , if we too were on the band wagon would we be any different?

Greedy illegitimate good riddance

Quoted from Bigdog

I got hammered for comparing him to Mike Bassett.

Bassett would have lasted longer..

So would a Rowntrees fruit pastille .

Have to say I am not too impressed with this type of journalism, but thinking about it why would the Telegraph set this sting up?

The only reasons I can come up with is that 1) Big Sam has a reputation for this & this is known in the game or 2) One of the players and/or Agent he has dealt with in the past has approached the Telegraph got a nice sum themselves and dropped him in it.

Have to say the greed of these top Footballers/Managers never cease to amaze me and I would love someone to organise a national withdrawal of our Sky sports subscriptions and see how they fare then, problem is I watch the Rugby League (a proper Premiership); golf and cricket otherwise the Premiership football would go for me.

Not sure who we will get in next as not sure how many of these supposedly top guys are not on the take one way or another. Sadly would be a foreigner & Wenger for me.

Quoted from kevikov

Agree, and just downright greedy.
National manager, £3m plus bonuses a year and he's trying shifty deals to make himself some more money.

Sad fact of football at the highest level.

It seems the more you get the more you want.Why do we put up with it. A lot of these people are that greedy they would even charge fans extortionate amounts to be shown around Stamford Bridge.Of all the managers I have known personally you would be surprised how many would be open to a bung.If I were to write a book there would be that many injunctions taken out The football fraternity are no worse than others and the vast majority are honest folk like the rest of us but one bad egg.......

Reportedly, the Telegraph have evidence of 8 former or current Premiershite managers accepting bungs as well. I don't think they just went after Allardyce alone, but he was caught up in a wider-ranging investigation. Bet the journo's couldn't believe their luck at hooking such a high-profile fish.

As for Allardyce, well personally, I'd have thought that a salary of £3 million a year would be enough to make you concentrate on the job 100% rather than looking to pocket more by jetting off to Hong Kong a few times a year to give 'advice' about football matters.

That's lost him £6 million at least, I'd have thought, and probably £12 million providing he qualified for the World Cup next time because England managers tend to be allowed to fail in two tournaments before being moved on. TotW without a doubt, probably TotY.

Allardyce said he was leaving the country for a break to reflect on what had happened, insisting he attended the hotel meeting as a favour to football agent Scott McGarvey, who he said was "down on his luck".

Poor old Scott, as good in football agency as he was in the box with the ball

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub

A man out of his time.

Incidentally, his meeting with the scammers from the Daily Telegraph was arranged by his agent, Scott McGarvey who made 60+ appearances for Town in the 80s.
