Barnsley assistant manager latest to be caught in press sting.


Tommy Wright: Barnsley suspend assistant manager over alleged corruption - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37500734

Amazing how naive people are about opening up to people they have never met.

Is the Scott McGarvey, who is the agent involved in some of these meetings, the ex-Town player from the 80s?

Pocket change these days, though if Cellino at Leeds is caught up in it all I expect the figures involved to rise substantially.

Understand it's happening in other sports as well including the supposedly clean rugby union. It was suspected the Wasps manager got stung as well last night for raiding the honey jar.

For a minute I thought this was about our ex striker

This is going to turn nasty, and it's only their own fault

If you are going to do this sort of thing, common sense would keep you away from big payments that can more easily be traced. Better to have ten £5K bungs than one £50K.

Some of the accusations seem a little underwhelming given all the build up the Telegraph gave it. Perhaps there are more details to come out, but both Hasselbaink and Cellino have acknowledged the stories and are standing by what they said/did on camera. Wright seems to have done the most serious stuff though and is surely finished in the game.

The fact that this is lower tier football is important though. I suspect the DT is trying to make the point that corruption is endemic right through the pyramid, part of the culture. I suspect they are right.
