Telegraph last night identified problems involving Sam loaning Ravel Morrison in 2014 to Cardiff.

That summary list doesn't have much detail, is much better to read the full article. For instance Manager 2 is described as a wheeler dealer.

Ten years ago now though. Souness as a manager is a long forgotten entity.

If you watch the video's released so far they've hidden the names of clubs/managers that the agents and managers (so far only Allardyce) talk about. No doubt so they can keep them for later revelations. They can back them up by simply removing the bleeps from the names. Maybe they haven't released anymore so far because everyone not actually shown in the videos directly will be doing everything they can to stop it coming out. Every article and action taken by reporters will have been closely scrutinised by Telegraph's lawyers. They have to get every word published spot on to avoid the risk of legal or criminal liability. By not getting the names it means that Telegraph lawyers are not happy for these to be published and will be kept out of the public domain.

Manager 3, sacked for having his fingers in the till would lead me to a manager who has managed in England and Wales, whose past employer was subsequently highly questioning of his transfer dealings and if they were really pissed off may have attempted to black ball him when he was close to getting another club. Sound familiar?

As things are starting to spread beyond Allardyce, thought it would be worth having an own thread for all the football scandals rather than dilute our glee at Allardyce's failure. So then, the Telegraph tonight.... Cardiff look fucked over not reporting unusual payments on Ravel Morrison....

The extended quote on the one that used to take bungs and is now whiter than white now he has money. Described as a wheeler dealer in main article. Redknapp?

If I was Allardyce I couldn't go back there with thoughts constantly thinking that he would be England manager were it not for his idiocy.

Doesn't even have the dignity to name and apologise to Roy Hodgson in that statement

It's going to be Southgate interim. No one good is available, and the FA won't risk anyone else at least while the Telegraph have days worth of material on other managers. A few results against the mighty Malta and Stunning Slovenia and he will suddenly end up with a contract up to 2018.

Has any other manager at any high level football team been sacked after 1 match?

Gross misconduct? Statement says they mutually agreed to part ways. Normally money involved with those words.

Do FA have to do a Freedom of Information? I would like to know the value of his severance package if so. Bet he still managed to pocket £2-3m in the end, not bad for a single game.

:lol

Them Chilean miners stuck underground were stuck for two days longer than Allardyce was England manager.

I seem to recall the guy appointing him retiring or something. Regardless the FA assuming he is sacked which I still haven't seen confirmed have actually done rather well from this affair.

Shame he did all that lying in court. Sack Pardew need to bring themselves back now just to remind everyone of that judge's comment on his credibility.

Having never seen a major trophy in my lifetime either for Newcastle or England, if the Telegraph have stung Pardew too it will be my finest moment in football. Is this just wishful thinking or is there a story there ? Telegraph day they have dirt on at least ten managers in England. So both.

We will find out

Having never seen a major trophy in my lifetime either for Newcastle or England, if the Telegraph have stung Pardew too it will be my finest moment in football.

My mistake for some reason his job acceptance tweet appeared in my feed. Still funny though, wanting to make us proud. Well Sam we are so proud of you and that big pile of money you nearly got yourself.

Allardyce posted a thanks to his fans on Twitter then deleted it. I just saw it. He is gone.

Can't see anything other than a fake SSN account and Piers Morgan?

Allardyce statue for Sunderland please.

Southgate to be made interim manager.
