Russell Slade has packed in at Leyton Orient a few hours after Cardiff made an approach. Club lawyers are on it apparently.

 

Too f***ing right. I hate this s***.

 

Really they should be suing Slade as he has tendered his resignation.

They should let him look to his future now, it's only just begun.

 

:lol: fucking hell

Spain's anti-corruption prosecutor has opened a case against Real Zaragoza and Levante for alleged bribe. Zaragoza won 1-2 in the last game of the season and dramatically avoided relegation thanks to that result. Sources say that the prosecutors have traced the money and they have a solid case. Levante have been linked to other bribing scandals in these past seasons, which are also under scrutiny. The club quietly got rid of the suspected players a year ago.

Virgin Media has asked broadcast regulator Ofcom to open an investigation into the way that the Premier League sells the TV rights to its live football games.

 

The cable firm says the auction process is driving up prices for fans and causing "significant consumer harm".

 

Ofcom said it was "considering" the complaint.

 

The Premier League said its audio-visual rights had "always been sold in a transparent and open process".

 

"Regulators have examined our rights packaging and sales process in considerable detail in the past and found both of them to be compliant with UK and European competition law," it added in a statement.

 

Price rises

Earlier this year Virgin Media, owned by Liberty Global, said it did not plan to bid in the next auction.

 

However, Virgin says it is still affected because it has to pay higher prices to buy the sports channels from BSkyB and BT.

 

"UK fans pay the highest prices in Europe to watch football on TV," said Virgin Media's chief corporate affairs officer Brigitte Trafford.

 

BSkyB and BT currently share the rights to televise the Premier League football games.

 

The price for the latest rights deal - covering 2013-16 - rose 70% to £3bn when it was announced in 2012.

 

Virgin Media filed its complaint to Ofcom earlier this month.

 

Ofcom said it would take about eight weeks to consider the complaint "before deciding whether any further action is required".
