Full extent of the telegraph expose. Note the investigation took 10 months so widens the net a little on whom individuals may be.

 

The Telegraph began investigating corruption in English football last year after receiving information that specific managers, officials and agents were taking or receiving cash payments to secure player transfers. Over the coming days the Telegraph will detail how:

 

The assistant manager of a high-profile football club accepted a £5,000 cash “bung”

Ten managers were named by players’ agents as taking bribes to fix player transfers

Two well-known managers discussed becoming ambassadors for the same fictitious firm as Sam

Another high-profile manager admitted his players broke FA rules by betting on their own games but he failed to report it

A senior figure at a Premier League club helped undercover reporters to formulate a plan to bribe managers

 

 

Maybe they could get rid of the agents as well who are a huge problem

He was never in charge of a major club other than Newcastle United, where he failed. His achievements were limited to steering struggling clubs out of trouble. Laughably, he has boasted that he should have been in charge of Inter or Real Madrid. Delusions of grandeur?

 

Brilliant :lol:

SSN: Derby have requested Nigel Pearson does not take charge of tonight's match.

 

Could he be one of the managers?

Think its more to do with the fact that Derby are doing shit and he blamed the players after saturday.

 

Bruce lined up to replace him apparently.

All major news people reporting that he's been suspended, you wouldn't just be suspended because you're shit.

 

Something has gone on there.

More likely to have chinned someone than taken bribes IMO.

He made some degrading and controversial comments about the players after the match on saturday and has since argued with the chairman according to some reports that i've seen. 

 

Time will tell but I wouldn't be shocked either way.

I hope we all realise that Newcastle will be one of the clubs included in this fiasco.

 

The deals of Saviet, Ferreyra, Gonzalez, Doumbia all as bent as ever.

None of those apply to us - managers didn't have anything to do with those deals.

Why couldn't any of them relate to us? All of them could relate to us.

 

The second one, especially. Whilst this investigation has been going on for 10 months, the second one could easily refer to historic transfers by Pardew/Carr/Ashley at NUFC.
