Troll Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 This was the Puncheon stuff I mentioned last night, in case anyone forgot it (third tweet) Be interesting to see if Colin is involved as one of the managers Agent Dax Price said this long-serving manager would pick three trusted players and tell them he was paying them an extra £8,000 per month, on condition that they paid him £4,000 per month each.

mickthemagpie Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The manager gets £4k and the player, after tax assuming 40% rate gets £2,400. That's a good deal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I can see why players need representation, otherwise clubs would exploit them. But it drastically needs reform and transparency. A seemingly simple starting point would be some transparency around transfer fees and wages. By transparency I mean publish relevant details from a transfer/contract on premierleague.com or theFA.com. All financial figure from transfers, contract renewals, etc. should have to be reported and shared with the media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Which of Fat Sam's transfers do people think are the suspect ones? With regard to Newcastle, strikes me as somewhat odd that he signed Bolton players and was signing players he had initially planned to sign for Bolton. He was also sacked during a period where Chris Mort and his team we auditing all of the clubs accounts and business dealings. Who was that terrible defender that Allardyce signed from Rangers that we all thought was a dodgy deal at the time? Boumsong. Signed for 8m six months after he signed for Rangers on a free. tbf it was a Bosman free and before rangers offered a bigger bung he was widely rumoured to be going to Liverpool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Can't get over the reaction to all of this. Allardyce is actually being made out to be a victim in all of this, by all of these ex-pros and managers. Incredible stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably and Willie McKay was the agent. The deal may well have been iffy, I was only pointing out that he was on a free due to Bosman rules, not because his club wanted rid cos he was crap.

Aye, I never saw the problem with that he was a young, highly regarded at the time full French international being sounded out by top clubs. No different at all to Owen for example going to Real for £8m due to his contract situation, then ending here for double that with a long contract to go. He was just a bad signing, not dodgy Imo.

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 This is what happened - SBR wanted Boumsong on a free, but he went to Rangers. Then a few months later Souness signed Boumsong from Rangers for around £8m and Willie McKay was the agent. Allardyce had nothing to do with it, as Boumsong was sold when Roeder was our manager.

Anderson Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/sam-allardyce-sacking-fa-acted-8933531 As a further example, one of the leading candidates to replace Allardyce has had a colourful private life which is common knowledge amongst the national press. Should he become England manager, the justification for further scrutiny would be magnified. I fear he would be unlikely to survive the scrutiny, or the FA the further potential embarrassment. We all know who that is! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never meant it had anything to do with Allardyce and with McKay being involved that's probably how it happened. More so using Rangers to generate a cash sale, could've been us or anyone else paying up, I don't see Sourness doing more than buying a player who seemed decent and it didn't work out.

I feel he's being spoken about as if he's a virgin just been sucked in by bad people, rather than this being something he's been involved in for the entirety of his career in management. There's a reason he was targeted, he's one of the fucking guys and always has been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Come to think of it, the Boumsong deal was dodgy as f***. Surely the guy can't have impressed for Rangers in that wee spell enough to make us pay £8m, when wet could have got him for nowt four months earlier? That willie McKay was always involved with arry and dodgy goings on too. Amdy Faye will be another one too as he was linked to them all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souness was good mates with the Rangers owner and Rangers really needed the money so it was dodgy on that score straight away. Actually wasn't Souness a Rangers shareholder at the time?
