The Telegraph is incredible btw. This whole thing has the potential to cause huge ripples.

 

Aye, the press have always had a huge influence - not least with the England set-up - but bringing down the England manager in 24 hours? That's on another level. And for them to have an entire portfolio, with other significant figures and names exposed doing indefensible deals, it's a serious advance in banging the gong on corruption. Especially after all the FIFA business in the last 18 months.

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.

 

Course he is. They're all part of that good ol' boys club of English football.

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.

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?

 

I'm sure he was Murray's best man!
