Overall I think this is bollocks. Why are the papers setting up position untenable stings with so little substance behind them? He shot the shit in a private conversation to some people asking about how to do a corrupt thing.

He should not expect a great deal of sympathy but in the grand scheme of managerial scandals it is certainly a few notches down from the passage in Joey Barton’s newly released autobiography about the “creative accounting” of one manager (though not one, he says, he ever played under) whose “speciality was making late substitutions on the understanding his assistant would later collect a percentage of the player’s match fee”. That manager, according to Barton, was infamous for giving homegrown players their debuts, sometimes just for a few minutes, so the academy director would collect a bonus, to be split again. The manager would re-sign players he had worked with at other clubs and take a cut from them, too – paid monthly, and invariably in cash.

Who?
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 07:28 (seven years ago) link
Redknapp surely
― poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 07:52 (seven years ago) link
I suppose so. Does he qualify as "famous for giving homegrown players their debuts"?
I was thinking Keano. Or Moyesey god knows that poor man doesn't need anything else on his plate.

they described one of them as "long-serving" which basically reveals it. are we on shaky ground discussing this speculation here?
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 09:37 (seven years ago) link
if the telegraph attempts an ilx sting this speculation will be the least of our worries surely

obv happy that allardyce sacked, not that igaf about england just for the sheer amusement but these telegraph revelations are such weak sauce. a couple of agents ran their mouths about 8 PREMIER LEAGUE!!! managers shock horror but nothing approaching proof, not even enough 'evidence' to name them. the way they and the rest of the media talk you'd think it was end of times not something that will be forgotten about by the time the next int. break is over.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, the manager of Queens Park Rangers, another Championship side, was filmed agreeing to represent the same firm by flying to the Far East to talk to investors for £55,000 a time.
He appeared open to the idea of signing players owned by the firm, despite the possibility of a conflict of interest. He told undercover reporters posing as representatives of the company: “Give me a ----ing player. A good player.”
