Is that the clubs internal investigation into the story that has been created by and featured entirely in the media?
My point is, by naming and shaming, the Telegraph obviously have JFH tried and found guilty. Should we trust their judgement or should we wait until the club fully investigate all the facts and they make up their minds as to whether their employee has done anything wrong. Personally, I trust the club rather than a newspaper.
Not sounding good for JFH... i think his only hope is that he's been badly treated in the edit, I doubt this will prove to be the case. Make me happy with your offer doesn't sound like a straight forward way of negotiating a fee for making a speech...
Proof that the club are taking the matter seriously and investigating all aspects. If JFH is not telling porkies, the proof should be in there somewhere.
Out and about at the moment will do a bit later and keep it simple, unless someone else gets there first.
Of course we should wait as you say. We don't have the full unedited video and audio the Club have requested (as on the new statement on the Official) or the text messages JFH has apparently given his lawyers re the setting up of the meetings.
Should be interesting, he is currently being judged on specifically chosen segments of presumably a much longer conversation. It might be he is still guilty as sin but if what is shown in the clip is the best they have his main fault would appear to be his greed, as many have already stated. When they mention the possibility of a striker he seems like he's taking it jokingly and that bit in particular looked wholly out of context to me.
I've just seen the unedited, full recording courtesy of Panamanian Eric down the Dog & Bent Harmonica and it doesn't look good for our Jimmy. He's clearly seen demanding the Telegraph reporter's recipe for lemon ice cream, as well as the use of the swivel chair in further negotiations.
I'm still waiting for someone to show me JFH's extensive career in after dinner speaking and the many events and workshops that he has been involved in and paid well for, the one on camera being 'the norm' of course....
This could be good news for someone who has a very over inflated ego (such as me)!! The more managers implicated, the more chance I can take over from Big Sam!!!
The 8 alleged managers are listed below ( not in order ) Managers on the make ... as described by agents Manager 1 Ex-Premier League manager allegedly liked “bungs” in cash or deposited in a Swiss bank account. Pagliara said: “I can call [X] now and all it is with [X] is 'How much, Pino? And will it be the same Swiss bank account?’” Manager 2 Ex-top flight manager has had “more backhanders than Wimbledon”. Pagliara said: “This is what I hate... the guy that used to need the money but he’s had so much now that all of a sudden he’s whiter than white.” Manager 3 After managing several British clubs, he was allegedly fired by one for having “his fingers in the till”. Pagliara said he would get involved if “you understand that when we do deals I have to have a carrier bag with some cash”. Manager 4 Pagliara said of this boss with Premier League experience: “We know him very, very well. We do a transfer, [X] has winked at us and said 'Yeah, I want the player. Is there a little coffee for me, Pino?’ Yeah, course there is.” Manager 5 Ex-Premier League manager who, said Pagliara, would call him and say “here’s the number”, and give him details of a Swiss account. He said: “It was always numbered accounts.” Manager 6 A former player who now manages, he allegedly likes extra money to secure deals because he is not on a big salary at his club. Pagliara said: “[X] takes a few [inaudible] because he’s not being paid big money.” Manager 7 Ex-Premier League manager is another “we can put on the payroll”. If a player was transferred for £10m, “we’ll turn round to [X] and say, listen, if you take this player we’ll look after you. OK? OK, boom.” Manager 8 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. please log in to view this image
I'd like to officially distance myself from the cartoon. I'd never encourage someone to announce their sexuality in a speech in the Far East (no matter what money was on offer).
