    The Pards one is a worry. It wouldn't surprise me if there could be consequences for clubs involved in any dodgy deals

    As far as I know only one of these has actually been named by the Telegraph, your source?

    So far only one. The big fish are being named on Sunday. The worrying thing? All British.

    It will depend how much individuals in the club knew about it I think. We're left relying on the integrity of Lee Charnley and Graham Carr.

    The paper has proof of managers guilt. Proving others at clubs were complicit will be nigh on impossible as far too many additional variables.

    Well at least we can rest in the knowledge that we never signed any dud players while Pardew and Carr were here <doh>

    The British angle narrows the list!! I reckon Pards will be in there. If Moyes is then the Mackems will sit uncomfortably. I'd be surprised with him. Bruce I could see being daft enough. Pulis I'd be surprised. Hughes is a big old school so maybe. It's been mainly low key assistants etc - a few figurehead managers on Sunday could be the coup de grace.

    I'm surprised no one has headed this off at the pass and tried to get out in front of it. It just makes them all look guilty as sin

    Wasn't it the case though that Pardew didn't have control over transfers while at NUFC, if there was anything recent about him then surely it relates to Crystal Palace.

    That's a good point. I hadn't thought of that.

    Taking a good look at that list non of the names on there make me go WOW........... surely not him.

    'Arry is bound to be on any list like that and as for the rest............. all far, far to fond of themselves and just the sort to think that they are Billy Big Bollocks and can get away with anything.................. just like Fat Sam in fact.

    If they are guilty....... then tough **** on them, I hope they get exposed and banned from the game. Greedy, self serving pigs.

    Loved this article:

    FIFA 17 includes option to take a bung

    THE 2017 edition of FIFA for the Xbox has a more realistic manager mode which allows players to take bungs in Far East hotels.

    While the career mode does involve some football matches, the majority of the game involves embezzling untraceable money from shady businessman.


    Gaming expert Stephen Malley said: “Players get to control their manager as he sits in a five star hotel in Hong Kong and boasts about flouting transfer regulations and they must decide how big a back-hander they should take for signing an unheard of Brazilian striker.

    “Every now and then there’s a football match too, but the real focus is on getting incredibly rich on ilicit kick-backs and dodging undercover journalists.”

    Wayne Hayes, 11, said: “I’m still getting the hang of the game.

    “I did some excellent third party ownership deals but then I spent the next five hours in front of the Football Association’s ethics committee which was a bit of a downer.”
