    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.

    It will be folk who have been active in the market in the last ten months, so forget Arry.

    Two of the agents have said it was all bluster and they were just making it up to impress the people they were talking to.

    I reckon Bruce might be manager 6 (but I hope I am wrong).

    Gregg Dyke said he was disappointed there were no names today. He seems to totally ignore the reference to at least one solicitor intervening to delay matters. Another pointless money-for-old-rope interview from the useless sod.

    He's not active and he was on a good wedge.

    The more one thinks about this, the more it potentially explains some of Bruce's very strange transfer dealings across numerous clubs.

    Of course this isn't even alleged at the moment, it just 'fits'. I really hope he isn't involved.

    I'm disappointed but not surprised by BFS.

    I do not suspect Steve Bruce of this for one minute; great player, limited manager, genuine bloke. I would be really shocked if wrong.

    Was he on a good wedge? 20k a week would give him parity with some of our worst paid players.

    It's current or recent Premiere League managers, doesn't matter if he isn't active. I also imagine relatively he would be one of the lower paid in the league.

    Anyway, I am probably wrong...

    FFS....Tell us something we don't know. As if we didn't know that the vast majority of managers, agents and hangers-on in the game are corrupt.
    With the amount of ££££ washing around it will be a miracle if there is anyone who has turned down a bung...

    Think Allardyce is lost without Phil Brown to guide him.

    I wonder if Pearson's exit at Derby is related to this at all?
