    Telegraph having exposed Allardyce, now say they have evidence of 6 other premier league managers taking bungs .... seems like this is the tip of the iceberg.

    More revelations to come out over the next few days. Watch this space.

    Where's the poll for The Usual Suspects?
    Hughes, Pulis and Pardew lead the list, for me. Allegedly...

    Was thinking of adding a poll. I'd have those three in it too.

    You wont find Wenger doing it though, he hates everything to do with money in general!

    So should we expect a massive cull of managers in the PL? I somehow doubt it. Especially if it's managers of the "good ol' boys" club. They'll find another managing job in the lower leagues.

    How many times does this needs to be demonstrated?

    Where there's ****loads of money, there's corruption.

    It's really nothing new, no great surprise either. Seems to be human nature, unfortunately.

    I dont think Klopp would do it, I guess managers who dont earn as much as the "big" managers may try it.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...ier-league-managers-took-transfer-bungs-clai/

    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.

    Too much money in the game. It has to go somewhere. It doesn't go to me. Agents are a non job. Thick bastard footballers can't negotiate their own deals. At best get a lawyer to understand the intricacies of a contract.

    Heard someone on the radio saying he's pissed off because that 400k could be used to build a pitch for kids. Naive idiot.

    Bad luck Sam...good effort but once again that was a rookie error

    Agents, journalists would get popped first by me.

    The Torygraph not naming the managers concerned and merely chucking **** around off the back of the word of one agent is telling.

    They obviously don't feel what they have is enough to protect them in the courts when faced with a libel suit, so instead print the accusations without names and therefore create the type of guessing game that's going on here.

    I reckon Manager 4 would have been a dead giveaway if they'd quoted the comment in full.

    'Is there a little coffee for me, Pino ? Great, my dog Rosie takes care of my accounts ... and can you bung her a tin of Winalot, triffic'

    the 8 could be anyone, but Redknapp, Pulis, Pardew and Ferguson are on that list for sure.
