I loved one of the comments sent in to the BBC this morning - 'There's too much money and greed in football!'
Ain't that the truth!!!

Comments from the BBC website:

Further details of the Telegraph's wide-ranging investigation are published in Wednesday's edition of the paper - including a claim that eight past and present Premier League managers have been accused of receiving illicit payments for transfers.
Five of the un-named eight have denied the allegations while three are yet to comment, the paper says.
<doh>
It (the England job) might well be a 'poisoned chalice' but from this it sounds like they administer the poison themselves to a large extent <yikes>
 
Every manager in the bottom half of the PL table is under threat! Some in the top half too, that is the nature of the beast. I can't garner any sympathy as they are all rewarded rather well for success or failure.

Bah!

Just seen this on the BBC football gossip - "Neil Warnock, Steve Bruce, Harry Redknapp and former Rams boss Steve McClaren are all in the frame for the Championship club's vacancy." [HASHTAG]#willtheyneverlearn[/HASHTAG]
 
Makes me so angry. This is seen as the best league in the world. The money available here, compared to other major world leagues, is ridiculous. The fees, the wages, the amounts to agents is already obscene. I dread each days sports news at the moment. We can't go the way of the Italian League! It will totally ruin our club game.

.....There is also the chance, a massive crash and restart could give us a much better England team and recruitment from within...But that's another story.
