Guest Posted 26 September 2016 Posted 26 September 2016 tbh, what he said about rooney doing whatever he wants, still bothers me more than any of this.

Vacamion Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 This held true even before the Telegraph story broke:

Mike Oxlong Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 We knew he had incredibly poor judgment when he didn't play Danny.
AjcW Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 I'm surprised at the stick the Journo's are getting on here and on twitter... I mean it's nice to see some real journalism for a change, and not just clickbait and stories about celebs! Yes, it's sneaky, but good, people like this should be exposed for who they are no matter what it takes. The fact is the only way they'd have bothered setting him up is if they knew he had meetings like that all the time, otherwise he'd be dead suspicious!
Trav Le Bleu Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Am I the only person who thinks that leaving Big Sam in the job is what will seriously damage the England team?
foxy boxing Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 so the knives are out to get him already, that didn't take long. be honest how many of us if we were offered a brown envelope wouldn't take it. it's the part and parcel of the game we don't see so when we do it horrifies us

Is there no limit to the greed of people? Like others it looks like his credibility's shot and his position's untenable. The question now is how much deeper do the roots of corruption go in football? . Everyone's had their suspicions I imagine but with all the other revelations planned by the newspaper I can only believe the investigations will go ever deeper and perhaps become even more serious. People! You do wonder at what's missing in their make-up a lot of the time. They make so many bad choices, consciously compromise their bodily wellbeing, steep themselves in debt with material things to keep up appearances, can be tempted to do virtually anything if the reward's good enough, so often have a built-in self-destruct button and stand for absolutely nothing by way of principles if the alternative suits them better. And it's not just the poor and destitute that are so destructively flawed. Even the richest, most respected people do the (seemingly) daftest/riskiest things even when they're virtually certain to come a cropper. And no I'm not just talking about others. I could tick some of those boxes myself over the years - and perhaps a few more as well. I just wonder if, deep down, there's a valid reason for it. That it's the way many people answer an inbuilt psychological demand to keep stretching the boundaries and to hell with the consequences. Why else would people risk losing so much? It surely can't all be down to a lack of awareness.

It surely can't all be down to a lack of awareness. I don't know if there is a valid reason for it, but it does seem that to get to the top you have to have that sort of mindset to start with. You cut a few corners bend a few rules get away with it, benefit from it, enjoy it and succeed by doing it. Then the path to get to the next level becomes harder, you need to push harder and look for short cuts and then you get caught out. It is no surprise Sam is dodgy, there have been rumours about him floating around for years. What is a surprise is that the FA took that risk on him knowing he had a dodgy rep in the past. They probably covered there asses with a clause in the contract, and to be honest after his comments about Rooney he can do one in my books. Bye bye big Sam, you fvcked up your dream job for a bit of cash, well done, hope it makes you happy.
Tuna Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 So lets look at potential replacements...from Big Sam to Big Steve?

davieG Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Shakespeare to take temporary control maybe? Not so sure that'll be helpful for us if it happened.
Nick Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Oh Sam, you silly fella. Really worrying for him...... Just when he'd got his dream role, he goes and blows it before it's begun. At least the next fella might have the strength to drop Rooney - give it six weeks and we could probably get Jose to do it.
Wymsey Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Anyone who thinks it's just Allardyce at the FA doing all the dirty work need to think harder.

We take it for granted that its part and parcel of the game... Thats why we need these snidey slimey journalists.In sports, politics In life...They may well not be doing it for the worlds well being, but just to create the headlines stories it creates....but revealing such views through the windows of High or low level corruption sort of makes us believe in redemption and a certain ballance can be held. We shouldnt just keep sitting back and be content in accepting "well its just the done thing" I have been in that situation of being able to accept That brown envelope/ actually parcel, not only me but many other youngsters around the Uk at the time, turned it down and reported it not only internally but to police authorities, with the then small but great coaches support. Youths that didnt really know each other, only seen each other at meets/games/competitions Still shouted loud enough, to bring some protection against pushy then respected people from within.Who tryed to take advantage. Sadly every generation is confronted with new generation arseholes... When these bozos find the holes and success, its a damnation upon our society of finding the easyway...the easy buck, enticing and recruiting through their new found victims who then are so entwined they become the entrapper and offenders themselves. At the time it Wasnt that news worthy, if done now and revealed, thankfully it would be explosive in the 2 youth sports I was Involved in. Some of the journalist might be the weasels we love to hate, but thank god they continue their cunning somewhat agravating trade. Use a thief to catch a thief.....then again Unfortunately it works both ways.
Jon the Hat Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Right! Times reporting he is going to be sacked. So who next? Please god not Pardew or Bruce. I don't see any English candidates, they dont have the nous. If I had to pick one it would be Gary Neville.

Facecloth Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 **** it, let Pardew have a go, can't get much worse than the last few years.
RowlattsFox Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Its going to be Southgate eventually. Might as well just let him fail and get it out of the way now.

You cant blame the youngsters on the street trying to look for a quick buck, there aint an honest guy on the streets, in the office, in politics or on the promi/ celebraty grapevine one can look upto... forget morals and being honest. Full sail ahead and let the best pirates prepare the planks for Les Miserables and the dumb bosos like us... Spot on. The moral values in this country are pretty much long gone which is actually very sad. For all the completely twattish management of the international team by Hodgson at two successive tournaments, I think he was probably a 'decent and genuine fella' Oh no, hold on...Didn't he do a post resignation interview where he said he didn't know why he was there? Ah.. fook him too There ain't a good one amongst em
