Dozens of my colleagues were arrested and attacked today for covering anti-government demonstrations. They were accused of muck-slinging and shit-stiring.
Four people I know have been killed in the last six years for uncovering corruption and criticising the government or politicians. They were excused of shit-stiring too.
The free press do you and every citizen of the Earth an invaluable service. Muck-raking is a vital part of that service, and is, in fact, a journalistic term.
Wouldn't it be nice if Pulis was involved.......
I bet at least one (other) "old-school" English manager gets found out.
Berahino?
Smells of bullshit to me, he would've known exactly what this meeting was about, and anyone who believes this 'favour to a friend' guff is being extremely naive IMO.Big Sam's interview today, he suggests he took the meeting as a favour to his agent, who I assume would have seen a fair part of the 400k,
Just poor judgement and surrounding oneself with poor people.
The thing is of course he was involved in all this sort of stuff in the past, it's a given. I'm pretty sure he would have given it all a wide berth once he got the England job too, if he had the right sort of agent advising him.Smells of bullshit to me, he would've known exactly what this meeting was about, and anyone who believes this 'favour to a friend' guff is being extremely naive IMO.
I'm fully expecting more shit to come his way as I expect him to be one of the 8 managers involved in taking bungs.
I'm guessing here, but I'd imagine the FA already have been told this by the Telegraph, and got shot as quickly as possible.
The investigation has been going on for ten months....long before he got the England gig.The thing is of course he was involved in all this sort of stuff in the past, it's a given.

It's like the con just out of prison, if he's surrounded by other cons he'll go straight back into it. If he breaks free of them he has half a chance.

A couple of different journos were saying after yesterday's 'sting' that although he was in the wrong, what he'd done didn't warrant sacking, and to an extent I kinda agree with that.....but the speed of his exit leads me to believe the shit hasn't really hit the fan....yet.
Exactly. Are those "to catch a predator" shows entrapment? No, they're dirty deviant sods getting caught trying to act out being dirty deviants. Sam you got caught trying to be a greedy corrupt sod. No sympathy whatsoever.Sorry, but I'm not buying Allardyce's "entrapment won on this occasion" spiel. If he hadn't been corrupt and so greedy, the whole episode wouldn't have happened, and he'd still have his 'dream job'.
