I'm calling Brendan Rodgers as number 1 (allegedly and may not be my actual view)

Reckon they will all be British managers, and they will all be old boys. The likes of Pulis, Arry, Warnock, etc. I'm not saying it's them but those types of people. It may not even be big names, you know how papers like to make mountains out of mole hills. When they say Premier League experience. They could mean managed for one game in the Prem, or been an assistant.

It won't be people who've been at the top clubs.

Aren't they not allowed to name them in case it ruins the prosecution? If that is the case I'd expect all the names to be released very shortly so there are no charges brought against them & the FA can hush it up asap

So the paper doesn't get done for libel. The only evidence they have are verbal claims from a few agents

What about if the FA have instigated it all, realising that Allardyce is an oaf.While hardly reliable, the piece on him in todays Sun paints him as a Bernard Manning type character.

The only surprising thing about this is that it took so long for a journalist to bring it up.
Has been whispered about for years.

I think you'll find he was at the toppest of top clubs ;)

But I doubt (if it was him) it happened under Levy's watch.
