In quotes | 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.

No wonder 'arry looked a bit sheepish on BT earlier??

Unfortunately it's pointless allegations by this agent. He hasn't disclosed any names to The Telegraph and could be making any number of them up.

He has. The Telegraph just hasn't published them yet.

 

[Amo]

"He said the manager would call him and say “here’s the number”, and would then give him the details of a numbered account at a bank in Switzerland. “It was always numbered accounts,” he said. “I have opened so many Swiss bank accounts for managers that you wouldn’t believe.”

The same individual, who used to manage a high profile team, had also fixed a game, Mr Pagliara claimed. The manager’s representatives yesterday described the allegations as “completely false”. In several instances, he admitted that he had personally paid the officials “bungs” to secure deals."

'Arry
Potter.


Don't wanna go to jail fam.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Bet 3 is 'Arry.

 

[canadacelt]

No wonder 'arry looked a bit sheepish on BT earlier??

I'm suprised he opened up his mouth, that was before this news.Poor Sam was trapped,lol

 

[Shadydan]

Pulis has to be number 8

Hughes number 6

 

[Amo]

Where does it say that? I couldn't see any indication they had any names at all.

It's all in the article. In fact, the Telegraph shows transcripts and videos of three different agents, all of them, according to the Telegraph, saying the same names.

And the suggestion that The Telegraph would make up stuff like this is laughable. Especially when they've given all transcripts to the FA and the police voluntarily.

 

[Wellspurs]

He has. The Telegraph just hasn't published them yet.

Later in the week apparently?

 

[Amo]

Later in the week apparently?

Depends on legalities regarding the eight managers in the article. But they've got juice lined up for the next week or so in any case.

 

[Wellspurs]

Please let Mourinho or Wenger be involved!!

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Please let Mourinho or Wenger be involved!!

Sincerely doubt either would be tbh

 

[Col_M]

When they quote these agents there's is not a single bone in my body that thinks the actually said these things.

Wow

 

[Star_of_Davids]

Wonder if Nigel Pearson's suspension by Derby today is connected?

 

[idontgetit]

All 8 are probably Arry

 

[widmerpool]

Why is internal audit so poor in these organisations? Or are chairmen conniving?
