Allardyce secretly filmed advising 'businessmen' how to get around FA rules.... Sacked
|
|
Exclusive Telegraph investigation;
"Sam Allardyce used his position as England manager to negotiate a £400,000 deal and offered advice to businessmen on how to “get around” FA rules on player transfers, The Telegraph can disclose.
Before he had even held his first training session as England’s new head coach, Allardyce negotiated a deal with men purporting to represent a Far East firm that was hoping to profit from the Premier League’s billion-pound transfer market.
He agreed to travel to Singapore and Hong Kong as an ambassador and explained to the “businessmen” how they could circumvent Football Association rules which prohibit third parties “owning” players.
Unbeknown to Allardyce, the businessmen were undercover reporters and he was being filmed as part of a 10-month Telegraph investigation that separately unearthed widespread evidence of bribery and corruption in British football.
Over the course of two meetings, lasting four hours in total, Allardyce told the fictitious businessmen that it was “not a problem” to bypass the rules introduced by his employers in 2008.
He said he knew of certain agents who were “doing it all the time” and added: “You can still get around it. I mean obviously the big money’s here.”
During Allardyce’s meetings with the reporters he also:
Criticised his predecessor Roy Hodgson, dubbing him “Woy” and saying that he “hasn’t got the personality” for public speaking;
Said England’s players were underperforming because they had a “psychological barrier” and “can’t cope”;
Suggested that players who were not being played for their club should not be picked for England;
Described the FA decision to redevelop Wembley as “stupid”.
The issue of “third party ownership” in football has been described as “slavery”. It effectively allows companies to own a stake in a footballer. The FA led the way by banning the practice in 2008 and football’s world governing body, Fifa, followed in 2015.
Allardyce, 61, told his prospective employers it was “not a problem” to dodge the “ridiculous” rules.

Sounds like the telegraph paid him 400k quid to explain how to avoid the rules.
Sounds like the joke is on the folks writing the laws.

Calling Wayne Rooney a broken down cock gobbler was a bit harsh, Sam
If he HAS mentioned people and clubs that have broken rules he and they should be asked to explain themselves.
After the Sheff Utd thing it's POINTS DEDUCTIONS now isn't it?
