More allegations to be released tomorrow too, bet the Daily Telegraph sales this week have hit a new high.

Always been brushed under the carpet in the past, who can forget Leeds and England manager Don "Readies" or the outburst from Alan Sugar in the High Court "Cloughie likes a bung". A close look at Harry Redknapp shows a lot of doubt about him.

Football must be the most corrupt sport we have in this country if not in the world.
About time the FA stopped condoning it with their inaction, surely they must have had their suspicions that this sort of thing was going on.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Big Sam should have got himself a dog. I'm sure 'arry would have the address of a good kennels. He didn't learn all this naughty stuff at West Ham, did he Howard ? I saw 'arry play there in the sixties, makes you wonder...

I saw him play in our all conquering youth team in the 60s Baz and that great dive that got us a penalty in the last minute of extra time of a league cup semi final against Stoke city in 1971. Sadly Gordon banks mad a wonder save from Geoff Hurst. In later years he replenished his building society account even at Bournemouth. Most famously at West Ham he allowed Rio Ferdinand to be sold to Leeds for 18 million smackers and didn't ask the board for money to spend.
When the next accounts were audited there was an ex gratia payment of about a million quid to good old Harry.

I love the 'old school' managers like Shanks, Nicholson, Busby and the like,real hard men , and their successors like Sam and 'arry. Not so fond of some of these foreign chappies, although Herr Klopp has impressed me hugely, as has that Dutch bloke over the road from Anfield. I agree with Jan about the corruption, there is just so much money in the game these days, anyone inclined to earning a few extra quid must be easily tempted.
