West Ham's new home could be known as the Tesco Stadium after it emerged the supermarket giant is poised to join the race to secure the renaming rights for the Olympic Stadium.

What a fitting tribute to the magnificent 2012 Olympic games that raised sport out of the gutter and back to the heights, if only for a short time. The Tesco Stadium. It really does conjure up visions of those great sporting moments.

What an idiot. Bit scummy of the journo as well though.

A bit but Fat Sam has a tendency for this sort of behaviour. I imagine it more him being drunk and trying to blow smoke up his own arsehole rather than anything more sinister and nefarious. Do you remember when the BBC (Panoroma) got some undercover video of him discussing transfer bungs which led him to boycott MoTD interviews for a while? :lol:

You'd have thought he'd have learnt by now especially in a more high profile role such as the England manager.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger found the need to say this:


'It is too damageable and too heavy as a story, you have to let Sam Allardyce defend himself and I just hope he will clear his name.
'Nothing is proven. At the moment it is only suggestions. We have to be careful, we live in a society that is very quick to accuse people.
'Sam Allardyce as well, until they have done something wrong (they shouldn't be treated as guilty).'

Just once in a while, he needs to shut up. Isn't this the last thing he wants to be focusing on? Surely?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Calm down NQ. :lol:

He (and Theo as well) got asked about it by journos at the pre match press conference this afternoon for the Basle game, what with it being the biggest football story of the day. He didn't go out of his way to comment on it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Or, better still, why isn't Wenger at UEFA or the FA, cleaning that shithole out? I don't like him as a manager but I've never suspected he's on the make like some very obvious candidates. He'd be much more effective in an administrative role. And it would suit the profile. Changes the English game, goes on to change the European game. It's really silly he's still hanging around with us.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

No this is just a media honey trap in the mould of the fake sheikh

This kind of thing doesn't expose systemic corruption, it exposes human frailty. People at the end of the day only do what they think they can get away with, and if the FA were convinced that Allardyce was the right man for the job they should have kept him.

The whole thing was a fabrication, it's not like Don Revie where he was in bed with Arab interests

It sounds more like they didn't like his comments about Woy and Wembley.

I don't have any particular sadness for Fat Sam, I don't think he should have been manager in the first place purely for football reasons alone. To me it strikes more as a media that will look for any opportunity to undermine the national team but then be the first ones to ask "why has it all gone wrong?".

In essence sure, remove the nefarious elements from the game, not going to argue with that but I don't think labelling this as being that automatically is really going to help achieve that long term.

It was a 10 month investigation that was on bribery and corruption according to the report. Fat Sam hadn't even had a training session with England when caught on camera. It would have been a big story to catch a Prem manager in on the act and they have just got lucky with his appointment if they heard he was dirty. I don't think they were out to get the England manager. It looks more like good timing.

:popcorn:


In light of the news of their findings, the Daily Telegraph has said it will pass transcripts to the FA and will also hand over information to the police.

The newspaper also revealed it had contacted all of the managers named by the agents and that five of them had responded with denials of taking bungs while three had not responded.

They have also reported that later this week it will disclose the name of an assistant manager at a leading club who was filmed accepting a £5,000 cash payment from undercover reporters posing as representatives of a Far Eastern firm that was seeking to invest in players.

I hope they don't intend to leave it in the hands of the FA and the police without naming names themselves. It will be one big cover-up with a couple of scapegoats thrown to the hounds if that happens. Details of EVERYONE involved in this need to be made public because it's only when things become public that the authorities act.

[Niall_Quinn]

The FA will approach Arsene Wenger again as they seek a permanent replacement for disgraced former England manager Sam Allardyce.

Wenger's contract with Arsenal expires at the end of the season, and with Gareth Southgate placed in caretaker charge of England for the four games against Malta, Slovenia, Scotland and Spain, the FA would look to appoint the Frenchman at the conclusion of his deal.

However, they might struggle to do so. Sportsmail understands Arsenal are hopeful of agreeing a contract extension with Wenger.

Surely this is the ideal moment? See out the contract (and why not win a title while you are at it FFS!), take up the England job. Perfect for everyone except the beancounters in the Arsenal boardroom. Which is perfect for everyone.

I keep agreeing with you! I wish they would name and shame, but they have to make sure they aren't be libelous. With Fat Sam, it was plain for all to see. Fat Sam saying that entrapment has won, no your greed has lost it for you.

[Niall_Quinn]

Allardyce was handed a £1million pay-off as he lost his job after just 67 days and one game – the shortest-ever reign of a permanent England manager.

That's £15K A DAY! For being corrupt.

Sure pays to be an honest mug in this world.

And the fat crook's reaction to it all?


The 61-year-old is flying out to his Spanish home near Benidorm, which he named 'Big Sam's Villa', to 'chill out' and 'reflect' but insisted: 'I'll never quit football'.
He admitted he had made 'an error of judgment and I have paid the consequences', adding: 'Entrapment has won'.

Hallmark of a con artist. They never accept responsibility. Instead they try to blame the people who caught them. Entrapment :haha:

If you don't want to be trapped for taking bungs then maybe don't take bungs. Just a fucking idea.

That's the trouble with the law. It is there to protect those with cash and dump all over those without it. So libellous, in this case, will likely mean - can't afford a better lawyer. We'll see assistant managers getting crucified and the big-time, multi-millionaires walking through the rain drops without getting the slightest bit wet. I mean why would you even meet with one of these far east operations? There's plenty in the public domain that shows in no uncertain terms what these shady gangs are all about. Ferguson and Robson were up to their necks in this sort of stuff too. But they are still held in esteem and they'd have a lawyer on your case fast if you said otherwise.

EDIT: Bryan Robson of course, not Bobby Robson.

I'm hoping he is smarter than to get caught up in that guaranteed fuck up of a job. Leave Arsenal and retire. Why take the hassle of managing a team that will only tarnish your career? Leave well alone Arsene.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wayne Rooney will remain as England captain under caretaker boss Gareth Southgate.

The Under 21 manager has spoken to Rooney, 30, and assured the striker he will keep the armband.

Southgate, who was appointed for at least four matches following Sam Allardyce's departure on Tuesday, sought the advice of coaching staff, who described Rooney as the outstanding leader within the England team.

First thing each of them has to do when they arrive - guarantee Rooney's place. After that, a call to Martin Samuel for instructions on the remainder of the team.

How about Joey Barton? Why is he never mentioned? Or Vinnie Jones? Or the bloke down the chip shop who's salt of the earth?

[Niall_Quinn]

Sam Allardyce sent England's players a signed postcard declaring 'our journey has begun' to congratulate them on the World Cup qualifying win over Slovakia.

But the surprised Three Lions squad only received the note after the disgraced boss had been sacked by the Football Association following damaging revelations in a newspaper sting.

Allardyce was removed from his job as national boss on Tuesday - the same day the postcard was sent out - after it emerged he used his position to explore the possibility of earning extra money while also handing out advice on how to get around FA transfer rules on third party ownership.

Will he send a follow-up - "We have reached our final destination."

I think I see where the Pie Man is going with this.

Rooney for England Manager?

No wait, bear with me. Surely there's an advantage to appointing a complete flop who can consistently put in shit performances and get paid a fortune for doing so? Isn't that the very definition of the England manager's job? And when you are already loved (not necessarily in a sexual way, but that's okay too) then wouldn't the media finally be behind the manager come what may, no matter what the outcome? And we'd get that consistency and longevity we've been missing. I can easily see Wazza in the job for 30 years without so much as a whimper from the press, regardless of how much humiliation was added to the album.

But perhaps too soon. Shrek is still a world class player after all. Isn't he?

[Letters]

Never really bought this idea of the manager having to be English. I guess that's the ideal but he's not out there kicking the ball, so long as the players are English I don't care as much about the rest of the supporting cast.

[Niall_Quinn]

They need a guy with enough balls to point to somebody like Joe Hart and say he's shit. And enough balls to stick two fingers up at the media when their little darlings are called out and dumped. In other words, not Gareth Southgate.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Guidolin unsurprisingly sacked as Swans manager - Bob Bradley takes over.

It's unsurprising in the sense that there were murmurings for a few weeks that Guidolin was on borrowed time but it is utterly bizarre considering their results and performances so far.

They've only really had one bad result and that was losing to Hull. All their other losses were against teams they were expected to lose to: , Southampton away, Man City and Liverpool. And for the latter, they were incredibly unlucky with a terrible pelanty decision and dodgy finishing. They took points against Chelsea and have had some good performances.

Anyway, just hope that Bradley doesn't begin his honeymoon period against us.

[Kano]

That's what I meant, especially as he said a couple weeks back he was on the verge of the sack.

The Swans should be my second team now that the head office of my company is based there but fuck em.

Ched Evans found not guilty :popcorn:

[Marc Overmars]

I think given how vehemently he protested his innocence, this outcome isn't a big surprise.

I hope the slag is punished for ruining 5 years of the blokes life.

[Niall_Quinn]

Guilty, innocent, lies, truth don't even enter into the proceedings in a British court. Most things like this are decided on technicalities hinging on legal gobbledygook. Nothing can be concluded just because a British court has made a pronouncement. I once gave evidence in a rape trial (I hasten to add I wasn't defending myself at the time). It was 100% CERTAIN the scum bag did it - absolutely beyond all shadow of all doubt. And EVERYONE in the court knew it too. But the police fucked up when they gathered one minor piece of evidence and that was that. Innocent. The brief explained afterwards that this was a typical outcome. So all you can really say, looking in from the outside, is maybe he's guilty, maybe he's innocent, maybe he's a dumb arse for putting himself in that situation in the first place, maybe she's a bigger dumbarse still for ending up in that situation, maybe she's something far worse. Maybe she was raped. All we can say for certain is you won't learn anything from a British court. So I guess we shouldn't swing from calling him a scumbag to calling her a slag - because who the hell knows?

[Niall_Quinn]

There will be considerable concern around football that viewing figures for Sky Sports’ live Premier League matches this season have dropped by a whopping 19 per cent.

The dramatic year-on-year fall has occurred in the first season of a new rights deal with Sky and BT Sport having paid over £5billion between them for their three-year contracts for the match packages.

The surprise slide in Sky’s ratings comes despite an exciting start to the season plus the huge hype surrounding the managerial tussle between Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp.

People are getting bored of it. The hype. The ridiculous amounts of money sloshing around. The horrible prices that turn real fans away from the gates and surely in some cases turn them away from football in general. The declining standard of the game and the boredom of the ultra defensive play from most teams. The game is eating itself and by the sound of it just took a huge bite out of its own arse. Which might not be a bad thing if it stops the game escaping entirely up its own hole.

There's also the not so small matter of greedy Sky's ridiculous pricing. At the height of a recession people can't afford it, so of course subscriptions are dropping. But that's not to say actual viewers have fallen. I'd say quite a few have switched to pirate streams. I suppose we'll see the lawyers step up their antics to try and get more streams shut down. And if that happens, I still won't pay for Sky. I get it for free right now but I hardly ever switch it on. It's shite. Just a bunch of ads broken up by low quality crap. Everything I want is on pirate streams or CartoonHD. And Netflix. I just about don't mind paying for that - but it's getting close.

[Marc Overmars]

Can't say I'm surprised, I know a lot of people that have grown bored of the product and cancelled their subscriptions. Very rarely do I watch games as a neutral anymore, so as soon as they stop offering me the discounted price I have, I'm out. It's such a rip off.

I have to say though, having grown tired of watching it on TV, I'm actually enjoying going to the games again. I feel that experience was lost on me for a while having become saturated with the amount of football I'd watch on TV.

[GP]

You can almost hear the bubble bursting.

I'd go to the home games but it would cost me around £100 a pop, what with the travel and the luxury of a few beers. Plus the rail system is bloody awful and you end up on a bus instead of a train most weekends. Nowhere near worth the fuss and doubly so if you have to suffer one of those tip-tap marathons instead of a decent game. Much preferred watching the Legends match, and the Copa. If football was like that every week then I'd pay. As it is, no way.

I suppose it is one of those words that crossed a threshold as we moved from the bad old days where women tended to be referred to in respectful terms (even if they weren't treated with much practical respect) to the modern utopia where political correctness has magically transformed our language into... oh no, wait. Disrespectful language towards women, despite all the social engineering, is on the rise. How strange.
