I wonder if someone topped up his pension. maybe working on the assumption that as there's no proof and it's not in his interest for him to be telling the truth, he might as well deny it. Or try to. Might look ridiculous if the telegraph have got reams and reams of footage of his words of course, but in the PR battle, it's the only defense he's got.

Midfielder Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) I've googled the list that alleges who the eight are. Won't post it here. (edit --- and won't PM anyone it if asked who it is in case it's dodgy legally to do that, in case it's bull too and high chance it is). Obviously it's speculation but IF that list turns out to be true it's pretty damning for the current premier league in terms of the potential for heads to roll during a season. Who knows. IF the list is true I'm not surprised by a couple but highly surprised by some. The game is in a sorry state. When they said '8 managers current and former' did they mean they had these 8 on film? Or just "evidence" on the 8? Because as time goes on and they drip feed their snippets, some when revealed will shock the game a little.

villa4europe Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 redknapp's a strange one and a bit different, he said that he knew his players were betting on themselves to win in the grand scheme of things its breaking the rules and they should investigate the players but throwing the book at arry because he didnt report players gambling? its not actually that bad IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The Redknapp news isn't really all that. We all know he's dodgy. His dog has an offshore bank account ffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midfielder Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 What's worrying though is he says something like 'who gives a sh-- about that' when referring to betting on the match. With my tin hat on, there could be a lot wrong with that, whereby there's a vested interest in an outcome of a game rather than the result playing out naturally. There's the potential for that anyway, not saying that's happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the potential for that anyway, not saying that's happened. It's a problem from a bookie's perspective; the players have insider knowledge, and on the specific game, towards the end of the season, odds are long because the bookies assumed Harry would play a week team, the players may have known otherwise. In principle, a player betting on themselves to win doesn't seem that big a problem, but of course, they could always be colluding with their mates in the other team. I'm not particularly outraged though. I'm amazed that this is all they could pin on Harry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't fetch sticks or chew Dentistix, it's more of a fan of money laundering and tax evasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 In fairness, a jury of his peers concluded that he'd done nothing wrong in having a hidden offshore account in the name of his dog. From which I can only conclude that football managers earn far more than your average juror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I've got a good book on football corruption. Unsurprisingly 'arry crops up a few times, especially his dubious transfer dealings at West Ham, leading to the chairman at the time Terry Brown asking the premier league and FA to investigate, only for Peter Scudamore to brush it all under the carpet. However, 'arry doesnt appear as much as his 'hero' who mentored him in the ways of transfers, Terry Venables, who has a few chapters dedicated to him. Reading about spurs its the one time a felt a wee bit of sympathy for Alan sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Wasn't Chris Coleman sacked from Fulham and basically ostricised from the game for a period for highlighting he corruption in the game and trying to name names? Shows how the 'old boys club' is still existing in the game. Edited October 1, 2016 by stewiek2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Speaking of 'arry, I know one of the investigating officers from his case who is still pissed off with local police's botching of evidence gathering. Said there was so much they couldn't use due to how it was gathered locally, but that I wouldn't believe some of what my mate twitchy was upto that even had the serious organised crime unit staggered. Guilty as hell, totally corrupt were the less damning of phrases used to me. I wonder how Kevin Bond and Joe Jordan are feelig right now? Shame 'arry cant read this thread, what with having the reading age of a 3 year kid. So his defence team said anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
