Dandydon Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 13 hours ago, sbcmfc said: Not so sure. Obviously on a much smaller scale, but then the risk v reward is maybe a bit more favourable. I'm sure there were suspicions over a dodgy agent that Craig Brown used when he was at Motherwell. The Tony Andreu to Norwich deal stinks to hell. There will be back handers all over the place in Scottish football, but perhaps 4 figure sums, rather than 6 figure sums. I remember when Craig Brown signed Myles Anderson for Aberdeen I thought it a strange move then discovered his father was football agent Jerome Anderson.

Och Aye Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Pathetic these punters on Sky Sports News, Big Sam apologists, makes you want to listen to to Chris Sutton. Now touting fellow pundit Glen Hoddle, a guy who says it's disabled people's fault they're disabled. No wonder other footballing nations can't stick England.

The English do not have the managers available to manage at the top level in football, just look at the present EPL , you will be hard pressed to find an English manager never mind a good one.

With the best will in the world pretty much anything to do with reincarnation is tied to religious beliefs in my humble opinion and there are billions of Hindus that go along with his way of thinking. Religion should have feck all to do with his ability to do his job as a football manager ;-) And we'll disagree over Hoddle because I think hes good enough .

Lots of rumors on twitter about a manager who managed in England but is now in Scotland. Clarke, Rodgers? Don't think anything definitive though. Ether the telegraph want to milk it, or there are injunctions flying about. Edit- this is what the Telegraph says- 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.

His beliefs in reincarnation as expressed at the time were the same as those found in Hinduism hence Nobbys comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not read Hertscots post ? Hoddle was at that time most definitely not mainstream Church of England !!!!!! Your comment appeared to be aimed at Glenn Hoddle because he did or does believe in reincarnation,which also happens to be a belief/view held by the Hindu religion which would agree with him . Im also not totally sure what his skin colour or social standing has to do with his religous beliefs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellyman Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hertscots - said it was his "New age Beliefs" [whatever that was ?] - no mention of a religious group. My comment about Hoddle being a twat is down to his comments of the disabled - which i am sure even the most staunch Hoddle supporter would agree was a stupid thing to stay. To bring in the whole Hindu religious beliefs thing is not relevant to what Hoddle said about disabled people or do the Hindu's run around saying "oh the guy in the wheel chair must have been a pr"ck in a previous life" ??? Describing Hoddle as being a white, middle class Englishman and presumably at one time church of England ? - was trying to explain how bizarre his comments of the time were when you looked at his standing and background. Now Nobby my old cocker does that explain things better for you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
