…abstainedly formulated by Optimus trousers…beta v1.9 - now with EXTRA pictures!

Wonder if he paid cash in a carrier bag or bank transfer into a numbered swiss account

Hmm

The cynic in me says … ‘guilty man banged to rights and trying to worm his way out of it’

Don’t expect any movement on the Eric Black accusations until The Telegraph supply the club with the transcript.They’re not doing that yet, probably to eek-out extra sales for their weekend editions…revealing them as “sensational revelations”

Can’t help feeling very cynical over this messy business, an evangelical crusade to clean up football or a nice little earner to sell more newspapers to shmucks who hang onto every snippet about The Church of Premier League Football.

He reckons he’ll take a lie detector test.

If this was a sting operation, it was one of the honey bee. That’s the species famous for fatally ripping its own arse out when it goes on the attack.

Arry is the next manager to be named. It’s always the ones you trust most isn’t it?

I spent 6 hours today outside Staplewood. Did one live at midday then Sky realised it was a non story and the reporter moved on. The club are saying nothing.

The fact that the Telegraph haven’t dressed this all up as one big story and instead are drip feeding it slowly, exposing one numpty at a time - shows the transparency of their aims. Sell newspapers and make money.

There is too much money in this stupid game. It has gotten ridiculous by all accounts. The fact that the cover story or legend of these reporters is that some random Far East or middle eastern blokes want to cash in on the player transfer market - and it is entirely plausible just goes to show what it’s all about.

What a load of old scrotum.

Facking 'ell. 'Arry’s dodgy n all? Oo wud of funk it?

:lou_sunglasses:

What a load of shite, can’t believe that the worst they can dig up on Redknapp is that some players might have bet on a game one time. These ‘revelations’ are just getting weaker and weaker.

If the Telegraph is to be believed, football is the cleanest industry on Earth.

It has to be the season we were relegated surely. It look to me through my drunken eyes, that the majority of games were being thrown that in the 2004/05 season!!! Take your pick from few! :lou_wink_2:

Boro

Villa

Everton

Spring straight to mind!

As said, the revelations are getting weaker and weaker. Can only imagine they are hoping to end with a bang (or a bung) with the stuff about managers and backhanders.

Has this all been swept under the carpet ?

Any new revelations in the Sunday papers?

I notice Eric Black was on the bench yesterday so the club haven’t suspended him.

Don’t know about the Sunday Telegraph but there was nothing in the Daily Telegraph (the freebie in the coffee shop) this morning.

I’m guessing there are legal challenges going on behind the scenes at the moment…why else would they be silent.

or they’ve eeked out every last column inch possible, from their couple of half stories and the gutter is dry.

Interesting article today, by Nial Quinn for Sky
