Shock horror.
I read that as Mark Hughes being the one under investigation for a moment
I read his column in the standard on the issue - obviously he was very sympathetic to Sam. At the time I was thinking ānah he canāt be involved if heās doing a write up on it, the guys on OA are wrongā
So he said he heard players bet on a game and agreed to invest in something. These ārevelationsā are getting worse.
Heāll have to answer to the FA, be fined and the players will likely be fined too, which is fair. Heās also really not the brightest for revealing such a story.
Heās not really in the game anymore. I doubt heāll have to answer to them at all. And even if he did he could just say he was talking bollocks to impress. They wont be able to prove anything.
Does anyone else not really give a fuck about any of this?
Its just another news story. The headline grabs you or it doesnāt.
True corruption being exposed is always a fairly righteous cause but youāll have to forgive me for not getting all bent out of shape about Fat Sam being greedy and Harry being a scummy cunt.
I just feel bad for his dog, poor things name is going to be dragged through the gutter once more.
I donāt think anyone is particularly bent out of shape.
I was certainly expecting a lot more. So far the biggest scandal is what, assistant managers taking a few quid to get the manager to have a look at a player?
Nothing solid on match fixing or suspicious betting (Iām guessing Redknapp was talking about a player betting on themselves which I really couldnāt give a shit about).
Everyoneās talking about it, blowing it way out of proportion, even people who have absolutely no interest in football.
Itās a British scandal, I genuinely canāt wait until Big Sam is on Loosewomen telling his side of the story.
So you mean the media are talking bollocks and people who see the bollocks media talk are talking further bollocks. Fair enough, my own experience is people basically shrugging their shoulders.
Yeh man kinda. I just donāt feel itās a massive deal but itās selling papers and sparking debate. So job done on the Telegraphās part.
Fat Sam really is a bellend for throwing away this opportunity isnt he. Heās been an average manager all his life and he gets a high profile job like this. Heās crying into his chips n gravy at night
Heās made a career from saving relegation fodder. Now heās finally made it big and is the salvation the England side has been waiting for, yet finds himself cast among the wolvesā¦
Iām not comparing him to Nolanās Batman, but he totally is.

[/quote]Well, he is from the Black country after all
I dunno tbh im just pissed and fancied slagging him off tbh
For the record I donāt actually think Fat Sam is Batman.
