Why would Allardyce either they don't need the money, some people just like the power and are chancers by nature.
I just have a hard time imagining Mourinho and Ferige doing it. It makes sense for people in lesser positions, where the pay isn't as good. But did Fat Sam actually do anything incriminating?
If Fergie wasn't knee deep in bungs I'd be amazed. The Bebe deal stank and provoked muted comment at the time; of course the perennial cheating bully was a peer of the realm by then so,,,,,,,
PS It was his sheer greed that lead to the sale to the Glazers.
He ok'd it, but I don't think you can blame him for the owners cashing in.
But I dunno about the bungs with him. He was well-paid enough to not need them, and bad enough at transfers that Bebe is explainable in other ways.
To me, it's about both opportunity and incentives. A lot of the UK managers had both a need to cash in while they could, and the opportunity to do so (no DoFs at their clubs). Fergie didn't have the incentive, in my mind.
I could very well be wrong, we shall see. I could see him more taking on third party ownership of players than getting bribed himself. That would've been just like horses for him.
Neither, he got offered a sack full of cash to shut his mouth.. That's the only language these parasites understand..
Ha! So he and two or three other football agents all happened to lie about the same list of football managers taking bribes?
Because that's what Telegraph reported, that multiple sources independent of one another named the same figures!
Speaking of horses, he took the Coolmore guys to court for a share of the stud rights for a race horse after he had been gifted a half share in the race winnings. The fall out from this prompted the sale of about 25 % of the club to the Glazers which played a vital part in the leveraged takeover. He had his own son acting as player agent for a while. His time frame coincided with George Graham, Terry Venables and 'Arry , it is a reasonable assumption given the man's character that he was also complicit. He is still taking millions out of the club as ambassador.
Pinosaurus.
It's with the Police now. That is at least the line that is being trotted out why there is no further news being reported.
