    not a big name, but a name nonetheless. Fitba' is riddled wi' it! It seems like any agent, or ex-player connected with the game is as dodgy as a nine bob note unless he gets a good job on a football tv programme.

    That's ok then.😉

    I posted partly because he's been linked with the Hibs job in the past, but corruption is rife, big names or not.

    Where there's money there's corruption and football nowadays is rotten to the core. Let's not pretend otherwise.

    Nor was the Barnsley coach. Money is the root of all evil in football, it seems
    This is how it feels

    Wish the Telegraph would shine it's spotlight on the cesspit that is the Scottish game and it's governance.

    He's the assistant manager at one of the top clubs in England so he's absolutely a big name.

    I've said it in another thread that there's too much money in sport and the depth of corruption hasn't even been mildly disturbed yet. In football there's top executives like Blatter and Platini raking in millions, the present gang of managers and owners filling their boots and players involved in match fixing and gambling. The game is in danger of imploding. Anyone thinking otherwise is deluded.

    Black's coached/managed or been assistant at: Motherwell, Celtic, Birmingham, Sunderland, Blackburn, Wigan, Rotherham, Aston Villa and Southampton.
    So whilst he may not be "a big name" he certainly is a major figure on the cash coaching merry-go-round.

    Left by mutual consent!
    Been going on for years, just the sums are bigger now.

    Brian Clough loved a bung, Teddy Sheringhams move from Forest to Spurs was only approved when Clough got a brown bag of money from El Tel.

    I reckon most clubs would have had a manager who has transgressed at least once.....

    When you look at some of the dross we've signed in the last 10 years I wouldn't be surprised if one or two ex Hibs managers are exposed!

    Interesting analysis in the Guardian suggested that folk like Big Sam felt resentful that they had missed out on the big money during their playing days, so feel 'entitled' to rinse as much cash out of the game as possible, seemingly by any means necessary.

    Part of me doesn't really blame them for doing so.

    I don't really see that this is a big story - he's said something that he probably shouldn't have - but so what? What has he done wrong? I'm getting a bit bored of these Daily Telegraph stories.

    Well I do, although totally understand the corrupting influence of money.

    From the same article: Chris Sutton was apparently on £10k a week at Blackburn in 1994 - and former players were thinking he had hit the jackpot.

    By 2001, Sol Campbell was on £100k a week at Arsenal.

    Probably plenty to investigate up here too but they maybe don't sell enough newspapers up here to bother about it.

    The Telegraph is basically a cheap tabloid in broadsheet form these days. They've sacked a load of journalists and are solely motivated by commercial concerns.

    I do wonder if the BBC might do some digging on dodgy Dave King though. Their relationship with the current regime is already bad, and the hollow promises about 'over investment' are ripe for scrutiny.

    Not really the point I was making. When the story broke did it not say that eight current managers were implicated? If that was correct then I am wondering exactly how this story is going to fully play out. A lot of it will be editorial strategy but after Sam Allardyce it could be that the story has already peaked in terms of headlines and its time for the Daily Telegraph to hand the files over to the FA and let them do the round up.

    None of them would surprise me at all.

    I have to say that morals just don't exist in football or in sport at all tbh. These implicated will be back soon enough.

    Whilst none of the names surprise me in the slightest, I am not sure that Giggs would ever have been able to bring sufficient influence to bear to be a valid candidate (at least in so far as taking transfer bungs is concerned)

    While I can certainly believe some of those names, it just looks like a list of the usual suspects rather than genuine info.

    And never subject of a transfer during his playing career.

    Aye ok then, don't agree with you and I'm deluded?

    When was the last time there was even an allegation of match fixing or doping or similar in the SPFL?

    Never in my life time as far as I'm aware.

    Sure there's things to be concerned with but you seem to prophesise the end of the game at every opportunity. Lighten up.
