'Entrapment has won' as opposed to greed or stupidity, Sam?

He's right in a sense, it was entrapment.
That doesn't make him any less guilty though.

And apparently Allardyce was given £1m pay-off.

Gross missconduct surely? |

Entrapment would be to induce someone to do something that they otherwise wouldn't have done. If Allardyce could be so easily persuaded to meet total strangers, in a relatively open setting and make the comments that he did do (within weeks of starting his tenure in his "dream job"), I'm pretty sure he would have done exactly the same had the undercover journalists been genuine representatives of a Far East business. The bloke is so full of hubris he genuinely will believe he has been hard done by. The reported £1 million pay-off is totally what's wrong with football and in general, with those at the top of certain professions getting huge pay-offs and can then hide behind non-disclosure agreements. The average working man would face dismissal for "gross misconduct" for comparable actions. Similarly, in my previous job there was a clause in my contract which meant I couldn't take any other remunerated role. The thought process being that my employer wanted me to concentrate all my working efforts on the job they paid me to do whilst also saying that rest was also an important part of performance. Gross misconduct if caught out. So why can't we expect the England football manager, our MPs and CEOs etc to be 100% focussed on their jobs too? They surely get paid enough to warrant it. |

Personally, I would suggest that HMRC should carry out a thorough tax investigation of Mr Allardyce's affairs, looking for offshore bank accounts and generally checking the flow of his expenditure against his declared income and include money laundering enquiries.
Not saying he has anything to hide - but I feel sure that Sam himself would welcome such an investigation as an opportunity to clear his name re slurs on his character

A royal Household worker who took £100,000 in Bribes has just got 5 years for it.
Big Sam was going to take 4 times that amount & gets £1m pay-off.
Hard done by Sam, I don't think so.
And yes, this does sum up what is wrong with Football, and the greedy money grabbing cunts that are in & around the top of it

So then of these managers/clubs that have allegedly taken bungs, I wonder how many will by relegated by two divisions, possibly having it reduced to one on appeal?
No, I don't think so either.

I do hope Power's not involved. He knows agents and stuff and, well, he's certainly the type to do a spot of 'wheeling and dealing'
