they described one of them as "long-serving" which basically reveals it. are we on shaky ground discussing this speculation here?

only time i've ever felt a slither of sympathy for allardyce was when i discovered on 5live last night that he'd once tried to get the bbc to sack alan green.

obv happy that allardyce sacked, not that igaf about england just for the sheer amusement but these telegraph revelations are such weak sauce. a couple of agents ran their mouths about 8 PREMIER LEAGUE!!! managers shock horror but nothing approaching proof, not even enough 'evidence' to name them. the way they and the rest of the media talk you'd think it was end of times not something that will be forgotten about by the time the next int. break is over.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, the manager of Queens Park Rangers, another Championship side, was filmed agreeing to represent the same firm by flying to the Far East to talk to investors for £55,000 a time.
He appeared open to the idea of signing players owned by the firm, despite the possibility of a conflict of interest. He told undercover reporters posing as representatives of the company: “Give me a ----ing player. A good player.”

Rooney in midfield and Lingard on the wing bcos, as Southgate put it "He's in a good moment with his form". Paddy Power offering 75/1 on a nil-nil, may lump on a few quid just for lols

Southgate is such a gentleman he's clearly establishing his "unfit for the job" credentials nice and early
― legitimate concerns about ducks (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 8 October 2016 16:03 (seven years ago) link
nah, Rashford will come on and rescue it xpost
Lingard is a strange one. His supporters praise his "movement", which tbf is probably superior to most of the statuesque fuckers Utd have up front, but he regularly goes through entire games without having any direct positive influence. And then every ten games or so he'll pop up with something like the Cup final or Charity Shield goal.
Managers seem to like him because he does as he's told and runs around a lot, and Southgate obviously knows him well from the u-21s

So it would appear that England are still shite but, worry not, for, according to Tyldesley, 'two or three' of the goals Scotland scored against Malta were 'fortuitous'.

He should not expect a great deal of sympathy but in the grand scheme of managerial scandals it is certainly a few notches down from the passage in Joey Barton’s newly released autobiography about the “creative accounting” of one manager (though not one, he says, he ever played under) whose “speciality was making late substitutions on the understanding his assistant would later collect a percentage of the player’s match fee”. That manager, according to Barton, was infamous for giving homegrown players their debuts, sometimes just for a few minutes, so the academy director would collect a bonus, to be split again. The manager would re-sign players he had worked with at other clubs and take a cut from them, too – paid monthly, and invariably in cash.

jason puncheon was fined 15k for publicly accusing him of the re-signed player racket, but homegrown debuts doesnt really check out - given maybe like five in the last decade iirc
― r|t|c, Monday, 10 October 2016 14:29 (seven years ago) link
also worth asking yourself what % of every substitution you've ever seen in your life was purely of sporting motivation - clubs paying less if they come on after 60 mins etc

Wayne Rooney has a massive bench coat on as he sidles up alongside Jamie Vardy in the dugout. He's having a laugh and a joke. He'll be hoping to have an effect from there.
he's supposed to be sitting at one end of the bench but he's moved to the middle.
