The right thing was for the FA to sack him for gross misconduct. FA mutually agree to terminate the contract and pay him off.barnetpete wrote:
FA did what's right. In any other job if you tried to tell a client how to do your employer out of money/get round their rules then you'd expect to get sacked for gross misconduct.
Technically you are correct. But it would be naive to think that some Premier League managers, which may or may not include Big Sam, have never received an illegal 'kick-back' payment (i.e. a bribe) in order to engineer a particular player transfer.GRH wrote:I'm clearly missing something.

Been a little bit mean about Roy Hodgson in a private conversation?
Hurt Gary Neville's feelings?
Talked about how to get around 3rd party agreements rather than operate with them?
Refused to take a bung?
There's nothing criminal in what he did, Stupid, yes.

Simon King is one of my all time Barnet favourite players but I don't even remember the incident, let alone who committed it.
Was it a home or away match?
He is accused of involvement in a £5K bung. Why would anybody risk their livelihood for a paltry £5K? At least Sam stood to gain £400K !
It does go on without a doubt. I was told about it happening at this level by someone that would have access to that kind of information, although whether it was true I don't know. I'd hope it wasn't. That just proves that the FA aren't up to the task of running the game any more.kingpinfid wrote:Technically you are correct.

The Telegraph footage proves that despite being incredibly well paid, Big Sam is (a) a bit thick and (b) very greedy, which in my opinion, makes him potentially corruptible. Time will prove whether or not he is actually corrupt, but it wouldn't surprise me if he is.
Maybe because some people are incredibly stupid and bad at life.becbee wrote:What an amazing thing to remember.jerroll wrote:Horrible man Tommy Wright, he was the Darlington player sent off after 50 odd seconds for elbowing Simon King in the face a few years ago.

The FA, UEFA, FIFA all need to be regulated by completely independent regulators to ensure they are compliant and fit for purpose. Time and again the so-called inquiries / investigations that are initiated to clean up our game are instigated within the realm of said organisation. FIFA recently prevented the publishing in full of the recent corruption inquiry, they should not have been in a position to influence the sharing of the findings.GRH wrote:It does go on without a doubt.

I don't believe his motive was greed. It was the power and status of being the number one manager in the country that went to his head and played to his ego. Naive, certainly. But in a game where players get paid £300k a week and players go for £89m, let's not kid ourselves that football has much morality about it.
Has Jerroll been jerolled? Is becbee now the fount of all knowledge? We await with baited breath......becbee wrote:Jerroll, far be it for me to question one with your encyclopaedic knowledge, but have you got the right Tommy Wright here?
Tommy Wright, Barnsley is 50 years old, I can't find a Wiki entry for him but he'd have been 37 -41 years old when Simon King played for us 2003 -2007 so quite likely would have retired by then.
However there is a Tommy Wright aged 32 years old who played for Darlington 2007-2008. He is now player -manager at Corby Town.
