Guest LondonScottish Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Five clubs have been named as breaching transfer regulations by Lord Stevens; namely Chelsea, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Bolton and Portsmouth. These clubs' dealings will now be investigated further by the football association, with Newcastle and Bolton thought to be seen as the most serious miscreants. Stevens voiced concerns about the operations of some 15 agents and third parties involved in 17 transfers. The report goes on to specifically list concerns around two managers, namely, Allardyce and Souness. Looks like there could be a fair amount of fire with this smoke................... Link to comment
CoveSheep Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Some agent on TV saying he has been accused of not co-operating for not putting a loan deal down as a transfer. Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 It would be just Newcastles luck if Allardyce has to leave football because of this...... that club is cursed. Link to comment
Westendorfer Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 It would be quite amusing if Allardyce (Snr) got nailed for this, after he acted all Billy Big Balls and refused to talk to the BBC after Panaroma. Link to comment
The Ferret Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 It would be quite amusing if Allardyce (Snr) got nailed for this, after he acted all Billy Big Balls and refused to talk to the BBC after Panaroma. It would indeed... However, until they come out with some evidence to prove any wrong doing this enquiry will no doubt get the same response from Allardyce (Snr) that the Panorama deal did i.e. Allardyce will claim they have proved nothing... Seems like they have just picked the easy targets that the Beeb already lined up for them (apart from Souness that is)?!? Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 (apart from Souness that is)?!? I hope Souness gets crucified, whether guilty or not. Link to comment

minijc Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 There's a pattern in those players, mostly all of them are Africans, must be something to do with the market over there. Link to comment
