OT - Big Sam

[Rock The Boat 1,332]

The original expression comes from the bible, Nuty:

1 Timothy 6:10, For the love of money is the root of all evil.

I know Rocky buddy. And it''s continually misquoted and misunderstood. :)

No sympathy with this "underhand sting" nonsense. He is a greedy b@stard and shouldn''t have got within a mile of these characters.

Good piece of investigative journalism which is likely to expose some of the rotten apples in our game.

The whole episode shows him having poor judgement, in my opinion, he should have been far more guarded about people he didnt know and the kind of questions being asked. It is naive and demonstrates a kind of hubris that is perhaps surprising. Never great to criticise openly or implicitly, one''s employer.

In his position, on that salary, he represents the country he had to go.The question is who replaces him

[daly 501]

Crooked fat greedy bastard who will probably get paid thousands of TV license payers money to appear on the BBC as a pundit.

Now blaming the media for entrapment

[nutty nigel 7,535]

Yes, it appears he was trapped into being crooked and greedy. It wouldn''t have happened but fot the press.....

[quote user="Rock The Boat"] It will be either Strictly or Great British Bake Off (version 2) for Fat Sam, mark my words[/quote]With all this flak I reckon he''ll be agitating for a spell in '' I''m a Celebrity Get me IN Here ''....[;)]

Cellino on the culture behind the scenes in football:

"Cellino then goes on to tell the reporters that England is the "worst culture in the world" which "(specialises) in screwing people"

Cellino says English football and the people involved in it are "the more dirty people." English people are "the worst in football."

He''s mad. But I think he''s dead right here. No one running the game has much interest in the quality of the product and are only interested in lining their own pockets. I said something similar a few weeks ago about why the FA is such a mess and got told I was just bitter about not being rich.

There are real problems with our game and I don''t think it''s as simple as ''problems at grassroots level'' or inferior coaching like we often hear bandied about

We need all these institutions and their networks of cronies torn apart and a new governing body installed. One that runs our league like they do in Germany, fans and product first, low ticket prices, all games shown live and where a private investor can only own up to 49% of the club. That would fix a lot of problems
