And he said he'd need it to be Ok'd by the FA."A £400,000 agreement with a football agency firm is a potential conflict of interest for an international football manager as it raises the possibility that he is “employed” by a company whose footballer clients could benefit from preferential treatment.
Allardyce told undercover reporters that the banned practice was still possible in “all of South America, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, all of Africa” and that the Ecuadorean player Enner Valencia had been under a third party ownership agreement when he signed him for £12 million for West Ham from a Mexican club in 2014."
This is what will see him out the door I reckon
Yes but that's a 9 or 10, this is about a 2.
He's told them you can't invest as a third party in a player. He's said what you can do is hire/invest in an agent and then you earn money from players. Which is exactly what agents and their "sports management" companies do. It's why Mino's company made £26m this summer. There's nothing remotely dodgy about him stating that.
He took this piss out of Roy's speech. Well so has every tabloid, podcast, fan website.
He said he should have taken charge and told Neville to shut up, exactly. He should have. That's what a manager should do.
He's told them to fuck off when they suggested anything illegal and said they FA would have to OK his contract if it went ahead.
As I say, I want him sacked for being shite, I don't think he's actually done anything approaching bringing his employers into disrepute.
He's done
Got to be the shortest time ever as an international manager if he does get sackedAlmost hitting Steve Coppell standards on longitvity in job.
Joe Mercer?Got to be the shortest time ever as an international manager if he does get sacked
Not sure that's true, as third party ownership has been banned all over the world by FIFAlast year, but a lot of countries aren't that interested in enforcing the rules, then telling them agents who'll help them do it. It's essentially telling them ways to get away with breaking the rulesOn the "he's told them how to evade the FA rules" thing, I don't think he has.
It's like an internet sales company saying to me "we will set up in Slough and fiddle our books to avoid tax" and me saying "no you can't do that, what you should do is set up in Dublin and pay Irish tax on your sales".
He's telling them that there are ways to stay within the law and still invest in football.
He needs to give twitcher a call for advice on how to get out of this mess ...maybe he could bung him a few quid.........for his advisory role
