No one forced him to do anything, or coerced him. They'd heard that he and certain other managers could be bought and so they put a feeler out to test if it's true, then true to form the greedy **** was more than happy to take a meeting with some less than scrupulous characters as long as there was money in it for him, presumably he does this sort of thing all the time. He's there with his agent and financial adviser, he's clearly not new to this sort of thing (and has been caught with his hand in the till before).
You can guarantee Moyes is in the mix as one of those.
Yep.. Harry Redknapp HAS to be one as well. I'd also include Pardew and Pulis in the mix as well. It actually wouldn't surprise me if it was all of whiskey noses "chosen ones", as in the managers he'd take out for dinner after they rolled over for his scum team.

Yep, just bald and dances like a fairy.Oi, Guardiola isn't fat.

Forget guilt or innocence for a minute, but which other country's national press would go after the national team manager, a week before 2 qualifiers? And when I say go after, I don't mean report on wrongdoing, I mean set him up and then report on it as if it is a fact their investigative journalists have uncovered? They've got two actors to film someone unknowingly and it doesn't feel right. This is the same newspaper gleefully celebrating the demise of the NOTW and its 'dirty tricks' and phone hacking......
I've just read what Allardyce said. I can't see where he's done anything wrong. He'll probably have a frosty phone call to make to Roy but then who doesn't say things privately that they wouldn't say in public. No one!
The bigger issue to me seems to be that there are another 10 managers who were also tapped up for these dodgy meetings.
I think these hacks need to concentrate on reporting news rather than trying to make it.
How do people expect people to get caught if not like this? Or do they think people should be allowed to be as dodgy as they want as long as they conduct their business in private? Or should we wait for the people they are meeting with to "do the right thing" and turn them in? It doesn't strike me as a trap that would get anyone who isn't dirty already.See I don't understand this stance. "Evil newspapers setting up people" umm.. well if they weren't greedy dodgy cunts they would not agree to the meeting and the paper would have no story to print. But no they can't help themselves can they? But yeah lets just bury our heads in the sand, blame the media for setting them up so they can happily keep taking their backhanders and the corruption in the game just keeps on getting worse.

Isn't investigative reporting looking into serious crime, corporate malfeasance and political wrongdoing?Not sure you understand the premise of investigative reporter.
Not really. Which is more newsworthy in England:Isn't investigative reporting looking into serious crime, corporate malfeasance and political wrongdoing?
Unless they have some evidence of previous corruption, it's not investigative journalism but creating a story where one didn't previously exist.

So it's putting a bag with £1M in used notes on a park bench and publishing a story about the 'thief' that picks it up?
