    Football Child Abuse

    As long as it's not illegal, he has every right to express a personal opinion however ignorant it may be. At the same time, as someone who makes a living as a public personality, he shouldn't be surprised that expressing those opinions on a sensitive subjec tmight result in him losing some...

    Football Child Abuse

    I agree that a key part of the duty of care is removing the opportunity for something to happen, but that's really a minimum requirement. Another mentioned a few times this week is the annual CRB/DBS checks that coaches have to undertake, but those only highlight previous offences. My question...

    Football Child Abuse

    Unfortunately for the game, but perhaps fortunately for past and possible future victims this has the potential to be a watershed moments. I also expect the FA and their prior knowledge of these types of incidents to come under scrutiny. I'm not suggesting cover ups; but there is a duty of care...

    Clearly this is the answer.... English football can only succeed by embracing 'marketing philosophy' says FA CEO Martin Glenn http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/english-football-succeed-embracing-marketing-philosophy-says-fa-ceo-martin-glenn/1416052#FeIQKt1CXtkXRP0p.99

    ...and higher, as it looks like they've put corporate boxes at pitch level.

    Vincent Janssen

    When I was Janssen's age I moved to the US for a couple of years which wasn't easy at first. 'Culture Shock' is a legitimate psychological challenge for any young person who moves to a new country whatever the distance, whatever you're paid, or whether the language is different or not. For...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    I don't know about Spurs, but Liverpool used the same agency who did this kind of thing for West Ham, Wembley, Emirates Marketing Project and originally Arsenal. Football clubs are so unoriginal.

    Telegraph Entrapment Scheme

    While I think this whole thing is a joke, its good to see Redknapp reverting to type.... “They never had a bet anyway,” Redknapp continued. “No-one had a bet. Impossible. Anyone who’s watching this who understands betting odds knows that a team on the top playing a team that’s relegated, it’s...

    Telegraph Entrapment Scheme

    No, no, no... to some people, the greater good of football comes before everything else... "It caused surprise at the UEFA Congress in Budapest that FA chief executive Martin Glenn missed the event, habitually attended by football federation CEOs, because he was on a long-arranged stag trip to...

    Telegraph Entrapment Scheme

    And yet he has apparently walked away with a £1m pay off. I realise that it will be linked to him signing a confidentiality agreement, but surely his contract had something relating to non disclosure anyway. Multiple sources have published how everything unfolded on Monday so no secrets there...

    Telegraph Entrapment Scheme

    It depends what your main contract says. I'm not on a huge salary, but I still have a clause saying that I can't undertake other any paid employment without permission.

    Telegraph Entrapment Scheme

    The Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink piece is the biggest non-story so far. Apparently he has a clause in his contract that says he can undertake paid speaking engagements, and all he asks the supposed agents to do is get him "****ing good players". I can't understand why the Telegraph didn't go with...

    Next England Manager Thread

    The problem for the FA is that over the last 18 months they have already gone through a huge restructure. They have a new Chief Exec, new Chairman, replaced almost every department director, moved everyone involved with the teams from Wembley to Burton, appointed new specialist coaches, new...

    Telegraph Entrapment Scheme

    In this case it doesn't appear that they've tried to prove anything about whether the payments were actually made or not - that would have been real investigative journalism worthy of 8 months work. They simply have interviews with a third party talking about the 8 managers. They would get sued...

    Next England Manager Thread

    Before Allardyce was appointed, Rodgers would have been the type of coach that Dan Ashworth wanted. The 'England DNA' thing that he launched for the age group teams a couple of years ago was supposed to help create a pipeline of talent leading to the senior team. Rogers used a similar 'DNA'...

    Ingerlund

    The transcripts from the Telegraph are online, and there still isn't anything that I can see as a police matter. The biggest story is the England manager being sacked, and the story that gets him sacked quickest is the one where he gives advice on how to get around third party ownership rules...

    Ingerlund

    I think there's more to this than has been released by the Telegraph so far. Yesterday afternoon there was at least one story suggesting material had been handed to police. I can't see that being related to the opinions he gave in the first story/video. Presumably at those meetings yesterday...

    Southgate won't take the permanent job, that was shown by the speed at which he came out to say he wasn't even interested in a caretaker role after Hodgson left. Someone to look after the team until the end of the season, then Wenger to take over?

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    To say that we'll get 'much bigger' offers nearer the time of opening doesn't make much sense, as the nearer we get to our first game without a signed deal, the stronger the negotiating position gets for the potential sponsor. This type of deal is a big investment from a potential sponsor, and...

    Fixture & Ticket News 2016/17

    While I don't have any inside info on how the the Tottenham deal with Stubhub is structured, I do know of deals with resale sites in the US where Stubhub (or the equivalent) either receive an allocation of tickets to sell or have a guarantee from the team to list a minimum number. I've also...
