Snapped down the bung allegation straight away.
Didnt advise how to get around third party just said it could be done(and didnt we get around it by just buying out the players rights? like he did with valencia?)
Slags off roy and neville but no harm in that, its not even that bad.
Emphasizes he will deliver a keynote speech for 100k a pop and nothing else.
Seems fine by me.
That's how I saw it. The headlines are bigger than the actual story and it's causing people to get carried away.
If there's more to come then I might think differently, but based on the initial story and video there's not really much to see.

He may quite possibly not be found guilty of breaking any laws or rules, but he's certainly been caught with his trousers down.
He's at the very least going to be censured for his lack of integrity, and certainly won't be in his current job much longer.

He should be punished for this - let him carry on as England manager

Creative FA thinking might assess this now as being the time for Shrek to step up to the plate as Player-Manager.
In their eyes, he's already an iconic and inspiring captain, so it would make perfect sense to them and keep 'everyone', whomsoever they may be, completely happy.
The FA are a load of duffers and crackpots so, no matter how ridiculous this might sound, I wouldn't put this past them.

Steady on Bianchi, admitting that would rule you out immediately.
