Greedo Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 MPs discussing allegations made by Jason Puncheon that our friend Colin gave players inflated wages & bonuses in return for them paying him to be in the team. Now I'm not his biggest fan, but he's never struck me as the type to pull this sort of thing. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/17/football-manager-neil-warnock-made-players-pay-him-to-get-into-t/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Nothing surprises me when it comes to Colin. Rumours surrounding his activities have been rife for years but so far nothing seems to have stuck. A bit like Jimmy Savile really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashtonwurzel Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 If it is true then others will come out to confirm Puncheons story in the next couple of days. I think there could be something in this, wasn't Redknapp accused of something similar amongst other things ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 The only thing I would say you would have to be pretty stupid to name someone like this without having something to back it up. Especially if you are still involved in the game. But I guess he is a footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just say he took bungs for transfers as that had been proven to have happened with some of Warnocks peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 The tweets from Jason Puncheon are from some time back and were quickly deleted. The FA written reasons for Puncheon's fine for improper conduct says there was a settlement between Puncheon and Warnock. They were repeated today in Parliament using Parliamentary Privilege.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted October 17, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I find it hard to believe that after managing 17 clubs, there is only one accusation and that from a player with a grievance. But if it were to be proven to be true, he should receive a lifetime ban from football, if the player making the accusation is found to be fabricating it, then he should suffer a similar fate.

Tipps69 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I heard similar to this a while back but can't remember the names involved (it could of been in the 'secret footballer' series of books) but it makes sense, a lot of players have appearance fee's in their contracts & how many times do you see a player(s) brought on for the last 5 minutes or so to supposedly 'run the clock down' but knowing that the ref is going to add on 'injury time' anyway!!

I used to work with a bloke with zero interest in football but who had a friend in his class at school who went on to have a pretty decent career at our current level. He told him of another notoriously dodgy (now ex) manager who did exactly that at a club he was playing for and once tried to get him to split his appearance fee half each, but when he said "no" he didn't bring him on as a sub..

You have to think that things like this do happen but it is strange that no one else has "fronted up" with names. I am sure that Steve Evans never got involved in anything like this for instance.

Whether it comes into the public domain is another thing. 'Jobs for the boys' is very much an apt description for football imo. 'You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours'... How many managers have put money before thinking of the outcome of a match? How many have decided not to positively influence a match and bring on a Sub, because that player has refused to give half his match fee, or such like? How many managers, scouts and agents only work together? How many managers ask for a cut in any pre contract or negotiated wage increase? The list goes on for all the questions you could ask when it comes to 'deals' in football. From the Brown envelope in the car park at amateur level....to off shore accounts at the highest level....it seems football is rife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
