Rumour going round about Moyes to West Ham, probably baseless as he hasn't been at Sociedad that long but if it happens I'll be lealous, I would take him back in a heartbeat, Martinez isn't fir to lace his boots.

You'll have to get some more Martinez players then, I honestly think a change of manager would be a backward step, let's see what next season brings, he's had a good 'un and bad 'un.

Half my prediction looks to be coming true @PaulB.

Rodgers is a joke of a manager.

Still, you've got the memories eh?

Bullshit and bluster only lasts so long, banging on about the "Liverpool way", not any different to the Halifax Town way IMO, doesn't get you any points.

West Ham might get Rodgers yet, apparently Moyes has ruled himself out of a move.

I was in Spain recently and Moyes is getting quite a bit of stick for his poor points per £ (his contract) that he has provided.

The question I'd like to know about this...
is
Why is the US busting them? why not an European police force or does the bribery tentacles go deep across Europe.
Until recently bribery was legal in Switzerland and that is why all the world bodies of sport tended to locate there...
I hope the fat Blatt gets his erse put in pokey as well...

American anti-corruption laws are pretty tough when they choose to apply them and they cover any company with an American connection or which does business in the US.

The allegations are that US banks have been used in the transfer of money for bribes and laundering. If US banks or organisations are involved then everyone involved is liable to US laws according to the US. It's a case of one bully beating on another bully. And we will all cheer. I, personally, hope all the corrupt officials in FIFA get sent to Guantanamo.

How far back can they go... 1966?

Septic Bladder in an orange jumpsuit- now that would be a sweet sight!

Be interesting to see what happens at Brentford with the statistical analysis system used to provide cheap expendable coaches with a squad.

Excelsior are tiny so this guy will have cost peanuts.

Are the raids not just Blatter having anyone who might vote against him banged up?

 

[Archie_tect]

Maybe FIFA have accused innocent ones who will then be cleared of all wrong-doing so that they can keep the status-quo...

Once the Feds get involved all those with their fingers in the till need to seriously worry. It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

I first read that as 'Radio FBI'! Cool, I thought, you can listen to the FBI on FM, digital and over the web!

'on radio' I can almost hear my local accent in that.
