Unless you've been, well, not surfing the net today or checking your favorite football sites in the last day or two, you would know that English football is being hit by quite a major scandal.
And no, it does not just involve some tight-upper lipped suit in some office who you don't know or the janitor's son but some of the mentioned parties include Bolton manager Big Sam and Pompey manager Harry Redknapp.
While it is nowhere in the scale of the scandal that struck Malaysian football some years ago that effectively crippled our national team and sent Malaysian football about 10-years back into the dark ages (and seriously, considering where Malaysian football was at, at the time, it was pretty damn far back), it is certainly a grave concern. Which could in turn result in two managerless Premiership clubs before the season ends.
With the start Pompey's had, you must wonder if this will start mucking around with Harry's dreams of European grandeur. If it did then it would come as no surprise, seeing as little clubs like theirs never do end up ending the season on a romantic note anyways. It's either an injury to their top striker or their boss being accused of tapping up a player. In any case, the powers that be will find something to stuff the little-lings lower on the table so that the big guns can maintain their big-ass sponsorship contracts.
Anyone noticed that Big Sam's suits started getting more and more stylish? Hmmm ...
