It Ain't Necessarily So


Someone said to me the other day "I wonder if you'll end up like Karren Brady, the woman who broke the football glass ceiling by becoming managing director at Birmingham".

My response now would be "I hope not".

I don't know what to think of all the corruption allegations. Logically, given how much money is in football these days and how much is at stake, you could almost expect there to be some dodgy dealings. The question is how much and who is involved.

If some of the people that have been put in the frame so far turned out to be guilty that would be truly shocking, simply in terms of how high profile so many of them are.

It certainly seems to be a massive operation and investigation that is going on. All goes quiet for ages then a high profile arrest or two then all quiet again.

Of course simply levelling allegations does not make them true.

Just ask the owner of Fulham.

Good yes. As you say, where there's muck, there's brass. And......where there's brass....there's muck.

I think (for example) the ref may have been knobbled in the Man Utd/Roma game last night.

Further announcement: Brum City shares suspended, which is probably related.

Hey, that chairwoman's a bit of a hottie. Shame the co-owner bloke looks like a reject from the Kremlin.
