What Does Colin Know?
McClaren’s agent Colin Gordon is frustrated that no one has asked him what is going on in football related to bungs. He said that the lawmakers are laughable because they send out all these remarks and potential policies on something they do not have experience or knowledge of.
As reported by Tribalfootball, Colin said: The administrators suddenly jumping on the bandwagon are laughable.
The experts, the real experts, get ignored. I’ve been in this game all my life and I’m still waiting for someone to ask me a question.
They might be scared by what they find out, mind.
It is something you can’t prove and it is a waste of time and energy trying to do it. The game does not want to embarrass itself by lifting up the carpet and showing what’s been swept underneath.
You will never catch a manager out talking directly about it. There will be a line that you detect in a conversation and you immediately know where it is heading.
I’ve had that and pretended to be deaf and dumb for the next few minutes and talk about something else. It’s never referred to again. But you know it’s there.
I agree with Colin that this is going to be tough and FA pretends to be an expert of it and would push for policies that would appease the public. It’s their duty afterall, but the end result would not differ from what was caught today to what will continue to happen in the league.
