    If you can't see the ethical issue with it, then I can't help you.

    I can only assume given the Cryne and Hecky moments that they have been asked questions by the paper. Also I am assuming that the paper would have dangled this opportunity to bigger fish at our club who seem right now to not be implicated. However the comment that Cryne would have googled the agents name seems that he was contacted at some point prior to this breaking. All speculation of course but while it tarnishes our name it seems the club itself have been doing the right thing. Looking at the video the club need to act quickly and let QPR and Leeds get the headlines while they dither.

    BREAKING NEWS! - Football shown to be unethical & driven by greed!! I've posted above I'm NOT condoning anything TW, JFH or for that matter even what Allardyce did! You are talking ethical but last ask just that question:

    1. Are the Telegraph being ethical drip feeding the story (Allardyce first, then TW and still with a promise of more to come) or are they doing this purely to sell papers! If they were ethical wouldn't they have handed over everything to the Police / FA / relevant authorities before putting it all in the public domain?

    2. How have they targeted their individuals? Have they cast a net out and got a 1% catch or a 90% catch?

    3. We all know this kind of thing has been going on in Football for years & proven to the top level of FIFA but yet the powers that be have done NOTHING to fix it! Where's the ethics in this? The money & resulting greed being allowed to fester in football specifically around agents & transfer fees are the problem and can be resolved very easily by removing it! No more agents fees, players careers managed by the LMA & a clean out of corruption at every level of the game!!

    Let me re-iterate once again I AM NOT condoning any actions by anyone, I am just questioning the reasoning and ethics of how certain individuals have been brought into the media frenzy for purely tabloid sales!!

    The story here isn't one of truth, it's one of Individual stupidity & temptation in an industry full of greed & corruption led by the drive to sell newspapers by means of entrapment! It's the same old question of what do you do if you find £20 on the street corner? Do you hand it into the police, declare it in your tax returns or put it in your pocket?

    I don't doubt for a 2nd that Newspapers do it to sell newspapers and their indiscriminate targeting of individuals is somewhat questionable, however Tommy is in the wrong here, and has only himself to blame. What it looks like he has done is illegal and unethical in the extreme.

    No sympathy from me and I'm utterly ****** off that he's brought shame on our club. He's brought shame on himself, but I'm comfortable with that as he has chosen the path which he has taken.

    His body language on the videos showed me as well that he knew that what he was doing was wrong. Maybe his intentions were about getting better players to the club, but we don't do that by circumnavigating the rules. He was on the verge of implicating 2 people in Hecky and PC, into a world which they didn't choose to be.

    No excuse and gross misconduct in any field.

    Of course they are doing it to sell papers, Thats why they do everything - its the same as why they did the MP's expenses stuff - it doesnt make it a less valuable story though.

    As for drip feeding it - its the right thing to do - if they dump it all at one go a couple of big names will catch all the headlines but no one would even notice the Tommy Wrights involved as well



    Good question - hope we get some answers - For BFC it seems they had a 33% sucess rate as Hecky and Cryne came out very well



    Err Yes it is



    Hardly a good analogy. If I saw someone drop £20 I'd return it, If I found a £20 under a seat with no one in sight and no chance of returning it I'd probably pick it up and have a wrestle with my conscience as to whether to keep it or stick it in a charity bucket, if someone offered me a grand in cash to influence a business decision I'd walk away
