H eds, first time poster here.

Was just wondering what your opinions are on news about JF Hasselbank and Cellino? obviously doesn't look good on their parts being implicated but seems to me that the Telegraph have made some false accusations about them

By the way I'm not defending Cellino everyone knows he is proper dodgy but doesn't seem to do much wrong here other than bad mouth English football.

{Ed001's Note - hmmm not sure why you say false accusations? This is a known problem in football and it is about time someone investigated. Last time when Panorama did so the findings were swept under the carpet: the FA and FIFA failed to investigate these 17 suspicious transfers

Thanks for the reply ed. Just on the tele they are saying Cellino was offering to sell part of Leeds instead of taking part in third party ownership and Hasselbank was only just negotiating to do a speech, but that's why I asked because thought I must have been missing something because they wouldn't mention names without anything concrete. I had a look at the 2006 scandal and the FA deserve all the trouble they are getting after giving Big Sam the job with all his and his sons dodgy dealings there for all to see.

{Ed001's Note - there is a lot more than has been made public. The Torygraph are not going to go public with these kind of allegations unless they have evidence. There is too much at stake, as they could easily be sued. They only started the investigation after being given reason to do so.}

Hi Eds,

Whats your take on the allegations of Spanish football doping in recent times?

{Ed001's Note - it is not just Spanish football, it is all football. They were just the ones caught, though no one is doing anything about it.}

Based on those transfers and something ED002 said yesterday about a high profile manager being investigated, unless I am reading the situation incorrectly, I assume Mourinho is the man?

{Ed025's Note - i think you may be adding 2+2 together and coming up with 5 there mate..

2+2=5 can be true for anyone who has read 1984.

Ranieri says he is the one who did the work to get Drogba in, but he was signed during Mourinho's reign.

Great article ed I was wandering if Ferguson would be one or more like I hope Ferguson would be one of the mangers from the past . Wouldn't it be great and strip old red nose of his knighthood.

I think even if ferguson has been part of it, a quick bit of money in the right guys pocket will make him safe. he's no daft bloke, I can't see it coming out that he's dodgy, we all know he is. would be great to see it in black and white but i seriously doubt that'll ever happen. We can dream. Should this dream come true i'm putting the lottery on.
