8 managers tapped up by the Telegraph

[DJ NOBO]

Adam Hinshelwood signing looked very odd, as it was Adam Virgo.

Poor Hinsh. He looked a real talent for a short period. He could still have been playing for the albion now if it wasn't for injury

Thought he was the best youngster we had for ages , was it knee injuries that done him ?

 

[Buzzer]

Yeah that Adam Hishelwood signing did look a bit odd, though from what I saw he actually acquitted himself okay in that dogshit league.

Going even further back you could question the Mark Beeney transfer, him of the sliced goal kick, to Leeds for a questionable amount of cash.

Wasn't that a hastily cobbled together move engineered between manager friends so that Brighton could pay their VAT bill and stave off a winding-up order?

Yep.

Howard Wilkinson doing us a huge favour.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Didn't Strachan buy a player from us when McGhee was our manager in 2005 for £1.5m but hardly played him at Celtic. Seemed a bit odd at the time.

Didn't seem odd at all at the time. Seemed for all the work like old mates giving each other a nod and a wink and redistributing a bit of wealth from cash-rich Celtic to skid-row Albion on the back of Adam Virgo's highly unlikely transformation from plodding defender to top goal scorer. That deal probably near-enough saved the club at the time.Would be very surprised if either manager made so much as a bean out of the deal. Both good guys in my book until proven otherwise.

Yes.
It was either a winding-up order from Inland Revenue or Customs and Excise. The club was hovering on the brink and were only hours away from closure. He was the only asset that could have realised the sort of money needed. Mark Beeney saved the club.

Thirty odd years ago there was a chairman and manager of a certain North London club ( between Borehamwood and Enfield ) who had no qualms in thrashing out their personal terms, before it ever got round to discussing the player involved. I knew people who had dealings with them and their behaviour was common knowledge then. The chairman used to deal in cash only and is no longer with us. The manager is still very active in football today.

Barry Fry and Stan Flashman?

 

[Ernest]

So he now says he is lying and made it all up, will Allardyce be reinstated and the Barnsley bloke too ?

Unlikely, they were both caught on video. The 8 were only named by the agent, as far as we know.

 

[vegster]

Stand down everyone.... it was a GENUINE hoax.... obviously someone else has now been bought off !

They can say they were lying too

More of a shock if he wasn't in the list (so far the list I posted is correct)

Quite active in the non-league transfer market?

 

[drew]

Yes.
It was either a winding-up order from Inland Revenue or Customs and Excise. The club was hovering on the brink and were only hours away from closure. He was the only asset that could have realised the sort of money needed. Mark Beeney saved the club.

Beeney was a very good goalkeeper though.

Another player sold to stave of financial embarrassment was Dean Saunders.

I agree. And yes it was the famous Hinshelwood knees that put paid to his career.
