    Yup, I thought it was rife, right from FIFA at the very top all the way down. It's one of the main reasons I no longer watch much of the game anymore, other than Barnsley.

    Did I think our club was immune from hiring a corrupt employee?
    Nope. It's just about impossible to be that vigilant considering how widespread the corruption is.

    Do I think Tommy Wright represented our club?
    Nope. I can't remember ever hearing from him and I know next to nothing about him. Patrick Cryne and Paul Heckingbottom represent Barnsley FC (and Ben Mansford for the last couple of years).

    Do I think Barnsley FC is corrupt?
    Nope. Didn't before these allegations made against Tommy Wright and still don't now.

    So do I care?
    Nope.

    I'm just surprised anyone would risk it for 5 grand wouldn't even buy a round in London these days.

    As for the rest no couldn't agree more. No organisation can anticipate an individual acting unscrupulously and we dealt with it swiftly when it was uncovered.

    Perfectly happy with the way the club dealt with it - they haven't put a foot wrong, again. As for Tommy Wright, I hope I never hear of him again. He's nobody.

    You'll hear of him again. After Saturday's impending defeat, Garry Monk will be sacked. Cellino will appoint Sam Allardyce as his replacement, with Tommy Wright coming in as his assistant. You saw it here first ;)

    We've had corrupt individuals before Tommy Wright and will have after.
