Manager says Academy players cheated???

[Gogglebox]

Just read the article in The Sun(page 67) with Alistair Budge's claims that some of the players deliberately threw the game against Keith when they lost 7-0 so he would get the sack

Anyone know whats behind this and if there is any truth in it or is it just sour grapes on the ex-managers part

Sounds as though the SFA maybe asked to look in to it

Definately seem like a club looking to regularly self implode if its not financial irregularities its now player irregularities

No matter what the players think of the manager they should never go out and throw a game, its not fair to the fans or the other teams in the league.
If its true the offending players should be banned from all levels of football
If its not true surely the accuser should get the same

It seems Wick Academy cannot get anything correct between the WADF and now this story it seems to be all bad publicity for them.

If the players have indeed been throwing games it is a disgrace why did they not just have a face to face meeting with there manager?I suppose that would have made too much sense typical of the youth of today really

Let's not wait for the truth or an investigation.
Let's just jump to any old conclusions.

I suppose that would have made too much sense typical of the youth of today really

And another thing , let's just make a few cliche-ridden generalising statements while we are at it.

Nothing like some reasoned observations to stir the blood eh?

I read this in yesterdays p&j and just thought it sounded like sour grapes but I am sure the truth will come out after an enquiry

Not everything you read/reported in paper is true. You have to wonder if ex-manager would have made these comments if he hadn't been sacked? I think he would have been sacked any way regardless of 7-0 drubbing as Wick Academy haven't improved in 3 years he was in charge not to say that they will improve with a new manager.

Academy have been a joke for a few years they had a Chairman who ran a Charity but would not reveal its bank account details to anyone and kept the club a closed shop by only letting him and his cronies into the commitee.He or the club are now being investigated by the SFA.

I said IF they had been throwing games not they had been throwing games which does not jump to any conclusions

Threw the game? Never, Academy are just terrible.
