Barnsley - A British newspaper investigation has led to a second
soccer coach getting fired in England.
Two days
after Sam Allardyce lost his job as England manager following an undercover
operation by the Daily Telegraph, second-tier club Barnsley fired assistant
coach Tommy Wright.
Wright
was filmed apparently accepting an envelope which the Telegraph said contained
£5,000 pounds from a fake Asian firm to help place players at the
northern club. Video footage was released by the newspaper late Wednesday and
Wright was immediately suspended by Barnsley.
The club
had a meeting with the coach on Thursday and said "after considering Mr Wright's
response to allegations in today's Daily Telegraph about breaching FA rules
over player transfers, Mr Wright was dismissed."
Barnsley
says "the club was unaware of such matters or involved in any
wrongdoing."
