Is all this fact mate? Some of it was known.. (Rafa, and CP's high opinion of himself) but the texts, the signings, picking the team, undermining roy?

Well I can't prove it if that's what you mean. Tony Barrett was certainly there when CP was showing texts he claimed were from players slagging off Rafa. He often would speak to Sky people saying we should be playing this player or that player, and when Rafa went he stepped things up, drawing up a list for Roy about who should leave and actually tried to line up moves for Lucas and I think another two players before Roy was appointed.

About November time I'm fairly sure (again can't prove it) he started leaking dressing room stuff about Hodgson and banal team prep he and his assistant whose name escapes me were giving - basically real old school sweary " get up and at em" type speeches with no tactics or actual game information bar keep it tight and keep your shape.

Thanks mate, good insights there. Any particular players slagging off Rafa?
 
How best to phrase this? Allegedly Purslow is alleged to have said that the texts were from Gerrard and Carra.

Really? Rafa had fallen that far from them? Poorly done by Purslow, but would they text him - they don't seem the type to trust a suit like him
