BARNSLEY, England -- A British newspaper investigation led to a second soccer coach getting fired in England on Thursday.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 ($6,500) 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.After considering Mr. Wrights response to allegations in todays Daily Telegraph about breaching (Football Association) rules over player transfers, Mr. Wright was dismissed, the club said after a meeting with the coach on Thursday.Barnsley said it was unaware of such matters or involved in any wrongdoing.The English Football Association decided to terminate Allardyces contract on Tuesday after video showed him appearing to offer advice to fictitious businessmen on how to sidestep an outlawed player transfer practice, and also negotiating a 400,000 pound ($519,000) public-speaking contract to top up an annual England salary of 3 million pounds ($4 million).English soccer is reeling after four days of accusations by the Telegraph following its months-long investigation into alleged wrongdoing in the game.In Fridays edition, the newspaper published an article with video of Southamptons assistant manager, Eric Black, allegedly telling undercover reporters that he knew a colleague at a second-tier club who could be persuaded to pass on information for a couple of grand (thousand pounds) about players to a fictitious company that wanted to represent footballers.The Telegraph said Black denied wrongdoing.Before the article was published, Southampton said it was aware Black would feature in the latest allegation, and had requested to be sent details. The club said the Telegraph declined to share any further information, and it contacted the FA and the Premier League.Second-tier Queens Park Rangers is investigating footage that appeared to show its coach, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, seeking a fee of 55,000 pounds ($71,600) to work for a fake Far Eastern firm that suggested selling players to the second-tier London club.Hasselbaink denied any wrongdoing, saying he was offered a fee to make only a speech in Singapore and did not ask QPR to sign players said to have been represented by the fake firm. QPR said it had every confidence in Hasselbaink, and its chief executive and director of football spoke to Hasselbaink on Thursday to get his version of events.QPR said it wanted to view an unedited version of the video footage and a full transcript.Hasselbaink, a former Chelsea and Leeds striker, will prepare the QPR team for the league match against Fulham on Saturday.The Daily Telegraph also filmed an agent accusing 10 managers, which it did not name, of taking bribes linked to player transfers.

Nike Flyknit Clearance Sale .com) - The red-hot Los Angeles Kings will try to extend their winning streak to a season-high seven games when they visit the Edmonton Oilers for Sundays clash at Rexall Place. Cleveland ended Atlantas season each of the last two years, but the team coming to Quicken Loans Arena on Tuesday night looks far different than the Hawks that the Cavaliers swept out of the playoffs each of the last two years.The Cavs have won the last 11 meetings between the teams, including a sweep in the conference semifinals last spring when they set 3-point shooting records and won each game by an average of 12.5 points. Cleveland swept all seven meetings last season, including the playoffs.Jeff Teague and Al Horford are gone from Atlanta, replaced in the starting lineup by Dwight Howard and Denis Schroder. Kyle Korver is also expected to miss Tuesdays game after the birth of a son on Sunday.Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer, who also has a role in personnel decisions, said the roster shakeup wasnt an effort to simply get past the Cavaliers.You are constantly trying to get better, Budenholzer told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. We feel like this is a group that can be better. It has the potential to be more physical, hopefully even better defensively, more edgy.Can we still draw on the positives, the high IQ that weve had for two or three years and the unselfishness that weve had for two or three years and add a little more physical presence? Well need that if we are playing Detroit, if were playing Milwaukee, if were playing Miami, if were playing Memphis in the West.Im hoping that this combination of players is something that is going to be very good.The Cavs are the leagues last remaining unbeaten team at 6-0. They have displayed a habit of blowing big leads in games, allowing teams such as the Sixers, Celtics and Magic to fight back after building leads around 20 points or more.Coach Tyronn Lue believes the Cavs can almost score too easily at times and then they quit working as hard on the defensive end.dddddddddddd Cleveland is tied atop the league rankings in scoring with Golden State, averaging 112.3 points per game.But Lue believes the Cavs can be even better offensively. Guys like Mike Dunleavy and J.R. Smith have missed open looks theyll usually make, and Kyrie Irving is coming off a 3-of-17 shooting performance in Saturdays win at Philadelphia.I think were getting shots we want and not making them, Lue said. Our shooters are getting open shots, were running the floor, were playing unselfish, were sharing the basketball and were just not making shots at a high rate right now.We are making some 3s -- taking a lot of them -- but were not shooting the ball quite as well as what we could.Its early, but the Hawks lead the league in steals.James was named the Eastern Conference player of the week on Monday. Hes two for two this season in winning the award.As for the addition of Howard to the Hawks, Lue believes he can still be a dominant player in the NBA despite his recent injuries.Ive just seen a lot of great players suffer injuries and never quite get back to who they were, but hes still a dominant player, still one of top two or three centers in the NBA, Lue said. And when you get hit with the injury and you cant bounce back like you want to, its frustrating.The biggest thing for Dwight is hes been frustrated because he knew who he was as a young player, a young talent, and to not be able to reach his full potential because of the injury, thats tough for him.
