Head of Team Strategy & Performance Dave Reddin continued to preside over a "culture of fear and bullying" at the FA after undergoing training to change his leadership style, it was claimed on Wednesday. After details of "serious allegations" made against Reddin by an anonymous whistleblower last October were revealed on Tuesday, it emerged that concerns about his behavior were raised "more than a year beforehand." Reddin is said to have been enrolled in a personal development program as a result but two of his alleged victims said that "the bullying or intimidation they endured occurred months later" (London TELEGRAPH, 10/10).
Belgian investigators questioned the country's "most influential" football agent, Mogi Bayat, on Thursday, a day after he and senior figures in Belgian football were detained on "suspicion of financial fraud and possible match-fixing." At the same time, a Belgian judge was deciding whether or not to charge roughly 25 people, including the coach of Club Brugge, the former GM of Anderlecht, referees and other officials. Some "could be kept in custody" (REUTERS, 10/11).
