Bung scandal in English Premier League

Just thought this might be of some interest over here. The BBC aired a documentary last night which accused Bolton Wanderers manager Sam Allardyce of being a manager who loves a nice big juicy bung payment with his transfer deals. Make of all this what you will.

Two agents have claimed they made illegal payments to secure transfer deals with a former candidate for the England football manager's job. In an undercover BBC Panorama film, agent Teni Yerima says he bribed Bolton manager Sam Allardyce.

Agent Peter Harrison says he paid Mr Allardyce's son to secure deals with Bolton and Craig Allardyce is filmed boasting about access to his father.

Panorama also uncovered that three different Bolton transfer signings involved secret payments from agents to Craig Allardyce, some when he was contractually banned from doing any Bolton deals. The club has admitted it knew nothing about the manager's son getting a cut of the money in these deals.

In the secret filming Craig Allardyce told the undercover reporter: "I'll get the (player) profile and I'll walk straight into the office and sit down with me Dad. It's easy, it's easy."
