England manager Sam Allardyce has been implicated in a ten-month investigation into corruption in English football by the Telegraph, the full details of which will be revealed over the coming days.
According to the Telegraph, the undercover reporters posed as businessmen purporting to represent a Far East firm looking to get involved in the Premier League transfer market and that Allardyce offered advice on how to get around FA rules prohibiting third party ownership of players.
During the course of two meetings, which took place shortly after his appointment as England manager, Allardyce’s agent can also be seen negotiating a deal worth £400,000 on his behalf and it is believed that a follow-up meeting took place at a Manchester restaurant last week.
Allardyce is also alleged to have made comments about Roy Hodgson, Gary Neville and Prince Harry that might raise an eyebrow or two and he did not respond to questions from the Telegraph 12 hours before going to press.
