England coach Sam Allardyce in big trouble after being filmed negotiating £400k deal with reporters posing as agents (video)
The English Football
Association is investigating allegations England manager Sam Allardyce used his
role as manager to negotiate a £400,000 deal and offer advice on how to
"get around" rules on player transfers after the Telegraph released a
video last night showing him talking to undercover Telegraph reporters posing
as agents from the Far East.
Over the course of two
meetings which were secretly filmed, Allardyce told the fictitious businessmen
that it was “not a problem” to bypass the rules on transfers introduced by the
FA in 2008.
Allardyce said he knew
of certain agents who were “doing it all the time” and added: “You can still
get around it. I mean obviously the big money’s here.”
Allardyce, who as at the
time of filming had not even taken charge of his first England
game, negotiated a deal with men purporting to represent a Far East
company that was hoping to profit from the Premier League’s billion-pound
transfer market.
Allardyce will have to
explain to the FA whether he was giving an honest account of what happened
in the sport or if he was advising the “businessmen” to follow those illegal
practices.
In the video, Allardyce
also hit out at former England coach Roy Hodgson calling him 'Woy' while also
blasting the FA’s decision to rebuild Wembley as “stupid”
He also described Gary
Neville, Hodgson’s assistant, as “the wrong influence.
