The Telegraph set to release evidence of corruption in the Premier League withing the coming days

Someone on £3m a year to do an honest job?

Being greedy isn't illegal on its own, and he did say he'd have to run it past his employer first.

I'm sure the authorities (not footballing ones) will be taking a close interest, so any injunctions that high profile people manage to get to help stop their names coming out, won't be protected from arrest.

However other than be a bit of dick, I'm not sure Allardyce has been proved to have done anything illegal so far.

Quite right mate but I bet some of those supposed names are shitting bricks.Be like FIFA all over again but this time at club management level and on a greater scale.

I'm pretty sure 'plain entrapment' is any oxymoron, as it takes two to tango. Perhaps @casserole of nonsense will be able to provide some assistance

Can the police submit entrapment recordings or transcripts as prosecution evidence?

I agree, dont think BFS has done anything illegal at all, just completely lacking in tact or judgement, and from someone who had fallen for this before, he was very new to his job should have known better than getting his nose in the trough before the ink had dried on his contract. I think he has more or less admitted that in his resignation statement.

they're quite happy to set up entrapment schemes of their own to raise nicking rates....

Well if they've done something illegal I truly hope they are, its not as if those in football don't already earn enough, so if they are evading tax, and involved in possible corruption, they deserve all they have coming, just like me and you, if we were up to it.

This was not on any club's initiative as far as I'm aware. But that has been a case where a club did pass information to the authorities when they thought they were in danger of being screwed out of the league title.

Ok cheers PB ..

I wonder if there will be many Assistant Managers picking the teams for this weekends games. ;)

But in this case it looks as though The Telegraph has exposed a major story that see`s our game being placed in a bad light.Why shouldn`t they expose the corrupt bastards ? This story is not titillation its fraud/tax evasion on a high scale.

He said he could ruin the reputation of one former manager with what he knew about him, “because he’s very bent… I’ve got bank accounts of his, I’ve paid money to him, yeah course I did”.

He said the manager would call him and say “here’s the number”, and would then give him the details of a numbered account at a bank in Switzerland. “It was always numbered accounts,” he said. “I have opened so many Swiss bank accounts for managers that you wouldn’t believe.”

The same individual, who used to manage a high profile team, had also fixed a game, Mr Pagliara claimed. The manager’s representatives yesterday described the allegations as “completely false”. In several instances, he admitted that he had personally paid the officials “bungs” to secure deals.
