Big Bungs

I finally managed to watch the episode of Panorama that has sparked a lot of talk about illegal money handling in football.

The sting outted a few Premier League managers and coaching staff members.

I am not sure how Sam Allardyce will be able to get away with this as the evidence seems to be immense. He has since announced his intention to sue the BBC over the allegations but I am sure the camera never lies and he, along with his son, are looking to be in major trouble with the English FA.

Harry Redknapp was another manager involved in the dealings but from what I saw I don't think he will end up being charged as the conversation taped doesn't really implicate him in any money deals.

The same cannot be said for Redknapp's former coaching staff member at Portsmouth. Kevin Bond was caught on tape seeking a bung. He was sacked from his new post at Newcastle United this morning so the investigation has resulted in sackings.
