I don't really follow football that closely, but I have been hearing/reading a lot about the bungs that are allegedly given to managers in return for players using different agents etc etc
What is the implication for English football if it turns out that premiership managers have been accepting bungs? european bans? fines? relegation? or nothing at all apart from bad press/ruined reputations?

Harry Redknapp is the No1 Bung taker. Can't see Pompey sacking him. |

There is no proof, the show is a right load of bollocks. We spent our money on the license fee for them to try stitch up people, very lame.

I watched some of it today and I drew the same conclusions as Acidmouse.

It was on Panorama tonight, they somehow made a one hour programme with almost zero content.
The BBC have embarassed themselves there.

I watched it at the weekend as it was leaked online so I kinda knew it was mainly crap.
The only interesting stuff was Chelski tapping up youngsters, they just bribed two away from Leeds and are under investigation for it.
The rest was people trying to act big, be polite and do the normal stuff that happens in football. Why bleep out so many names? becasue there was NO proof.

I have to agree with the other comments - the programme was very weak.
'Some agents take under-the-counter money!!' - they're football agents, almost crooks by definition.
'We reckon Big Sam and Harry Redknapp are dodgy, but we can't really prove it!!' - Jeez, tell us something that everyone interested in football didn't already know.
To slightly offer a defence for the programme makers, they were shafted by the fact that two big bung stories blew up in the press while they were making it, meaning everyone got more on their guard.
Also, if you're going to use a hidden camera which looks like a red button, surely it's best to use it on a jacket where all the buttons are red, so that someone doesn't spot it...

Big Sam is 6/5 to get the sack. He was 16/1 before the game yesterday

there is no doubt that footie is a very corrupt business but that is the nature of the beast.
See, in business I have been wined and dined by people who want to sell me something regularly. What they told Redknapp. "We'll fly you out to the WC and put you in a swanky hotel" there's nothing illegal about that. Crickey big business works that way, it is easier to make a sale when the other guy likes you...it's why Directors and corperate boxes were invented for christ' sake.
Also this tapping up bollox is nothing more than rubbish. When I worked for IBM compaq and Dell called me all the time to see if I was interested in working for them..it might not be nice but that's the way business works. Clubs should simply put penalty clauses in people's contracts for when a player wants to leave before it expires..that would put an end to most of it.
