BBC television footage accusing "Bolton" strategist Sam Allardyce and two agents of corruption has caused a scandal in England.
In the BBC's "Panorama" show, titled "Secrets: The Dark Side of Football," footage was released in which, in addition to the aforementioned individuals, young players were also accused of trying to illegally attract the "Portsmouth" strategist Harry Redknapp and the director of London's "Chelsea" youth teams, Frank Arnesen.
Former assistant to H.Redknapp at "Portsmouth" Kevin Bond, in secretly recorded footage, revealed considering the possibility of taking money from a new agency represented by the player agent Peter Harrison, who is also actively mentioned in the scandal.
The scandalous BBC program aired on October 2, just before the "Premier" league released the results of an ongoing investigation into whether coaches are accepting bribes from player agencies.
It is believed that such practices are quite common in England - coaches unofficially receive a percentage of the transfer fee paid by the club.
The Football Association of England quickly responded to this scandal, requesting all material from the BBC that would "help investigate all allegations of corruption and take appropriate action."
All participants in the scandal deny their guilt.
