I thought 'Arry Redknapp was due to be shafted in this programme ?
Perhaps the BBC lawyers got worried ?
AAhhh - he's on now

I see they haven't so far been brave enough to take on Alex Ferguson and his agent son, Jason.

Funny how one fan blames the BBC for this, well maybe your manager should nt take bungs, I wonder if th FA knew about this film before they gave the job to SM

This is how deals are made, it's quite interesting to see it going on on film. I've seen nothing that's really out of order, a fair bit of rule bending and some managers taking a cut for employing the agents, but that's it.Kinky Gerbils said:

Already been done. Fergie won't speak to the BBC because of itLush said:
I've not given it my full attention over the past hour but it all seems very weak to me with no real evidence or substantiation.

Promised much, delivered little. Proved it goes on, produced hardly any evidence. They bottled it.

They went for the easy targets
If what I saw (ie nothing) is correct then I imagine they have set back the chances of anyone actually uncovering this whole bung thing quite a few years ,as anyone involved becomes ultra-careful from now on.

They got nothing on Redknapp. The guy even said "we're looking to set up an agency that does everything properly", and then offered him a private jet to the World Cup - Redknapp doesn't turn it down, shock horror. Oh, and he likes Andy Todd. Complete waste of time, proved nothing.
Plenty of agents mentioning Allardyce liking a bung, and his son made no bones about having an "inside track" on doing deals involving his dad - and the fact that he's since resigned from all dealings on behalf of Bolton is interesting. I think Sam Allardyce is going to have some awkward questions to answer, and it looks to me like his son may have dropped him in the shit. They have, on camera, Allardyces son writing out a list of players, some Boltons, who's transfers he was directly involved with, but his name does not appear on the official paperwork that was filed with the FA. Meaning he got his "cut" from the deals illegally.
If any of that ties in directly with Big Sam, then he's finished. HOWEVER, they didn't get the big scene-stealing moment with Sam, or any other manager, that they were clearly after. As Simster says, its a series of excuses about "bad luck" with Newell blowing the whistle on the night this manager was supposed to be turning up for his bung. At the moment its just agents, and his son, SAYING that Allardyce is involved in these deals with bungs. With no actual paper trail to prove it, or anything on film, it'll probably be brushed off as heresay.

But then they played back the telephone conversation with Kevin Bond which kind of implicates both of them.

No it doesn't - because the guy asked Bond if he'd spoken to Harry about it yet, and he said he hadn't !Gully said:

"kind of" is a very, very loose description of it. At no point did Bond say they were interested in taking money from the agent. At no point did they take money from the agent. Innocent.
