Panorama Undercover Exposes Premiership Managers

Well, sort of. It looks like Sam Alladyce's son got a cut of a few deals for players sold to Bolton, and Newcastle's current assistant manager (funnily enough on personal leave for the last couple of weeks or so) was caught on film discussing taking illegal payments to sign a player.

I was informed last week that Newcastle might be implicated in this show, but apart from Bond (who was still working for 'Arry Redknap at Portsmouth at the time), it looks like we got off without anything major being uncovered. Of course, that doesn't mean Newcastle is innocent, but I bet Freddi had a couple of beers tonight when he realized he wasn't highlighted.
