I don't understand the fuss being made over Tuesday's Panorama Special

Personally I think there's very little hard evidence shown in the program. I can't believe that they've named Sam Allardyce as a manager who takes bungs when they have no admission on his part (He isn't even in it.) Just the say so of agents who think they smell some money.

The only real scoop they have is in regards to the Middlesbrough academy player who Chelsea and Liverpool tried to poach. But they were too busy going after Big Sam to follow it up.

Harry Redknapp said to an agent that one of his players was the kind of footballer he'd like and that he'd be interested if he wanted to leave. That doesn't constitute an illegal approach as the player hasn't actually been approached, his agent approached Redknapp.

And why does Allardyce get the name dropping?

Several other Premier League managers were named by the agents but were bleeped out.

I should think the Beeb lawyers will have a busy few months ahead.

A couple of weeks earlier a completely different Panorama showed how Barry George had not received a fair trial. The evidence of this was indisputable but he's still rotting in jail with no news of a re-trial.

Why is it that the freedom of a potentially innocent man is less important than football?
