Video of England coach Sam Allardyce in big trouble after being filmed negotiating £400k deal with reporters posing as agents

The English Football Association is investigating allegations England manager Sam Allardyce used his role as manager to negotiate a £400,000 deal and offer advice on how to "get around" rules on player transfers after the Telegraph released a video last night showing him talking to undercover Telegraph reporters posing as agents from the Far East.

Over the course of two meetings which were secretly filmed, Allardyce told the fictitious businessmen that it was “not a problem” to bypass the rules on transfers introduced by the FA in 2008.

Allardyce said he knew of certain agents who were “doing it all the time” and added: “You can still get around it. I mean obviously the big money’s here.”

Allardyce, who as at the time of filming had not even taken charge of his first England game, negotiated a deal with men purporting to represent a Far East company that was hoping to profit from the Premier League’s billion-pound transfer market.

Allardyce will have to explain to the FA whether he was giving an honest account of what happened in the sport or if he was advising the “businessmen” to follow those illegal practices.

In the video, Allardyce also hit out at former England coach Roy Hodgson calling him 'Woy' while also blasting the FA’s  decision to rebuild Wembley as “stupid” 

He also described Gary Neville, Hodgson’s assistant, as “the wrong influence.
