England's Football Association said today it was launching a series of investigations into corruption allegations made by a BBC television programme.
Tuesday's Panorama claimed 18 unnamed current or former Premier League managers had been given money or "bungs" from transfers, with two agents implying on the programme that Bolton Wanderers manager Sam Allardyce had taken them.
Allardyce has denied any wrongdoing.
The FA said it 'takes any allegations of corruption in the game extremely seriously,' and would launch one set of investigations jointly with the Premier League and another purely on its own.
With the Premier League, the FA will look at allegations of illegal approaches made to players involving Chelsea's director of youth football Frank Arnesen, Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp, Liverpool and Newcastle United.
