Eight current or former Premier League managers have been accused of taking bungs, as The Telegraph continues to reveal findings from it's investigation into corruption within British football.
The news comes just 24 hours after the newspaper released videos of now ex-England manager Sam Allardyce talking, unbeknownst, to undercover reporters about ways in which to circumvent third party ownership deals in football.

Football agents have now been filmed by the undercover team revealing that they've paid numerous managers off, with one agent claiming "everything is under the table" in football.
The Telegraph is also set to disclose the name of an assistant manager at a leading club who was caught on film accepting a £5,000 cash payment from the reporters posing as representatives of a Far East firm that wanted to invest in players.
On top of the eight Premier League managers who have been open to bungs, two Championship managers are set to be incriminated in the findings, too. Italian agent Pino Pagliara, who is currentlly banned from conducting transfers and was banned from football for five years after being found guilty of match fixing in 2005, has been filmed talking about his reliance on the "greed" of football managers.

Commenting on the level of corruption within the English game, Pagliara said "Here it's even worse... I thought the Italians were corrupt."
Some details about the managers involved have been shared by The Telegraph, with names expected to be released in the coming weeks.
