At a glance: Football bung report
|
Lord Stevens has delivered his report into alleged illegal payments in football transfers following an extensive and high-profile inquiry.
THE INQUIRY
- 362 transfers examined by Lord Stevens
- Some agents have failed to respond
- Several bank accounts have been investigated
FURTHER INQUIRIES
- 17 transfers are to be further examined by Lord Stevens
- Inquiries are ongoing so clubs under continuing investigation are not yet being named
- Lord Stevens wishes to see further details from more sources outside of football clubs, such as agents and other third parties
LORD STEVENS' RECOMMENDATIONS
- Total of 39 recommendations have been made
- These include the creation of a body to handle the audit of transfers, instead of the Football Association
- Any scant regard for the rules is "unacceptable"
- Relatives "should not be paid" in deals
- Criminal investigations not endemic in Premiership
- Professional Footballers' Association should not act as agents
