Having previewed their programme in the way that only the BBC seem to think isn't advertising we all held our collective breathes to hear the damning evidence.
Of course the only surprise was ......well there were no surprises. Graham Taylor summed up the whole case nicely the following day. In "cash business" it would be surprising if there weren't a few dodgy people - I paraphrase.
What will happen next. I guess very little. Sam Allardyce will have left no trail, if indeed there is any wrong doing. Craig Allardyce will most probably be grounded. The FA will look toothless and foolish, beuase that's the way the media would like to be and one thing the programme showed was that anybody taking a bung is very very careful.
My question would be how many people are really bothered by bungs. Journalists for sure their agenda is surely a most compelling case study in envy dressed as integrity. But surely fans are really only interested in what happens between the first and last whistle of each game. As for tarnished game - I guess it got a little more interesting on Tuesday night if anything.
