After exposing the avarice of Sam Allardyce on Monday (which resulted in Allardyce losing his job as England manager less than 24 hours later), the Telegraph's investigation into corruption in the Premier League has continued today with a story based on undercover reporting and interviews with agents working in and around English soccer. Speaking to Italian agent Pino Pagliara and his business partner Dax Price, as well as former Manchester United player turned agent Scott McGarvey, the paper built the case that managers across the league were taking bribes, which for some quaintly British reason are called "bungs." Honestly, the word "bung" appears a whole lot in the thing.EXCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION: English manager was sacked by his club after being caught with "fingers in the till" https://t.co/NQALVrPFRk
