The League Manager's Association have now come out in support of the managers accused of taking bungs in the BBC's Panorama programme stating suffered from a lack of concrete evidence.
The LMA has also called for the BBC to supply any evidence to the ongoing Stevens inquiry which is set to issue a preliminary report on bungs in football to The Premier League on October 2.
"As the organisation which represents professional football managers in this country, we were very disappointed with the BBC Panorama programme screened last night," read the statement on the LMA website.
"There was a complete lack of substance and evidence to the pre-programme assertions and claims which were being made. If the BBC has any hard evidence then it should hand that evidence to The Football Association and Lord Stevens.
"All our members are fully aware of their responsibilities and of the need to act professionally and with the utmost integrity at all times.
"There has been considerable debate about the transparency of the football transfer system and the role of agents both in this country and abroad.
"The LMA supports any full and thorough investigation into these issues and welcomes the publication of the Lord Stevens report in the near future.
"If there is any evidence of financial misconduct within football then let it be brought out into the open and the guilty parties treated accordingly."
Sam Allardyce and Harry Redknapp, as well as all the agents involved the programme, have denied any wrongdoing.
