Southampton Assistant Eric Black Implicated in FA Transfer Scandal

The Daily Telegraph has reportedly caught Southampton assistant manager Eric Black on camera providing guidance on how to bribe officials during transfer dealings.

Black is the latest high-profile figure to be caught up in the newspaper’s investigation into corruption in the game. The Daily Telegraph noted the 52-year-old “suggested that ‘a couple of grand’ might persuade a colleague at another club to pass on information about players to a company that wanted to represent footballers.”

The BBC’s Nick Sutton shared an image of the story on the Daily Telegraph’s front page:
