The BBC has started handing over evidence from the Panorama bungs programme to the Football Association. Panorama made allegations against several football figures, including Bolton boss Sam Allardyce and his son Craig, a former agent.
The BBC had said it would co-operate with requests from the FA.
An FA spokesman said: "We have started to receive some of the information
from the BBC and we will now begin the process of studying it."
Panorama's investigation claimed Allardyce and his son Craig, had received illegal transfer payments - allegations strenuously denied by the Bolton boss.
There were also accusations about agents touting players, and that club
officials, including Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp and Chelsea's sporting
director Frank Arnesen, were involved in unauthorised approaches for players.
The FA had started an investigation and was waiting for BBC evidence.
Those mentioned in the Panorama programme included:
Bolton manager Sam Allardyce. Two agents, Teni Yerima and Peter Harrison, claimed they paid him bungs, but Allardyce denies the allegations. Harrison also describes offering to pay money to Allardyce's son Craig, who Panorama claims received secret payments from agents during three transfer deals. Craig Allardyce denies any wrongdoing in his deals or relationship with the club. Harrison, filmed making claims about paying managers, now says that was just pub gossip and banter and added that he will sue the BBC. Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp was filmed talking about Blackburn defender Andy Todd, but denies his conversation amounted to 'tapping up'. Redknapp's assistant at Portsmouth at the time of the filming, Kevin Bond, was secretly recorded admitting he would consider discussing receiving payments from a proposed new agency involving Harrison. Bond says he is not interested in receiving bungs and has also announced plans to sue the BBC. Chelsea's director of youth football, Frank Arnesen, and officials from Liverpool, were shown discussing their interest in signing Middlesbrough's youth star Nathan Porritt. Newcastle were also implicated in the programme. Chelsea and Liverpool both deny breaking Football Association rules. Liverpool say they have taken legal advice.
Meanwhile, the FA also wants to contact Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston, after he claimed to have been offered bribes, and leading agent Jon Holmes who said managers had asked him for bungs.
