FA cool on Curbs bung claims

THE Football Association would welcome any evidence from Alan Curbishley to back up his claim that he was once offered a bung.

As yet there are no plans to haul the former Charlton boss in to aid an inquiry into illegal payments, prompted by Luton manager Mike Newell’s similar allegations last season.

Following Curbishley’s revelations in his autobiography, an FA statement read: “If Alan Curbishley wants to provide us with evidence to support this claim, we will look into it.”
