Sacked coach Bond vows to clear name

KEVIN BOND yesterday promised to clear his name after accusing Newcastle of sacking him without carrying out a full investigation into bungs allegations.

Glenn Roeder’s number two had his contract terminated as the fall-out from last week’s Panorama probe into corruption in football continued to have repercussions.

However, Bond, who has strenuously denied suggestions he was ready to discuss receiving illegal payments, revealed that his lawyers are ready to go to court to demand full transcripts from the BBC to prove his innocence.
