Football agent Giuseppe Pagliara said in a conversation secretly recorded by an undercover reporter that he thanked former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson for fixing a UEFA Champions League game with a Rolex watch.
Per the Press Association (h/t the Guardian), Pagliara said Ferguson fixed a fixture between the Red Devils and Juventus. It's then alleged the Scotsman accepted a £30,000 watch.
The claims came to light in a trial for Pagliara, former Barnsley assistant manager Tommy Wright and agent Dax Price in Southwark. The trio are being investigated for bribery, a charge which they all deny.
