West Brom's Tony Pulis calls on FA to act quickly following corruption claims

A series of undercover stings by The Telegraph newspaper has led to the exit of England boss Sam Allardyce after just 67 days in the job, while several other figures across the top two divisions stand accused of breaching the rules.

Pulis believes it is now imperative the authorities assess the evidence and take the necessary action in the wake of the scandal.

"Just on the football front, me personally I'm very disappointed," he said.

"Sam's worked all his life for 30 years his ambition was to become eventually England manager. He's got the job and he's lost it.

"All the rest of it that surrounds it, that we've been reading about and seeing, it's now time for the FA and governing bodies to take that information, analyse and assess it and then act on what they think is right and wrong.

"I'm a football person and let's get back to talking football and leave all that stuff to the governing bodies."

Barnsley have sacked assistant manager Tommy Wright after he was named in the investigation, while Southampton are investigating assistant boss Eric Black after it was claimed he gave undercover reporters advice on how to bribe officials.

The Telegraph meanwhile claim to have collected evidence of eight current and former Premier League managers having received transfer bungs.

Pulis added: "I think everything should go to the governing bodies and they should assess and take appropriate action."
