The spectre of improper agent conduct has raised it’s ugly head at Bolton Wanderers with the proposed purchase of midfielder Idan Tal from Maccabi Haifa. Manager Sam Allardyce’s son Craig, a football agent, has been implicated by agent Ronen Katsav who has plans to sue Tal for reneging on a previous agreement that he had secured for him.

Craig Allardyce is reputedly devastated at bringing his father’s name into disrepute while he is being touted as one of the number one contenders to replace Sven Goran Eriksson as England manager and both father and son have strenuously denied any wrongdoing in the transfer.

Craig has now decided to not have any part in transfer dealings concerning Bolton while his father remains manager in an effort to put some distance between the two and avoid any potential embarassing situations like this in the future.
