The Football Association have launched an investigation into QPR manager Ian Holloway's claims he was offered a bribe to push through a player's transfer.
The FA will address the issue, which follows a week after Luton boss Mike Newell's claims about a widespread bung culture, as a matter of priority and will be contacting Holloway this morning.
The QPR manager will be asked to give evidence to investigators from the FA's compliance unit that he was offered money to push through the free transfer of Argentinian full-back Gino Padula from Jerez.
An FA spokesman told: "We will be contacting Ian Holloway to request a meeting. We take these matters very seriously and our compliance department will thoroughly investigate any evidence of wrongdoing or breaches of regulation.
"We would expect anyone who has evidence of any wrongdoing to come forward."
As the transfer was an international one, it will almost certainly fall under FIFA's jurisdiction.
The spokesman added: "If necessary we will pass on any information to FIFA and other national associations."
Former Rangers chairman Nick Blackburn has backed up Holloway's claims....
Blackburn, who was in control of QPR at the time, said such incidents were not isolated...."I heard stories all the time when I was chairman. I'm very disappointed the game has to endure this....Blackburn added: "Ian told me because he is an honest guy, but how many more of these deals happen behind the scenes when people are not so honest? It is an appalling state of affairs and it leaves me sickened. "I applaud Mike Newell for coming forward - and yet what happened to him? People turned on him. "We need to try to clear up the game."
