Wiki actually summarises it quite well:
"Corruption allegations
2006 Panorama investigation
Main article: 2006 English football corruption investigation
On 19 September 2006, Allardyce, and his son, Craig, were implicated in a BBC Panorama documentary, Undercover: Football's Dirty Secrets, which alleged that he had taken bribes from agents for signing certain players. Two agents, Teni Yerima and Peter Harrison, were secretly filmed, each separately claiming that they had paid Allardyce through his son. Allardyce denied ever taking, or asking for, a bribe.[220] Others implicated of wrongdoing were Harry Redknapp, Kevin Bond, and Frank Arnesen.[221] As a result of the allegation, Allardyce refused to speak to the BBC.[222] While he also stated he was going to sue the broadcaster to clear his name,[223] Allardyce failed to issue libel proceedings as he was advised that suing for damage to reputation was a costly and time-consuming process.[224] The final report of the Stevens inquiry published in June 2007 expressed concerns regarding the involvement of Craig Allardyce in a number of transactions, stating that: "The inquiry remains concerned at the conflict of interest that it believes existed between Craig Allardyce, his father Sam Allardyce–the then manager at Bolton–and the club itself."[225] Allardyce stated that the inquiry was a public relations exercise and that the conclusion of a "conflict of interest" was "innuendo, without any facts".[226]
2014 Ravel Morrison situation
In February 2014, Daniel Taylor, chief football writer for The Guardian and The Observer, wrote that West Ham player and England prospect Ravel Morrison felt he had come "under considerable pressure" from Allardyce to sign up with football agent Mark Curtis, who represented Allardyce himself and a number of other West Ham players, including Kevin Nolan, James Tomkins, Jack Collison, Matt Jarvis, Andy Carroll, and Jussi Jääskeläinen.[227] Curtis had been charged and eventually cleared by the Football Association during the 2008 investigation into Luton Town's illegal transfer dealings.[227] Curtis responded to the allegations by saying they were "nonsense", while Allardyce talked of Morrison complaining about "a groin injury" while the club's medical staff could find "no problem",[227] and made a reference to the player's "disciplinary issues in the past".[228] Morrison was eventually loaned out to Championship side Queens Park Rangers for the remainder of the 2013—14 season.[229]
2016 Daily Telegraph investigation
Main article: 2016 English football scandal
In September 2016, Daily Telegraph reporters posing as businessmen filmed Allardyce, who had recently been appointed the manager of the England football team, allegedly offering to give advice on how to get around on FA rules on player third party ownership and negotiating a £400,000 deal, subject to FA approval.[3][230] As a result, he left his job as England manager by mutual agreement with the FA after just one game in charge.[231]
Robert Sullivan, Director of Strategy at the FA, later confirmed to the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee that Allardyce's comments were "a factual, correct statement around the laws of the English game and having third-party ownership"[232]
Following a review by City of London Police, Allardyce was cleared of any wrongdoing, with The Daily Telegraph also clarifying that it "did not suggest that Allardyce had broken the law", though he agreed that he had been "a fool".[233]
Speaking to The Observer, Martin Glen, CEO of the FA, said that "it is a tragedy that we have ended up having to part company with him [Allardyce] over the, the — you know — entrapment".[234]" |  |

I think even before the stuff above there were rumours around his somewhat "creative" practices in his approach to transfer dealings.. It was said that the with the original BBC allegations were just the stuff that they felt they had sufficient evidence to prove should it go to court (Something Fat Sam notably failed to do despite the threats). There was suggestion that there was quite a lot of other information that they had uncovered which was more difficult to substantiate, but was likely to come out if it went to trial.
I wouldn't want him near our club ever, he makes Redknapp look almost trustworthy and honourable. Almost. | |

I was unaware of all that slime coating his name. I don't use wiki or keep that clued up on the Wire. Thanks for the heads up Stu. |  |

Mark Hughes, who has never been relegated has put his name forward. |
Really? I wouldn't wish that weapon on any club.
Oh hang on, perhaps just one  . Can you guess which one? |  |

Childhood Wolves supporter Allardyce. That'll go down like a bacon sandwich at a barmitzvah with their fans before you even get to the football style. Poor sods, Tony Pulis followed a few years later by Allardyce.
Suspect he'll be 'tolerated' much like George Graham was by Spurs fans ("man in raincoat's blue and white army"). |  |

Baggies really deserve to fail with that appointment. One of the most corrupt managers in football (alledgely) and an awful playing style. May keep them up, but suspect it is likely to be a temporary phase. |
That's why he's signed as he's known for keeping teams up. |  |

I think he's next up for the Watford job, dave, when they lose two games on the bounce. [Post edited 18 Dec 2020 9:53]
