The programme, called Undercover: Football's Dirty Secrets, was aired on the same night that Bolton beat Walsall 3?1 in the Football League Cup, so he missed the original showing. As a result of the allegation, Allardyce refused to speak to the BBC. While he also stated he was going to sue the broadcaster in order to clear his, Allardyce failed to issue libel proceedings, allowing the year-long window following the show's broadcast to expire.
