Good pod, but I think you're clutching at straws trying to see anything untoward about Hudson because he was at a game with Big Sam. Allardyce was hardly a ring leader and he's not going to rope in the former Bahrain and current NZ coach into some sort of transfer fee scandal. 5% of the transfer fee on a NZ player wouldn't even be the same as the interest on the money sitting in Big Sams bank account.
No guilty by association please. Sure, NZF should ask Hudson if he knew anything about what was going on, but if Hudson says no then leave it at that.
