Neil Warnock has denied allegations from former player Jason Puncheon that he requested payments to pick players.
Claims that Warnock, currently managing Cardiff City, asked players to pay him to play were raised before a committee of MPs on Monday.
Puncheon had posted a claim on Twitter than Warnock paid members of his squad extra wages and appearance money to make sure they pay him to "get in the team or on the bench".
Puncheon played under Warnock at Crystal Palace in 2014 and also during a loan spell at Queens Park Rangers in 2011.
The tweets were later deleted and Puncheon was fined £15,000 by the Football Association as well as being warned about his future conduct.
But a statement from Warnock said: "These allegations are completely and utterly false.
"The FA Commission considered all of the evidence in detail in 2014 and it found that the allegations which were published about me were unfounded. Any suggestion that the FA failed to investigate this matter is simply untrue.
"In fact, Mr Puncheon apologised to me and removed the allegations from his Twitter account. The FA fined him £15,000 and he was warned as to his future conduct.
"I am disappointed that these allegations have been repeated after Mr Puncheon's apology and after the FA investigated fully. If anyone had asked me the truth before publication, I would have pointed them to the FA website, where the facts are all easily accessible."
Damian Collins, acting chairman of the parliamentary culture, media and sport committee, asked FA chairman Greg Clarke whether the governing body had a "lack of curiosity" about the accusations of wrongdoing which had been made public in recent years.
Collins quoted Puncheon's tweets, which were in response to criticism by Warnock of him on a radio programme, and said: "What I won't accept is an opinion from a man who's crooked and ruining the game - Neil Warnock, the man who signs players, gives them extra wages n app bonus to make sure they pay him to get in the team or on the bench.
"The fact he could even talk about training is shocking, he was never there."
Collins asked Clarke why he had not investigated the allegations by contacting Puncheon instead of fining the player.
Clarke said he had not been in his job at the time, and was unaware of what had happened, to which Mr Collins replied: "I think it would be pretty poor if someone has gone public and they don't have any contact from the FA asking why have they made this allegation."
