Sam Allardyce is a disgrace and needs to be punished, humiliated and made an example of. Therefore he should continue as England manager

The Torygraphy want a nice polite man in charge like Eddie Howe rather than a commoner from Dudley, Henry Winter was sticking the boot into him and biggin' new flavour of the month. One thing it highlights is how bad English coaches are, there's nobody to choose from that has a pot to their name. Have to go foreign.

Dragging on a bit.

Maybe those sources (like me) were too eager to get that you heard it here first thread

Still, seeing more revelations to come out, surely he can't stay.

Tuesday, 19 September 2006

Agent Peter Harrison says he paid Mr Allardyce's son to secure deals with Bolton and Craig Allardyce is filmed boasting about access to his father.

Sam Allardyce told the BBC he has never taken or asked for or received a bung.

He said he would not condone any breach of FA rules whatever personal affection he has for his son.

Diff-rent even if what he is doing is legal he should be sacked

If you worked at Tesco and started letting people know there was a glitch with an item say for instance a can of beer for £1 but when scanned it said 10p and you then go on to tell a group of your mates or whatever and they come and clean the shelves.

Then footage appears online of the conversation of you telling them about the glitch now decide if you would still be working in Tesco tomorrow.

Laugh

at the end of the day i q like big sam..he's not a total woose like woy and some of his predecessors
but talk about shooting urself in the foot
is there no beginning to this guy's greed ffs?
if it goes t1ts up has no one to blame other than himself
The FA knew about him so they're not blameless themselves

About right. Why else would someone who has worked for 20 years towards his lifetime ambition, and biggest salary, jeopardize it
for a dodgy looking deal.
Should be sacked for gross misconduct, with no pay off.

Checking Wiki, Allardyce is well into his 6th Decade in Football

He's virtually never been unemployed since the late 60s.

Must have a very large nest-egg

I used to like Allardyce, to an extent. But this is sheer greed. I hope the FA have the integrity to sack him and avoid paying him any more of his salary than they absolutely have to.
