The Football Association has confirmed Sam Allardyce has left his position as England manager by mutual consent.

In a statement, the FA said: "Allardyce's conduct, as reported today, was inappropriate of the England manager.

"He accepts he made a significant error of judgement and has apologised. However, due to the serious nature of his actions, The FA and Allardyce have mutually agreed to terminate his contract with immediate effect."

ALLARDYCE STEPS DOWN AS ENGLAND MANAGER

Sam Allardyce has left his role as England manager less than three months after taking charge of the Three Lions.

Allardyce and the Football Association have mutually agreed to terminate the 61-year-old's contract in the wake of a sting operation conducted by undercover journalists working for the Daily Telegraph.

On Tuesday a report in The Daily Telegraph claimed Allardyce had told the reporters it was possible to "get around" an FA rule, introduced in 2008, banning third parties from owning part of a player's economic rights.

Sam Allardyce: "Further to recent events, the FA and I have mutually agreed to part company.

"It was a great honour for me to be appointed back in July and I am deeply disappointed at this outcome.

"This afternoon, I met with Greg Clarke and Martin Glenn and offered a sincere and wholehearted apology for my actions.

"Although it was made clear during the recorded conversations that any proposed arrangements would need the FA’s full approval, I recognise I made some comments which have caused embarrassment.

"As part of today’s meeting, I was asked to clarify what I said and the context in which the conversations took place. I have co-operated fully in this regard.

"I also regret my comments with regard to other individuals."

Tony Cottee seems to think that there are further revelations...hmmmn why?.....inside info.....mutually agreed to terminate contract.....sweet...that potential £400k turning into a £5M loss...

People calling Sam thick, but he demonstrates the complete confidence of someone at it, and getting away with it, for many, many years.

Complete Wayne Carr of the highest order......Hoddle for me..

Like i say he destroyed Bolton in the long run

Spot on. He made an absolute balls of Newcastle where his signings stunk the place out. After 1 game with England and playing Rooney, you knew he was destined for failure. The FA have dodged a bullet.

Maybe they planted the bullet RQ

Not sure Sam's advisor has much of a future career...

The Telegraph began investigating corruption in English football last year after receiving information that specific managers, officials and agents were taking or receiving cash payments to secure player transfers. Over the coming days the Telegraph will detail how:

The assistant manager of a high-profile football club accepted a £5,000 cash “bung”
Ten managers were named by players’ agents as taking bribes to fix player transfers
Two well-known managers discussed becoming ambassadors for the same fictitious firm as Sam Allardyce
Another high-profile manager admitted his players broke FA rules by betting on their own games but he failed to report it
A senior figure at a Premier League club helped undercover reporters to formulate a plan to bribe managers

Southgate to take over next 4 matches - they will be the end of our 2018 WC campaign then.

Would make a great new "Secret Footballer" type book

frigging unreal really when you think about it
literally couldn't have made it up
kamikaze sam
FA are a load of bellends
and have once again upheld that opinion
next 'appointment' will be sh1te as well

wenger was reported to be interested had it been a year later ...

The assistant manager of a high-profile football club accepted a £5,000 cash “bung”




A top clubs assistant takes 5k ( deserves to be caught for risking your job for 5k )

Southgate'll get it full time.

Safe pair of hands and wears a blazer very nicely.

Probably smells wonderful too

England to get new shirt deal with Pizza Hut

Big Sam was a desperate choice anyway...hmmmn.....well the foreigners don't work so let's go to the worst manager left in the prem...well he's great at avoiding relegation so that will ensure trophies........sack the fa

Looks like he's been allowed to resign rather than sacked.

Face saving for both

"The FA and Allardyce have mutually agreed to terminate his contract with immediate effect" is jargon for "sacked".

Whats the rule hes meant to be offering to get round, i thought most footballers have agents and i assume they dont work for free?

...sacked with a pay off ...

how much- the whole £3m or pro rata  2 months = £500k

The third party ownership rule (referred to as "slavery" by Platini when he was UEFA president).

no less than a quarter no more than 1/2 NAP

of the 3million

the most successful manager England have ever had
actually ppl are slagging him off and saying he ain't the sharpest knife in the draw
but his cv is now enhanced at international level
should soon be in line for a top european club appointment
shrewd dude our sam

To be fair, they should pay him to the end of the week.

Pay off??? How the fck can he get a pay off? He broke the rules.

I'm glad he was caught, but had to laugh at the alacrity with which Alan Green popped up to add his tuppnyworth. Could barely disguise his glee when he revealed that Allardyce had tried to get him sacked from 5Live a few years ago. Good old Greeny never one to miss an opportunity to stick the boot in to someone who has failed to treat him with the deference to which he thinks he is entitled.!
"I take no pleasure in saying this etc.."

Gross Misconduct  cheerio pal...

Big Sam stupid and greedy to get involved in things like that, you'd have thought he'd be a bit more street wise.

Bet he wasn't an angel at West Ham or Bolton either

couldnt we save the 3 million and let the england players take it in turns to be the player manager , because when push comes to shove its going make no difference whos in charge of this shower

This must be a world record surely? One game in charge and greed takes over. Can't recall anything so short lived but feel free to correct me if wrong.

It was recorded before his first game. So greed took over before he even managed a game.

Hound-Dog but he has been doing it for years so for all we know he was going along to a normal meeting but obviously with his new role as England manager he thought he would be ambassador and all sorts not just the old brown envelope.

Yep let's put a random fan in charge....not difficult to improve on the tourney record....#rookie winner

Even beats the Italians, Nigerians, South Americans for the speed of how quickly someone got themselves sacked due to corruption.

So his 100% could be voided then as he committed this indiscretion before a ball was kicked?

if that is the case
why didn't the DT dish the dirt at that juncture?

because more papers sell when he is in the job johnny and international week not long away it's a business

Alan green a wretched toad laughing whilst saying - its not about the money its the morals

The fat man's problem was imo that he got c0cky and thought he was god's gift to football when he got the England job.

Seriously he couldn't manage mice and I have the feeling he will be more or less sin died from ant participation in football.

That aside, the FA, (spineless) need to have a long look in the mirror..

There is only one rancid regime that will employ him now.
Another 3 defeats and Ellis will be reaching for speed dial 1.

*any

i guess..the media are scum tho'
all news channels have their agenda
in the way they report news
hard really to get inside his head
why he would be so stupid as to do such a thing
i suppose if you think there's extra easy money there
for the taking and no one would be any the wiser
you get too hubristic
absolute power corrupts absolutely et al
he must feel an absolute c*nt now

Should be on watch from the hospital imo

Yep his old ticker will be doing overtime after this

This is what I just put on my facebook wall, not sure if you'd agree but like to think others on here would

I have a lot of football lovers and followers on my friends list and I am thankful those are ones of such a calibre they are not what I call JCL's. They are proper fans and supporters, not just of their own teams but football in general, some being ambassadors from the grass roots level.

For those that dont know JCL's are Johnny Come Lately's. JCL's are the oens that cant get debenture tickets at Wimbledon, had enough of La Fille mal gardée at the Royal Opera House but yet see the ENO as a cultural downward class step. These JCL's are those that IMHO are ruining the working mans game we all love, they are the ones that now "Love" football, but dont understand or ignore that grassroots game we all grew up with but did so with a team in our hearts, whether premiership or United Counties.
Todays revelations do not surprise me, Allardyce is as bent as a 9 bob note and always has been, I remember when one of my idols George Graham was caught, in essence brown envelope in hand. It Hurt, it ****g hurt. Probably the same as it did for the scousers with Grobbelar. ****Please take a minutes silence before reading on ****

Talking about Grobbelar, how did the POSH fans feel and think after that momentous night with I believe Kimble? That scored against the mighty reds? Did POSH really earn it that night or did they not? Me? I was there and yes they did, but it does take the edge of those David and Goliath Battles.

All the above leeds (

If he was happy to talk about, advise and whatever on dodgy deals now imagine what he was getting upto 20 or so years ago.

Him and Harry must reminisce about "the good old days"

Pardew wouldn't take a bung but would he answer the phone or door

he's handled more envelopes than the post office

2-3 Beers and he run his mouth off,billy big b ollocks,still think his advisors put him there,he's thick as mince...

Samuel "Mount Pleasant" Allidyce

Harry saying unscrupulous people set him up,lol.

You tell them Harry LOL

The manager formerly known as Big Sam or Fat Sam will now be known as Dopey Sam or Greedy Sam or Thick Sam.

Sam Allardyce: England a laughing stock - Alan Shearer

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37483344

Give the england managers job to the greatest living english player.

Step forward Wayne Rooney :)

The England role has become comical

Rio Ferdinand, former England captain and defender




Just give them 2 the gig and see what they do

2 top players with not much experience England will say

Sam , Roy etc are no better

At least Rio/Alan have played the game recently

the f a were not exactly paragons of virtue when faria allam
was employed by them.

hmmmmm!

FA can do what they like though

Just forget it everyone - the English game is non-existant.

The English players and managers couldn't give a **** about England - what would they care ? they dont no matter what you think

Just accept the fact that England's honor and  reputation is down the toilet - and will always be there until there is a complete overhaul of the FA.

The EPL and CL will always take presidence over the National interest.

BFS wouldn't have got the push for boffing Allam.

Cardiff City football club launched an investigation into a player transfer after auditors discovered evidence of unexplained payments, The Daily Telegraph has learnt.

A loan deal involving Cardiff and West Ham United, who were managed by Sam Allardyce at the time, was examined after questions were raised over fees relating to the deal.

An agent is understood to have told the club that a payment had been agreed with Allardyce over the loan of Ravel Morrison, who moved to the Welsh club from West Ham in 2014.

Football is ruined only like it for betting and watching Celtic games

I watched no game tonight only looked at scored for my bet

Sam is tomorrow's chip paper

Give the job to Shearer I say. He's asked before and got knocked back. His response? " I couldn't no any worse than what you've had".

Telegraph have more dirt, and it's not just on Big Sam.

Shearer as England manager would be hilarious, but sadly too much to hope for

Yes scum at the top - but agents are the cancer in the game

Been a "laughing stock" (Shearer's comment)for quite a few years really.

I mean, are we really serious about our national team

being any good regardless of which halfwit is manager? Allardyce has made a right

pig's ear of his life now but would he really have made us world-beaters? Extremely, doubtful, but I don't think

there's a manager in the world who could do it or would want to do it.

No consistent stream of top class English kids coming through (and those that

do are run into the ground by duff tactics, etc) What a bleedin' mess!

And (ho bleedin' ho) Lineker (amongst others) tweeting about Sam's 100% record.

Fantastically witty stuff ( a la Oscar Wilde) and just what we need right now ( I don't think).

He turned up to the meeting with an agent and a financial adviser. You don't expect the agent to see anything but the £ signs as he is basically the sales guy but the financial adviser should have been instructed by Allardyce to do due diligence on the outfit making the offer before he went anywhere near meeting them.

They've all got pots of money but they ain't very bright.

First day of the season he turned up for a freebie at the Etihad rather than watch virtually a full complement of England players at Goodison (Everton v Spurs).

Thank goodness the dodginess in football is ring fenced and doesn't have any effect on individual results.

betchat you are joking right

Only way Sterling was getting back in so quick was brown envelopes from the Arabs

67 days ffs those blokes were stuck down that mine in Chile longer than that

These are the others about to be exposed- No one major really, Hasselbaink, Eric Black at Southampton (assistant), Tommy Wright at Barnsley.
Arry and Steve McClaren are in there, But they're not employed. The owner of Leeds.I'm led to believe some of the mclaren and Harry stories are golden.

Sums up what's wrong with this society.
Thick barsteward is lucky enough to be paid £3m a year but still wants more and some morons blame the press for setting him up.

Man wants more money, big deal. Who doesn't, if some mugs in the far east are willing to pay 5 figure sums for a football coach to mumble a few words to a room, who would turn it down.

Papers are scum, the lengths they've gone to in recent years getting rid of England managers with is untrue, setting up fake companies, fake Sheikh's and spending several months trying to gain their confidence.

And they always time them to maximum effect, Sven before a world cup and Sam before his first home game, if he was in charge at the Euro's, they would have been released then.

Samuel "Mount Pleasant" Allidyce

Sven "Mount anything" Goran Eriksson

If he was set up and then just stood up and walked away then people could have a go at the reporters but they are just exposing corruption in football which i don't think is wrong.

But when they video people taking drugs etc that's just wrong.Like Joe Calzaghe for instance they exposed him and his family didn't have a clue.Dirty feckers if it's someone just enjoying themselves but corruption in football getting exposed will never be wrong.

Mes it happened after the Euros this meeting

I think mes has blocked me so if someone can let him know that would be nice

More fool him for taking the bait, beggars belief people stick up for his type. Same happened with Keith Vaz, people said it infringed on his private life, b0llocks to that. Walk away and people will won't judge you. Simple really.

How much money he wants and who wants to give it to him it's none of your business and most of the comments are simply born out of pure jealousy because you will never be in that position and so hide behind your moralising bollox intead, what is greed ? money is there to be made, greed is when you take what's not yours.

You should be focusing your attention on the written press who time and again bend over backwards to stop England achieving anything as long as they sell a few papers. Ironic when you consider the ethics and values they broke in recent times.

OK he was set up. But he was paid £3m a year.That assumes he's not an idiot surely.

I think it was termed as slavery this 3rd party ownership - so i guess you condone that then mesmerised.

Shearer as England manager would be hilarious, but sadly too much to hope for

I think after the decisions the FA have made in the last few years he couldn't do any worse.

My only reservations about Shearer getting the gig would be that he's got very little managerial experience aside from a relegation battle that was lost and, more importantly, he's an absolute cóck. 

IMVHO, of course.

Slavery is just emotive language and means nothing. Most people would love to be a slave on 100k a week like Tevez + Mascherano.

UEFA (Not the paragon of propriety i give you that) said it was

I'm sure Sir Bobby Robson will be looking down on all of this with a tear in his eye - and conclude that everyone has lost themselves in a quagmire of money and greed ( players,FA,English managers)
