Big Fat Sam's England

The FA should take a pretty dim view, considering their stance on corruption at FIFA, on one of their employees explaining and accepting a highly paid role to tell someone how to circumvent their glorious rules to prevent corruption.

If he gets away with it, which he shouldn't, it's simply because they don't have anyone to replace him. Which speaks volumes for the bottom of the barrel levels of credibility the FA have domestically and on the world stage.

 

Just bin him off. He's slagged off his predecessor and his employer, whored himself around to shady businessmen in order to top up his £3 million a year salary and offered advice on bypassing his employer's anti-corruption rules. Sounds like a slam dunk for gross misconduct.

Then maybe we could get a coach who won't play Rooney in midfield and put Rashford in the u21s.

 

a few years back fat Sam and Fergie were taking bungs left, right and centre. Isn't his son a dodgy football agent?

 

The utter irony is, if he keeps his job, is that there is nobody else willing or capable. I would fire him now and just withdraw England from any competitions till we get our act together.

 

No one else available for the job you say? I beg to differ...

 

Same result as us competing in tournaments tbf

 

It doesn't look like we're going to get caught up. This is the Telegraphs list of 'scoops':

-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.

Our Manager's don't get involved enough to be responsible for most of these.

 

We're probably 6 of them

 

He was talking about how to get around the FA rules for third party ownership, but it's not rocket science what he was saying. It was just obvious stuff he was saying. He clearly does not agree with the third party ownership rules, so is happy to tell people how they can get around them.

Is he corrupt? No, I don't think so, as he clearly drew the line when asked about players taking a bung. He said if you want to talk about that, do it when I've gone.

He also spoke about Hodgson and referred to him as "Woy" and said he'd be a useless public speaker, sending everyone to sleep. Cruel, but true.

What surprised me the most is that he's got his dream job, and he's doing this sort of thing in the first place.

But, the FA knew what type of character he is. If he had "I'm a bit dodgy" tattooed on his arm it would not surprise me. Same as Harry Redknapp.

He's put the FA in an extremely embarrassing position, and knowing them and how they view things, I don't think he can possibly keep his job.

 

Would a more sensible person not just have walked away then, like apparently Rodgers and Wenger did?

He goes in my opinion, for what he said about Rooney and not giving Rashford a chance is almost reason enough anyway but he is the highest paid international manager in the world I believe and should be working for the FA and the FA only, anything else is a conflict of interests in my opinion.

 

Going,going...

 

Yep, seems he has offered resignation.

 

Yep, sounds like he's gone, and along with him goes Deeney's hopes of playing for England...

 

Confirmed -gone

 

Confirmed, Big Sam is gone.

 

Whenever I ponder the faltering governance of tennis I think of football and thank God!

What an absolute farce!

Silly, greedy person.

 

My predictive text changed Allardyce into "Malpractice" !:sign15:

 

He had a 100% win ratio!

 

The boring drip that is Gareth Southgate set to take over. Great.

 

He is a proper sap.

Let's hope he's an honest sap that spots a stitch up when he sees one.

 

Future headline from The Daily Bleedinobvious - Southgate masterminds four straight wins over countries the size of Cheddington and agrees to take over on a permanent basis. Heard it here first.

 

Rooney will have Southgate on a string.

 

I thought Steve Bruce may have been in with a shout. Not that I like him too much.

 

The stupid fúcker.

 

Gareth Southgate

 

So who are the other 7 managers that were approached? I bet any money Harry will be one of them.

 

St. Eddie of Howe likely to be one of those approached

 

Not a surprise in the slightest that Allardyce behaved like this. Let's not forget the murky affairs when he was manager of Bolton Wanderers that were exposed by Panaroma. Funny that he released a statement saying that he was going to sue the BBC as he had a very strong case, but for some reason never followed through with that threat...

Wayne Rooney will be given the job so the FA won't have to worry about him not being picked.

 

That's the last time allerdyce talks to someone with a gopro on their head

 

Complete idiot, screw a job paying several million a year by being greedy, shooting your mouth off, admitting to rule breaking, and trashing your employer

Berk

 

What rule breaking did he admit?
