The Sam Allardyce fanboy thread

I do feel for Allardyce.

But.....

Something very unpalatable about the way the press set him up. I genuinely feel sorry for him.

They hardly tortured a confession out of him though did they. He's been in the game long enough to know how the press work.

100% his own fault.

Why? He shouldn't have done it, simple as that. If he doesn't do it, he doesn't get caught.

He was the England manager - you can't be doing grubby deals like that and recommend ignoring the rules of the game.

Parker next I reckon.

I can't help but find this amusing.

Then I think of the amounts of cash involved.

Not a prayer. Contract will have a clause for this situation - mutual consent means he walks away without legal proceedings against him for bringing the game into disrepute or whatever.

Effing spellchecker.
Pardew next I reckon.

Exactly. Pretty sure he wouldnt have even been at that meeting and asking for £400k for a spurious advisory role if he was still at Sunderland.

Looks like he cashed in the first chance he had.

If he wasn't dodgy, then he wouldn't have been at that meeting.

Worked in Limerick City and was told that when big Sam was there he would go door-to-door with the local Priest looking for money for the team. Guess some things never change. RIP fat sam.

I demand England are kicked out of the next four tournaments.

Honestly think the majority of people in the UK would be happy with this. Just disband the entire noxious circus -would be quite a creative solution to what is a national problem.

Should never do an interview with a journo wearing a GO-Pro on his head.
