I agree. Not my personal choice for manager but he's got a friendly before the WC qualifier against Slovakia so lets see what he does in these two games before forming any real opinion. He certainly hasn't got a lot to be assuming we qualify

I sniff a double standard 😋
I've said it before, Roy wasn't all bad. He tried to set the team up to play 'good' international football, the way we used to be told it had to be played. It's all about possession. England don't keep the ball well enough. Blah blah.
Well that team kept possession, but they had no idea what to do with it.
I'm not saying he didn't have to go, but he brought in a whole new batch of young players and told them to push forward, he just didn't give them the right tactics.
Sam's philosophy is to use older, seasoned pros. So either he'll keep his traditional strengths and we'll lose a generation of young talent. Or he'll change his historical game plan and end up confused and lost exactly the way Roy did.
The best we can hope for is 'One nil to the In-ger-land'
Can't wait...😴

I fear yes, but I sincerely hope not
I'm not slating him so much as the FA. I thought they were supposed to have a plan in place to progress English football.
Set a system in place from the top down. Play a certain style and gradually improve, strengthening the squad for 2020 and beyond.
Hodgson had to go, but they're chucking the baby out with the bath water.
Let's start from scratch with a new plan. Again!?!.: The last plan was OK we just needed to stick with it and grow a young manager into position in 4 years time.
This is just another example of poor management from the FA. If we need a new plan we should start from the top down and sack the lot

I'm sure the bumbling oafs at The FA will make some sort of excuse for him to stay.

D oh, bye bye Sam bye bye.
He cannot escape that and has to go.
At least he leaves with a 100% record in competitive games not many can say that.
Well done Sam you mug.

Bring back Hoddle (he has served his time now).

Haha the FA and credibility??:rofl:
Surely he'll have to go unless there's the usual whitewash at the FA and it's swept under the carpet. It was either very arrogant or very stupid but if he does go, who do we get next?

True. However does the lack of credible replacements mean he'll get away with it?

He's got previous he'll definitely stay.
The FA investigation shouldn't take long, the evidence is compelling.
his agent needs to be struck off the list too after his comments.

Oh dear. I'm a massive fan of big Sam but I suppose this was always his skeleton, his Achilles heel. When he was appointed I said he'll do OK if the press allow him to but thought it would take longer for a story like this to appear.....but it was always going to.
I'm sure the FA will look at the facts not the headlines. Looking at the quotes at the bottom of the link there's not much that anyone would disagree with. The filmed comments on 3rd parties look damning but all he's saying (from what I've seen) is that there are ways around it....which there undoubtedly are. Not, as they'd have you believe, that he's offering to sort stuff out etc. In the other clip they were showing this morning he's actually saying that "you can't say that these days", "it was done 20 years ago but not nowadays" etc. Again, just the truth, hardly compelling. If those are the most damaging clips from a 4 hour conversation then I'm sceptical of the whole report tbh.
Hope I'm right and it's all trumped up rubbish to make a story but it's part of a much bigger "investigation" so lets see what turns up. If he's actually done something wrong aside from a few loose comments then he's obviously got to go but naive and stupid he is not......and he would have to have been for this to stick as it's being portrayed. Looking forward to his response though!

How can an England manager stay when he is employed by the FA and he is on tape advising how to get around FA rules? If he remains then the FA will have bottled it and will have no credibility. How can they complain about corruption at FIFA if their own manager is promoting how to get around official rules. Sheer ugly greed.
