England Football Team - managers job

"Deep Pockets.
Mike Basset...England manager the sequel."

The whole thing is a total farce. And we/the FA were castigating FIFA for its corrupt practices.
 
LB - Could be relevant. I believe the Telegraph are releasing more football related stuff this week. Apparently they have been investigating transfers for about 10 months and the Allardyce sting came at the very end. They are going to release info about bungs and slices of transfer fees going to managers and assistant managers. There will be quite a few nervous people sat around today.
 
Just watching the bbc news, not looking good for Sam, strange (if true) to do such a stupid thing after getting the job he always wanted.

Wouldnt surprise me if the FA concocted some way of keeping him.

Best move the FA could make is to give Hoddle another go.

Really Hoddle let's get over this scandal by appointing that vile individual with his ridiculous medieval views that sounds like a good plan.
 
I reckon he is going to get the boot. The PR people would have had him out apologising and on damage limitation if there was any intention of keeping him. Half a day of silence allowing the rumours and speculation to run riot is one hell of a lot of time if the intention is to let him keep his job.
 
Problem with this type of "Sting" journalism is that parts of the video can be edited to show whatever you want it to show. So before making any judgement, I would want to see unedited footage.

Surely if a meeting is arranged with people you dont know and they start talking about "shady" deals, wouldnt that set alarm bells ringing in your brain cell?

Id start asking where the camera was,

Not a fan of this entrapment type of expose, Certainly not from The Telegraph ( does anyone still read it?)
 
Only thing i can see he's done wrong is talking of potential ways to get around loopholes.

Moking Roy, or saying FA wasted money on Wembley is only what millions have said before. Granted it's distasteful, but no more than that for me.

He cant complain if he's shown the door. But in a sport when sportsmanship is long gone, I don't think it's such a scandal.

What at hoddle said was worse IMO.
 
The problem the FA face is that they aren't fully in control of the situation. The Telegraph have more details to reveal and of course it will depend when they want to do this. They will inevitably want to eek this out for as long as they can and while they do so it makes it hard for the FA to know the full scale of the fall out

It's the correct decision. The FA can't defend Sam when they've been very vocal about FIFA and the corruption within that organisation.

I hope it was worth it for a potential lousy £400k.
 
Well Big "Bung" Sam has gone after one games.After some optimism that we could make some real progress under him we are back to square one. So who the hell does the job now?
 
Let Eddie Howe have a go - young, driven, plays expansive team football and is clearly more intelligent than most. Couldn't do any worse than those before.

Big Sam is no loss, route one tactics, Stoke City/Wigan/Blackburn is about his level at best.
 
How embarassing,
Will Southgate be caretaker until we find some one?
