Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke

I blame West Ham, if they didn't exist Fathead's career path would be off-kilter and he possibly wouldn't have the job in the first place.

 

Nah, greed and ego - two of the three things responsible for almost all the nonsense going on in the World (dogma being the third).

 

He's what's known in some schools as fucking thick.

Rightly or wrongly I felt a certain amount of pride when Allardyce got the England job. One of our own, so to speak. With his position he had an enormous amount of power. He could shape English football and give it some sort of direction. He would also get paid a vast amount of money for this. Being England manager your every waking, and sleeping hour should be 100% devoted to the job. Using your position to blagg yourself an extra income, and potentially giving out inside information is inexcusable. Fuck off Sam, you've let me down. England can fuck off too. Snout's in troughs and utter greed is football.

He never even got a chance to prove himself with England.Pisses me the fuck off.

 

have a word with the bloke who is to blame

 

he lives in bronley cross

Hearing the FA have agreed a cash settlement with him

400k and a flight to Hong Kong?

Exactly how I feel at the moment.

 

Very disappointed.....

What an utter retard Sam is. The press were always going to drop this kind of sting on him with his reputation and his greed and ego have cost him his dream job and what was left of his integrity. He won't work again.

Same as

Southern media never wanted him in the first place, this was bound to happen somewhere along the line.

Only lasted 45 minutes longer than Ricketts did

He was on £57k a week at the FA surely that should've been enough to keep him happy. It'll have to be a desperate team to employ him now

Fat Greedy Bastard.

Wouldn't be surprised if a "Journolist" type scandal occured within the next 12 weeks and henry winter's* posts got uploaded to wikileaks or whatever.

 

* yeah, it's not him now, but whoever it is.

 

in current year it's already happening and can only get more funny.

What a shame

 

Enjoyed having a past manager at England

 

As stated he's only got himself to blame though, he must be kicking himself, go down as the shittest manager in England's history getting potted within 100 days

 

Still think it was all a bit thin, they are talking like the England managers job is of the level of a Priminister ffs! Big Sam, Southgate, hodgson, McLaren all managed us within the last decade, it's not the huge position it used to be

 

I don't care how much you earn, £400k for a couple of days on the piss in Singapour is hard to turn down if your contract allows it

 

The player ownership stuff? Thin

 

Must be more to come on BSA

True, well especially true if you're a fat greedy bastard whose pursuit of Mammon overrides all other considerations...

 

There's more to life than money, you avaricious oaf (FSA, not Birch )

 

All that 'life's ambition realised' and 'the one job I've always wanted' bollocks has proved to be exactly that, bollocks.

 

Like Gonzo and others have said, wholly demoralising - shit like this.

when they tried doing Gartside and he went "We want £10million for Okocha" that's the best way to deal with this kind of shit.

 

"i want £400,000 . Now. You've got ten minutes to walk to the bank" -if theyre the real deal , they'll get it.

 

oh, and film it yourself, to discredit any "selective edits" in 129 second telegraph videoes or whatever. 

 

Still to me , seems to have the "payton manning drug sting" whiff about it. 

 

IIRC he paid some big dudes to stand outside the snitch's liar's house. Then Al Jazeria America went bankrupt.

 

He'll (Sam will) save Sunderland from relegation again, too.

 

What odds is Pardew ?

 

oh this too-

 

:/

he must be worth 10 million plus

 

y fuck about for 400k

:lol:. I hope his 'dream' job was worth his £400.000 and jolly. What a dick.

 

Struggling to care about football these days.

He's an idiot and had to go.

 

I hope the Telegraph are going to name the 8 Premier League managers who have taken bungs.

Are they fuck

 

It's all hearsay from a load of agents giving it the big one, they might as well ask some cunt down the pub

 

I think they have an assistant manager taking £5k who they will name, fuck knows what the money is for. If it's for an after dinner speech or some private consultancy work which I expect then it will be another huge storm over not very much at all. I bet it's not catching someone breaking the laws of the land or the game (tax invasion aside but it's in the last 10 months so still time to declare it)

 

Even big Sam told them bungs where happening 20, 30 years a go but you can't get away with them now, The Telegraph didn't make a huge deal if that comment though did they

 

It's all a big load of fuss over very little when you look at it for what it is

Next bwfc manager

It's all a big load of fuss over very little when you look at it for what it is

Couldn't disagree more. How can we expect players to take playing for England seriously when their supposed leader obviously is behaving like this?

 

And it might just be me but how comfortable does Sam look in those clips. That obviously wasn't the first time he's had those discussions

Edited September 28, 20169 yr by wiggy

I hardly ever read or listen to journalists, but whilst driving to Rochdale last night I stuck five live on."We acted in the interests of the public". The condescending twats. As if they think we need to be looked after like kids. They weren't acting in my interests. Arseholes.

I think most of us 'knew' that he is/was a dodgy fucker and a lot of folk have their personal opinions of the man and his morals. He's been a dick and paid a massive price for it. The other side of it is the motivation of the Telegraph. Ultimately I feel disappointed that we will never get to see what sort of a job he would have done.

 

Anyway, Sammy Lee-ve by mutual agreement.

He's an idiot and had to go.

Currrent and former.

 

It's meaningless, how many people have managed there? Possibly now into the thousands.

Did the telegraph need to do an investigation to tell us Big Sam would sell his soul to the devil for a fiver? No.

 

Did the telegraph need to do an investigation to tell us the game is bent and 3rd party ownership rules are tweaked in this country? No.

 

Is this investigation going to clean our game up and make every manager, agent, player and chairman follow correct procedure from now on? No.

 

Does Big Sam losing his job benefit English football? No.

 

It's a fuckin witch hunt to sell papers by gutter journalists.

 

And big Sam is the biggest fool in all of it for falling for it the dumb fucker.

 

There's a lot worse going on in our game than some Buffoon spouting bollocks whilst drinking a pint of wine.
