Big Sam's in trouble...again


Recommended Posts

Note what is still to come in this story:

 

"The Telegraph began investigating corruption in English football last year after receiving information that specific managers, officials and agents were taking or receiving cash payments to secure player transfers. Over the coming days the Telegraph will detail how:

 

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"

That always gets me. How messed up in the head do you need to be to commit a serious offence such as betting on a game you're playing in when you're a multi millionaire with a contract guaranteeing more millions.

It beggars belief, it really does. Shows how divorced from reality some are.

It does beggar belief. It's not only a criminal offence it's a firing offence that could lose them a multi million contract and see them booted out of the game entirely and for what? What must be a mere pittance in relation to what they earn if they actually win the bet? It's baffling.

Pardew's favourite to replace him. I'm not really sure why they're so intent on filling the role with mediocre English managers who've never won anything. They're hardly going to get England challenging for major tournaments again.

 

They spent a lot of money and tried the foreign manager. It didn't work. What they need to recognise is that hundreds of millions of pounds pouring into a league where the main aim is to simply remain in that top league one position above the relegation spot while spending over the odds to import foreign players does nothing for the national team.

The result is any English player who gains a national cap sees his value triple straight away.

Much like the manks they have an over-inflated value of their own worth. They will continue to get through to major competitions but will always fail when meeting a team of true professionals.

Their home sides are managed by foreigners. Big Sam was their last hope. Look to multi millions being spent on another foreigner taking charge.
