I don't see the point in the 'target' either way. It makes no difference. Have a target or not, if you qualify for a finals you should be planning on trying to win them. it is bizarre.

Surely he's going to get the sack

ChesterDave · 26-09-16, 10:03 PM

The FA is so comical it wouldn't surprise me if they sacked Fat Sam and appointed 'Arry.

Kenneth · 26-09-16, 10:06 PM

OMG

Roboklopp · 26-09-16, 10:14 PM

Stupid fat cunt. Hope he's sacked, banned for life & beaten to death with a 20 day kipper slapping to his ludicrous chops.

Irishnev · 26-09-16, 10:26 PM

Fuck off Fat Sam - he can go and cry to his old buddy Fergie. What a stupid greedy prick - £3m a year isn't enough for him!

cream · 26-09-16, 11:03 PM

Lucky for England.

I have a strange feeling they'll find some way to excuse his actions away and settle for an apology for any "impression" of impropriety.

Vermilion · 26-09-16, 11:46 PM

He's a twat eh, how much money is enough money the crooked cunt.

The England job to Allardyce is just a free ticket to make money via his new found status.

Wanker!

Edit: Oh he's fucked...

Sam Allardyce described Prince Harry, left, as a 'very naughty boy', and complained that Prince William, right, 'never turned up' to an official launch event.

McDermotX · 26-09-16, 11:58 PM

Just magnificent.

ChesterDave · 27-09-16, 12:01 AM

Masterstroke by the FA to pay (allegedly

) the Telegraph to sting Fat Sam so they can get rid of him without a payoff. Can't have any more performances like that qualifier

Less of an investigation and more of a set up. But it doesnt really matter either way. His literal gravy train is derailing.

Whos next?

Steve Bruce no doubt.

spud_gun · 27-09-16, 08:34 AM

Best thing about the whole sting is that we found out Fat Sam refers to Roy Hodgeson as 'Woy'

spud_gun · 27-09-16, 08:38 AM

Also retaining Fat Sam as manager will rather fly in the face of the English FA's Anti corruption stance. You can't really bemoan UEFA and FIFA for corrupt practices if your own national manager is more than happy to facilitate, for a fee of course, dodgy dealings.

It's a definite sting operation.

But you can only imagine there must have been noises from the fat ones advisors to let the journos know that a deal was there to be struck.

What an awesome time to choose to fall from grace, waiting until minutes after he reached his career highest point. Based on the previous decisions by the FA (binning Hoddle) and the fact that surely they have to represent integrity within the game, I'd expect Fat Sam to be managing Stoke or Hull before the month is out.

Kenneth · 27-09-16, 09:10 AM

I guess it was agreed to on a 'lets just go and see what they have to say' basis but the fat whopper couldn't keep his mouth shut over a beer or two.

I don't think he'll get the sack unless there is more than has come out.

I hope he doesn't get sacked.

He's got an 'England's worst ever result' in him for sure.

Alex · 27-09-16, 09:20 AM

I think he is covered in a way by saying he would need to run anything like a new role past the FA.

His comments on 3rd party ownership should be more troubling. No person or organisation should ever 'own' a person.

Buzzo · 27-09-16, 09:31 AM

He will be a worry for the FA now. This all happens within 4 weeks of him getting the job. I wonder if the sting was set up before his appointment or after?

Shaggy · 27-09-16, 09:34 AM

It was a 10 month "investigation" so obviously before.

He's not actually done that much wrong, has he? Morally wrong, yeah...but I'm not sure it's a sackable offence. Hope I'm wrong.

Vermilion · 27-09-16, 09:37 AM

He'll know what he's said, they sometimes save the best till last with these releases, so we'll see if he resigns/gets sacked or not, that will tell us if there's worse stuff likely to folllow.

fingerscrossed.

Buzzo · 27-09-16, 09:38 AM

I think the only thing is the fact that he said he could assist in getting round third party ownership issues with the FA. Though he is probably covered in saying that he would have to run any deal past the Powers that be.

Embarrassing for the big man none theless. I'm sure he was choking on his bacon and maple syrup pancakes this morning when he saw the headlines.

He's hardly going to be eating foreign muck is he? He'll be a full english in a giant barm type of guy. Smothered in both ketchup AND brown sauce (Daddies).

According to The Telegraph it was just after his appointment and the follow up meeting was last week.

He's discussing taking money in return for advice on how to exploit loopholes in his employers regulations. That's corruption, isn't it?

Kenneth · 27-09-16, 11:25 AM

Not unless he as any say in setting those regulations.

Alex · 27-09-16, 11:35 AM

No different to an accountant exploiting tax loopholes. Its unethical for an England Manager to do it though as its such a public job.

Obviously the comments were made in the last few weeks, but it was *set up* before since it's been ongoing for 10 months.
