[Albion] Do we owe some thanks to Sam Allardyce?

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

To be fair I’m not being entirely serious about thanking him!

But it’s funny how life works and how things end up as they are. If Big Sam keeps the job, Southgate may have gone onto other things. What happened to Sam is a true sliding doors moment.

As I have learned, you don't always express yourself with clarity. Never mind. You're getting pelters now, perhaps unreasonably so. If every thread on NSC posed cutting edge philosophical propositions none of us would get any work done

 

[Swansman]

Not really.

It was your second or third?

Either way... you dont need Sam Allardyce in your life.

As i recall he was never caught with a brown envelope or any other type of bribe , some scumbag journo looking to catch him out asked him some dodgy questions and he replied theoretically , that was blown out of proportion and they made him look guilty . It`s the same as me asking you if you know how to turn the clock back on the car your trying to sell , if you do it doesn`t make you guilty of the deed .

You’re correct. I was being tongue in cheek about Sam taking brown envelopes of course. I do think he may have been set up by a couple of unscrupulous journalists after a scoop.

In any case it certainly worked out well for Southgate who then got a chance at the England job. Thank goodness.
