Sam Allardyce to be interviewed for the Wolves job

[Lurchy]

I think it's pretty clear Bloom doesn't favour long-ball football so you can sleep assured the likes of Sam Alladyce will never be employed by Brighton.

That Allardyce purely relies on long ball tactics is a bit of a myth. He's a very pragmatic manager and his teams are always set up so that their hard to beat, it's not pretty football but he isn't against using flair / creative players when it's warranted.

So Allardyce's punishment is being thrown to the Wolves?

Blimey. Thats SUCH a lazy cliché.

OK, England hardly played like Brazil 70' in his one and only game in Slovenia, but did you see the game ? Did they spend 90 minutes lumping it into the box ?

Were Sunderland just humping it up the pitch to Defoe when he kept them up ?

Jay Jay Okocha for one who played the best football of his career at Bolton and he made Michael Ricketts into a feared PL centre forward.

The job I do is largely irrelevant to other parts of my business. If I were to undermine those other parts of the business then it would be an act of misconduct - gross even, if it were about breaking standards and rules. There's nothing disingenuous about it. His employer was the FA. He undermined them. End of story. It was very wrong. A breach of contract.

Quite, he let the FA down and the country. Though frankly if we didn't qualify for Russia I wouldn't lose any sleep

Amazes me how so many stick up for the fat lump on here, should we now get Rednapp in? Sam was at the pinnacle of his career and he blew it. Pure greed lured him for the offer of just a few weeks wages.

How that useless lump ever played International football I don't know. No one can knock Fat Sam for that!

He breached his contract so badly, yet the FA paid him £1 million pounds in compensation.

How exactly does that work then?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Unbelievable. We know he's a good manager but this soon after what happened with England?

Except he didn't do anything wrong with England - just rather stupid - and they sacked him because of the bad light it threw on the FA. His football credentials are intact, and there will be clubs after him, though, hopefully not ours. He can afford to wait living off the bumper payout he got for a 67 day reign - I wonder what that worked out to per minute !

Ah. Lawyers eh!
