Big Sam

[Harry T]

Its looking increasingly likely the Big Sam Allardyce is to become the New England manager, its being reported in many National Newspapers, and Tv & Radio stations that its a done deal.. here is what auntie beeb is saying..

What a fu**ing joke!

[Terpe]

I'd have to agree with slip.....

Big Sam is NEVER national team manger material.
Either it's a joke, or nobody else is the slightest bit interested.

This appointment isn't exactly enthralling but at least Allardyce has a bit of zest about him, unlike Hodgson who sits around nonchantly during games doing impressions of an owl.

Having said that, at the beginning of last season, I'd have rated Allardyce higher than either Chris Coleman or Claudio Ranieri as a manager, and look what they've done recently.

My choices would have been Slavan Bilic, Gus Hiddink or Eddie Howe although Bilic wouldn't been interested anyhow I don't think.
