Sam Allardyce for England Manager

[DOUGALMCD]

What do you all think of the appointment?

[PremierD]

Problem is .. like all the other appointments ... he does not kick the ball .. its the overpaid prima donnas that do that .. and they do not know the meaning of the word Team .. its all me me me ..

[maca]

This is like stevie ~~~~ing wonder taking you on a driving lesson ..

[gc1966]

at least he doesn't have to worry about saving em from relegation

[shellbob]

at least he is a manager who has emotions and wont sit like a cardboard cut out

[DOUGALMCD]

Maybe he's just another yes man like those before. I do ask why didn't they give him job long ago? Do you think the best players always get played or just those in favour?

Yeh, but that's all he's ever been good at! Back to basics, punt the ball up the park, don't fanny about and don't get beat.

Is that good enough for International Football?

[PremierD]

" don't fanny about and don't get beat." ....................that would be a bit of a step up from where they are at the moment ...

it was a tongue in cheek statement on par with the comedic performance of our over rated prima donna footballers, who like your good self would also not see the parallels


as to it being good enough for international football was my comment funny enough to get me a start in the edinburgh fringe???

it has long been stated that the shirt and ties coupled with certain elements of the press have picked the team for years giving credibility to that statement by how newspapers print the squad several days in advance of fixtures.as for sam being a yes man time will tell,some ex players wax lyrical about his man management skills and his forthright manner which will hopefully hold him in good stead in his new role.

at the end of the day though i sprinkling of reality is required towards our fortunes as a world football force,we are at best the second best team in these shores and quite possibly an argument could be stated third is possibly more true.i wish him well.

Having experienced fringe 'comedy', I'd have to say 'yes' I'm afraid.

England's Sam Allardyce in crunch FA talks after undercover sting

[GastonJ]

Do they keep crunch in sacks?, because that's what he got.

[maca]

Sacked with a 100% record ffs you couldnt make it up

[GastonJ]

Well someone was making it up during the recordings. I suppose when you have lots of money a) You're a target b) It appears some want more money no matter how they get it c) Always be careful who you speak to d) Don't be greedy.......
