    Sunderland should be looking for someone to save them from relegation in a couple of months, he will bounce back.


    The FA needs to make sure their next hire is beyond reproach. There is only one man for the job in my opinion.

    From USA Today

    It was a very English kind of comic tragedy. Allardyce’s agent had carried a shady reputation for years, and the coach was told squeaky-clean behavior was expected when took the job after England's disappointment at the European Championships.

    Instead Allardyce got duped by reporters posing as businessmen from the Far East, who appeared to be offering him vast sums to speak at a soccer conference. In exchange, he described ways to get around soccer’s complicated and convoluted rules prohibiting third party ownership of professional players – a practice that has the potential to earn “investors” huge sums of money.

    Allardyce also mocked former England coach Roy Hodgson and assistant Gary Neville and generally made himself come across as a bit of an idiot. One newspaper splash, one hastily-convened meeting with FA chiefs, one announcement later and he was done, bringing to a close the shortest and most embarrassing managerial reign England has had.
