    He's taking early retirement and going to live in Sainte-Anastasie-sur-Issole, in the south of France.

    You might be doing that after me and Lollie and the necessary crew have visited for a few days. Just trying to sort an ambulance to get her there, you need to book early..<ok>

    Our lass will look at it as a holiday compared to looking after me mate <laugh>

    I've told the Sheikh we might be having a visit and he's fine with it ......... he says you can have the whole poolhouse to yourself.

    I'll stick a photo up tomorrow.

    York City council are providing the ambulance, we need to sort dates and if we are know the address that would be cool <laugh>..

    This is a biggie for Lollie, hell for 7 years and bed bound for the last 18 months..

    She really likes you and the missus, candles and all that in the Minster, she has never forgot..

    She brings people close when it's right and I'm lucky that she talks often of you, raw and qwop. Probably why I came back here, keeps it all happening..<ok>

    Cheers mate, maybe looking at the first or second week of October, I remember you saying about Corsica in September. Looking forward to seeing you and the better half again, I will probably talk football, I don't do that on here like the old 606, to much hassle <laugh>....<ok>

    Hull say Steve Bruce has not been contacted for the England manager job
    SunSport understands players were called into a meeting by coaches after Big Sam jetted back to the UK on Monday.

    And they were told then that Allardyce was the FA’s “first choice” for the Three Lions post.

    The departure of their popular manager would be a huge blow for a group who had high hopes for the upcoming season after they escaped relegation last term.

    Allardyce’s England chances were further strengthened yesterday when Hull revealed the FA have not asked to talk to their manager, Steve Bruce.

    A Tigers statement read: “Hull City confirm there has been no approach from the FA.”

    David Moyes is amongst the favourites to replace Sam Allardyce if he leaves for England
    The Black Cats are one of only two Premier League clubs yet to make any additions this summer — Stoke being the other.

    Sunderland are desperate for Big Sam to stay but are making contingency plans in case he does leave, with out-of-work David Moyes and Burnley boss Sean Dyche on their radar.

    I reckon most people are ****ing braced. Get on with it!

    I've no idea mate.

    This is basically gossip that's going round the boardrooms and my friend is leaving football so has nothing to lose by repeating it.

    Allardyce is so intent on getting that job I don't think anything would stop him, even if he hears whispers.

    It seems Wenger is the man they've wanted for years and Allardyce is a gap filler.

    As with FIFA I think the whole FA is corrupt, power mad & capable of anything.

    If this is common knowledge in the football community, then I assume the directors at SAFC must know as well...if so, then Sam's contract should be terminated with immediate effect and we appoint someone who we can rely on for the forthcoming season. This has become one of the worst pre season build ups our club has endured, other clubs are planning and buying new players etc etc...we are just waiting to see if we have a manager or not...Staggering.

    Cant disagree mate.
    The only thing concrete is that Sam has been interviewed.
    Like another poster said, he will still take it as its always been his ambition even if it just for a year.
    The FA couldn't give a flying **** about us and it shows.
    I know the timing is the worst but the way the FA seem to be swanning around with no care or consideration to what they are doing to Sunderland is leaving me feeling a little bitter towards them.

    It's a sickener mate.

    Stepping back, and looking at it, I doubt the FA ever saw Allardyce as their 'dream ticket' ..... he's just a handy stop gap.

    It's poor that SAFC, and the supporters, are being so blatantly disregarded.

    Tapping up a manager, with a contract, like this is shabby in the extreme.
