Sam Allardyce is getting closer and closer to the England hotseat, according to bookmakers. Sunderland's manager is now favourite for the Three Lions job with all the large betting firms with odds at around 4/11. USA coach and former Germany striker Jurgen Klinsmann is the second favourite with much higher odds of 8/1. And the bookies also think they know who will replace Big Sam at the Stadium of Light. David Moyes is by far the favourite to take over from the former Bolton and West Ham boss. Odds on the former Everton and Manchester United boss currently stand at around 1/4 with Sean Dyche next in line at 8/1. Current odds for the next England manager Sam Allardyce 4/11 Jurgen Klinsmann 8/1 Eddie Howe 12/1 Steve Bruce 20/1 Harry Redknapp 25/1 Guus Hiddink 25/1 Glenn Hoddle 25/1 Gareth Southgate 28/1 Current odds for the next Sunderland manager David Moyes 1/4 Sean Dyche 8/1 Nigel Pearson 9/1 Steve McClaren 9/1 Frank de Boer 12/1 Ryan Giggs 12/1 Roberto Martinez 14/1 Jurgen Klinsmann 20/1 can we not charge the FA over this by wasting our time bastards
No. All we can do is to keep upping our compensation amount for them taking Sam. He's now 1/6 with the bookies to get the England job. Moyes 1/4 to become Sunderland manager. We all know it's happening now, so hopefully Moyes has already passed the names of a couple of players he wants to sign, to Martin Bain.
If things do take their course as they appear to be and Moyes is appointed I hope he learned from his ManU mistake of ditching the backroom staff before bringing in his own. A good handover from Sam, some deals in the offing, and a support team to carry him would be a better situation than the one at OT.
After initial worry I'm actual quote pro-Moyes. I'd be comfortable with him to be honest, easy to forget just how good his reputation was at Everton. I'm happy with him if it's him let's just draw a line under it and get the lads sorted for **** sake.
The FA can FO IMHO. We get a manager who seems like a really good fit and they coming knocking on our door for him. ****ers.
Agreed mate but it looks like it's not there so we dust down and move on. My concern now is a slow start and yet another season handicapped. Safc is far bigger than Sam, the team and club needs to be right, and sad as I will be to see Sam leave we need a resolution. Yesterday. Some ****er give me a job at the club someone who bleeds the badge needs to tell people straight out to get to **** in that entire setup. ****ing fannies.
gutted Nads............. wait and we miss both players and the compo, jump and we get no compo and a little time to gel with the new interns, can someone not speak to the FA OF HOW THIS IS AFFECTING OUR PREP TIME AND COMPENSATE ACCORDINGLY
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/england-manager-head-hunters-interview-8444827 Steve Bruce has been interviewed for the England manager’s job – but Sam Allardyce is likely to be recommended to the FA board as Roy Hodgson’s successor on Thursday. Hull boss Bruce is believed to have met the FA’s three-man recruitment team of chief executive Martin Glenn, vice-chairman David Gill and technical director Dan Ashworth at the weekend. The FA have have been completing their interviews for the Three Lions post in recent days – with USA chief Jurgen Klinsmann, Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe and former England boss Glenn Hoddle having also been spoken to about the role. But Sunderland manager Allardyce is still the hot favourite to get the nod, when Glenn, Gill and Ashworth report back to a full FA board meeting on Thursday. Board members are expecting the ‘three wise men’ to make their recommendation at that meeting – although they could still insist they need more time to make a decision.
Sunderland could finally be put out of their misery over Sam Allardyce's future by the end of this week.The Black Cats have grown increasingly angered by the FA's dawdling over appointing a new England manager, a week after they interviewed Allardyce for the role. Reports today have suggested that Hull boss and ex-Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has also now held talks with the FA over the role, although Allardyce remains the firm favourite. But with the FA's executive board due to meet at the end of this week, the three-man panel charged with finding Roy Hodgson's successor, could recommend a preferred candidate. That is likely to be Allardyce after the Sunderland manager has garnered a host of support both from the media and the football fraternity over the last fortnight. But if Allardyce is appointed, Sunderland would have just three weeks before the start of the season to appoint a successor and enter the transfer market.
What annoys me more than anything is the time scales of the "interviews". They should have all been within a couple of days of each other rather than a few weeks, the FA are not in the real world.
