    Would they dare take the WAGS to major tournaments though . . . .

    But yes, Howe would be best from a frankly rather restricted English group. His lack of sucking up to the media may be a handicap, though I see it as a virtue.

    I don't agree with this method, that's all I'm saying.

    I don't think they really have any choice in this case but to sack him, if they don't it's basically like Annakin Skywalker (Big Sam) in star wars always wanting to be a Jedi (England job) and then when the dream comes true ends up joining the sith when that was the one thing he swore to defeat ( Corruption in football).

    Have to say that I have had conversations that I wouldn't want broadcast to the world and we all exaggerate things to impress or get a laugh, but nowadays a high profile person must be aware of the dangers. Apparently he did say several times that he couldn't get involved without FA clearance.

    It is so wrong to even compare the great Luke Skywalker to Fat Sam, even if just an analogy. Wrong. Just wrong. yoda.gif

    Yep we use cones for dribbling practice and spend our money on massive facilities for elite footballers and 4G pitches. Easter island used these great big statues for dribbling practice and spend all their money on bus fares to make sure all their kids can play football for free.

    The top reply to Flores' tweet where Allardyce is laughing at him and Flores starts squaring up to him for those can't remember their 'beef'.

    Well, after Sunday's display, Fat Sam will have a job back at West Ham the day after he's sacked. Porno Dave won't care about how much mud may be flying about.

    Am told there are more revelations to come on Allardyce (& several PL managers). Whatever the details, will get worse before it gets better.

    We need a forward thinking guy, who's squeaky clean & not in it for the money.
    'Arry Redknapp. <laugh>
    Joking aside, I hope they spill all the new info quickly and don't let this drag on, its already pretty depressing.

    I've never, not once, read a sting story and thought "I'd have been trapped by that." Not even the Max Mosley one. People are only caught by this kind of thing if they deserve it. And sometimes it's the only way to find out the truth about someone. Think how many lives would have been improved if someone had done something like this with Maxwell* before he filched the pension funds*.

    100% with vin.
    Stings could also be a bit of a deterrent in that aspect.
