Don't know if it's been mentioned earlier in the thread but Allardyce featured heavily with a couple of other managers in a TV documentary about 10 years ago involving bungs related to signings. I don't think anything ever came of that.
If it's a case of gross moral turpitude the FA ought to be able to just tear up the contract with no compensation.
The interesting this is what happens to his backroom staff... Shakespeare gave up a great job to jump ship...
Arrrh, I see that now. And the moral of the story Ernie is don't try to answer hard questions at quarter past seven in the morning before the caffeines had time to kick in.
Is this all he said? Is there more? Cos i dont see anything in that myself. WHAT BIG SAM SAID TO UNDERCOVER REPORTERS ON ROY HODGSON: 'He'd send them all to sleep, Roy. Woy. He hasn't got the personality for it.' ON WHERE ROY WENT WRONG: 'Players let him down in the end (at the Euros). I think maybe he was too indecisive. Cast a bit of anxiety over to the players maybe. I mean prior to the Iceland game, he won all 10 qualifiers. We'd drawn with Russia (in the first game), we should have won. We beat Wales, and that was our worst performance. We drew with Slovakia, and we only had to draw with Iceland to get through... he just collapsed.' ON GARY NEVILLE AND HODGSON ARGUING OVER RASHFORD: 'They were arguing for 10 minutes about bringing (Marcus Rashford) on (against Iceland), him and Gary Neville. So Gary was the wrong influence for him. ****ing tell Gary to sit down and shut up, so you can do what you want. You're the manager, you do what you want, not what anyone else (wants).' ON PLAYERS BEING LEFT OUT FOR THE CLUBS: 'Can't play them then. Joe Hart. Jack Wilshere, on the bench for Arsenal. Oxlade- Chamberlain on the bench. You can play them, but they're not playing for the club. When they're not playing for the club, they're just short of match practice.' ON THIRD-PARTY OWNERSHIP: 'It's not a problem… we got (Enner) Valencia in (for West Ham). He was third party owned when we bought him from Mexico.' ON HIS £400,000 DEAL WITH THE FICTITIOUS FIRM: 'Keynote speaking, that's what I'd be doing, keynote speaking. I'm a keynote speaker.' ON REBUILDING WEMBLEY: 'They (the FA) stupidly spent £870million on Wembley, so they're still paying that debt off. They completely rebuilt it. If they'd built it anywhere else, it would have cost about £400m. They completely floored it and then rebuilt the new stadium which is fabulous, but that sort of debt is not really what you want. 'Most of the money the FA make will go to the interest on the debt.' ON THE FA:They're all about making money, aren't they? You know the FA's the richest football association in the world? Well, I shouldn't say that. They're not the richest at all. What they do is they have the biggest turnover in the world with £325m.'

I know. Bonkers aint it? A little naive sure, but dishonest? No. Criminal? No. Just shows what ****s our press are, even the so called higher brow broadsheets. Anyhow, on the bright side, he's available now. I hope someone from our clubs started the negotiations.
