As regards the article I'd have been shocked if he'd left for any other reason. He left Bolton for the supposed step-up to Newcastle and it went pear-shaped fast. Sunderland was a very good fit and unless a top top club was going to come for him (and they weren't as he just wasn't a fashionable enough manager to interest the top 4) I think there's a good chance that he'd still be there now. Fine margins.

Sam Allardyce said it himself. Why would he make that up?Has that been shown to be true? I know that it was mentioned, it's just that I can't see Ashley doing it as he's very thin-skinned and bloody minded. I'm not going to claim to understand Ashley, but to me it feels unlikely to be a thing that he'd do even if the alternative was actual relegation.
