Doesn't Allardyce just get a buttwad of cash if he gets sacked? And some lovely club will hire him within a year, anyway. He wins either way.

I'm sure they're not really surprised, it's one of those things where as long as they can reasonably plead ignorance of his misbehaviour they don't care, but its a lot harder to turn a blind eye to it if there's HD video of him stuffing forged fivers into his tracksuit and calling Prince harry a bellend

There's rumblings on the quiet among the sports hacks that theres another Big Sam story that someone is sitting on expecting him to get a slap on the wrist here.

I reckon he was just weaselly enough to squeak through, with all the "it can be done" and "need to clear it with the powers that be" rather than outright stating he will do it for them, unless that is waiting in reserve

His defense is twofold: He didn't know that the two business men were looking to talk about football, and initially believed it to be about motivational speaking, which he wouldn't have to disclose to the FA and he wasn't corrupt in offering an opinion, just that his decision to do so was ill judged on bad advice.

The first one doesn't hold up to scrutiny though because he clearly knew after the first meeting that it was about speaking about football and not motivational speaking when he took the second meeting. The second he'll probably be able to weasel through.

England should just forget about football and come up with a new sport, maybe focus on that instead. It worked for the Americans.

Nigel Pearson won't be taking charge of Derby tonight at the request of the club. So there's one of the five. Unless he's just headbutted someone and its unrelated.

One of the agents who was with Big Sam has issued a press statement in which he's taken a unique defense - that he was talking bollocks to them and lying about clubs he had dealt with to try and impress them. He also seems to not be aware that there's a video of the whole thing as he's trying to claim he never said some of the things that are on the video.
