Don't expect the FA to make a decision this week, they have another group of experts from other sports coming in to consult next week. Also someone is now briefing against Big Sam to the hacks in order to try and slow the flow of opinion pieces on why he's the man for the job.

I had never heard the story about why Big Sam fell out of favour with the FA last time he was in the frame which must have been pre Hodgson : They asked him to do a presentation about his thoughts on the team and how they would play, but when he showed up they didn't have a copy of powerpoint so couldn't run his slide show. Apparently they felt this was Sam showing them up.

Big Sam's fault IMO. PowerPoint is boring. Bring on iPads and VR headsets. England needs a modern man.

this was like 10 years ago, when powerpoint was vaguely modern.

I can totally believe that big sam is not enough of a yes man for them.

in retrospect with his personality Terry Venables seems like a maverick choice, although I suppose he had managed Barcelona and was a very good manager.

If we get Steve Bruce over big sam... loving hell..

Steve Bruce's big pitch was apparently that he would have Alan Shearer as his number two to groom him for the position.

Presumably after Steve Bruce they'll be interviewing Adam Johnson then?

I feel for My Friends Sunderland. Now not only do they have to find a new manager, they have to find a second one to get them out of the mess the first one will make by Christmas

I love everything that Big Sam does apart from manage football teams. I don't have to watch his side play week-in-week-out anymore but still get to watch him wind up foreign managers and generally be a oval office. It's win/win

Plus, maybe a West Ham player will actually play for England now.

There are going to be much better managers than Big Sam available within like 6 months. Seems like the FA could've appointed a caretaker and waited until Spurs collapse to get Poch.

I just hope Allardyce doesn't get ideas above his station and thinks he's Allardici. I want him playing lovely route one football with bit cunts up front and at the back. Also possibly in the midfield.

Hey as one of them entitled West Ham fans who hated Sam as West Ham manager I'm overjoyed to see him as England manager.

Wait Kevin Nolan is definitely too old for an England callup isn't he?
