They haven't all been "Old geezers" though.
The England Manager is never going to be someone in their 30's. Even 40's is young.
The job doesn't involve working with the players on a daily basis, coaching, motivating etc. it's a TOTALLY different role to club management.
You are the top person in the countrys national sport so there has to be an element of maturity and old school.
Those guys are our top men? Holy crap.The England Manager is never going to be someone in their 30's. Even 40's is young.

Well he does have a point though. The game has gone downhill since Harold got sacked from being the manager in 1066.
Good point, didn't the winner go in like an arrow into the top corner, chap never saw it coming?....

He got nicked for being greedy and being somewhat dubious. He was always known for being so. What exactly are you having a problem with? I quite liked the bloke.
Ironically, I don't have a lot of time for him and agree that he's most likely corrupt. However, the hyperbole around this is quite bizarre. The business side was irrelevant. He didn't do anything, or get paid and he stated that he would have to run everything past the FA. He got sacked for taking the Micky out of Woy and the rest is just an opinion on what an assistant should do and why a royal should turn up.
He claims to know ways (and from the part of the interview i heard played on the radio) started to explain how to circumvent rules laid down by his employer. If he knew of loopholes, he should have gone to the FA with them to explore ways of closing them, not offered to sell his knowledge. If he was approached by a group wanting to explore ways of circumventing those rules, perhaps in his position he should have blown the whistle to his employer, rather than had a conversation about how he might profit from it.
Everybody knows the loopholes. I don't even follow football and I've heard That these things happen.
There are ways of getting movies without paying for them too, I've heard of that but I don't do it, if you asked me I could tell you in general how it's done.
He might be a cretin bad person whatever but in this 4 Hour conversation all they could get was an explanation and that he'd ask his bosses.
I'm not a lawyer but I see no wrongdoing in this

Must admit, as a Scotsman I have looked on at this with a kind of bemusement, as I'm still not entirely sure what he's done wrong, other than being Sam Allardyce - i.e a slightly dodgy piss-taking b
d, none of which was news when he took on the job. I actually found the fact that he wasn't perfect gave me a bit more respect for him. There are enough perfect people above reproach on Twitter, so not sure why I'd want more in the newspapers.
It's improved Scotland's chances of beating England later on this year however, so not all bad
