I wonder why the Telegraph stung him so quickly.

What has the passage of time got to do with it? He's an idiot playing to his own ego from what I have seen.

I bloody despair at our media.

I can't see many other countries going out of their way to undermine the manager of their national football team.

Nobody is going to want the job before long.

Utter, utter, short-sighted and fkwitted wkers.
I disagree. Allardyce brought this on himself. The Telegraph went after him because he has form, gave him some rope and he hung himself. Entirely Allardyce's fault.

Presumably because:

a) they could; and
b) they knew they'd better get in quick before someone else did

He must be particularly dimwitted to get himself into such a mess.

FFS. Why on earth would he think of doing this? Gets his dream job and become wealthy in his latter years yet blows it!! Unreal.

This. 100%.

The bloke is a stupid, naive, egotistical dhead who was never suitable in a million years of being the manager of the English national team. When this sting took place he hadn't even picked his first team! We should be thanking the Telegraph on bended knee for helping get rid of him before he ruined the national teams reputation even further. The only problem with this of course is that the same fkING MUPPETS in the FA who picked him in the first place will now be picking his replacement.

It's an utter, utter fking disaster. frown

The schadenfreude is very strong here.

Not that BFS would understand that.

Reminds me of Yes Prime Minister...

[discussing a financial scandal]
Sir Desmond Glazebrook: They've broken the rules.
Sir Humphrey: What, you mean the insider trading regulations?
Sir Desmond Glazebrook: No.
Sir Humphrey: Oh. Well, that's one relief.
Sir Desmond Glazebrook: I mean of course they've broken those, but they've broken the basic, the basic rule of the City.
Sir Humphrey: I didn't know there were any.
Sir Desmond Glazebrook: Just the one. If you're incompetent you have to be honest, and if you're crooked you have to be clever. See, if you're honest, then when you make a pig's breakfast of things the chaps rally round and help you out.
Sir Humphrey: If you're crooked?
Sir Desmond Glazebrook: Well, if you're making good profits for them, chaps don't start asking questions; they're not stupid. Well, not that stupid.
Sir Humphrey: So the ideal is a firm which is honest and clever.
Sir Desmond Glazebrook: Yes. Let me know if you ever come across one, won't you.

Mentioned on C4 news that he had offered to resign too.
Just hope the greedy sod isn't walking away with a large proportion of his contract paid-up in his back pocket; given the employer and the circumstances sweet FA would seem far more appropriate!

I don't think they're going to be 'picking' his replacement, more begging and hoping there's someone out there stupid enough to take it on.

Everyone knows Big Sam was a bit close to the edge, and in this case, all he has done has hinted that he knows a loophole and knows someone who can do it. He's done nothing wrong, other than to place his trust in people who had been building themselves up as trustworthy for nearly a year.

I'm sure we've all been stabbed in the back by someone we took into our social circle / professional circle and trusted. That's exactly how Sam will be feeling today.

An accepted term in football, "we" means the club but sort of entwined with the support, surely you knew this?

I'm a Sunderland fan, so here is another example for you, this one is a factual statement based on my observations on Saturday afternoon.

"We were ste at the weekend, as per usual'.
