The FA don't sack people without cause and he yes he was caught in a sting that involved him taking money outside of any FA rules. Could have happened to any manager yes..... but didn't it happened to him. That's not my recollection as I seem to remember him saying that he would have to run it past the FA first. He was sacked because he brought a stain onto the FA's lilly white reputation and given a large payoff as compensation

Something like £600mill turnover it will be at the end of 2017 since 2012 and if we are back in The Champ not much will have been achieved at all for the long-term benefit of the club by Parish et al. There is a reason why one of our stands is named after one of the old owners. He deserved it.

Has he been appointed then. Must have missed the announcement. .... Personally I can see the Welsh wizard taking over. Taken Wales as far as he can, jump ship before it all goes wrong....

I think you're wrong there Geoff. He gave advice on how to exploit a loophole. No different from an accountant giving tax advice. Sacking him was the FA seeking to appear holier than thou. Given the entrenched corruption in football this exhibited a level of hypocrisy that I thought even below our esteemed governing body. As to a police investigation, I seem to recall the police investigating Gazza recently when he asked a black friend to smile in a wedding photo as he couldn't "see" him. Clearly a desperately poor taste joke thought abandoned somewhere in the mid-1970s - but criminal conduct? Likewise, the media went nuts over Allardyce so the police had to give the appearance of investigating. Eventually - after a suitable period has elapsed - they or the CPS will announce that the investigation will not lead to a criminal prosecution because... err... there was no criminal conduct. It is the nature of things. As for Big Fat Sam - not mine or many people's favourite. Pardew was making us the least successful most entertaining side in the league. SA will reverse that... to an extent. However, to retain our status [which is the only way we can fully finance the rebuilding of our dilapidated infrastructure] we need to be in this league. At 62 he has 2/3 years in the helm. By which time we will still be up; the ground improvements will have begun; we will have a deeper squad; we will have a fitter squad which will not only stop us leaking last minute goals but may also reduce the sort injury levels we have suffered in 2016; we will have raised our academy to Cat A; and we will have vastly upgraded the facilities away from the ground. That would be the time to bring in a bright flamboyant manager who will swap dull mid-table for exciting just-above-mid-table. I don't think our club is ready for that just now. Too small; too fragile. I've no argument with any of that ST; that's pretty much how it is.

Strange post, I don't remember him being convicted of anything, just caught in a sting that could happen to a number of managers. Well his son was done for dodgy deals on players, and was directly involved with Sam... He's shady as f**k but your quite right, a) he's never been convicted of an actual crime b) only under investigation by the FA at present over the England Job loss stunt. But whether he's an ethical or unethical person, isn't really the question, its whether he's a good football manager and the answer is yes, he is. And not anywhere near as hoofy as people think. His last season with West Ham, they played some very good football when they had the players available, and resorted to more 'defensive football' only when the opposition were 'a class above' or they had too many injuries.

We've been talking to him for at least an hour and a half and he still hasn't won us any points. Awful.
