Can't wait to see how the British media will undermine Big Sam and bring about his eventual failure just like every other poor sod who takes the job

Sam Allardyce is "the right person" to manage England, according to Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.

Yeah I bet he said that for purely altruistic reasons and not because h edesperately wants Sam to be not managing a Prem team next season.

Aren't Jose and Sam meant to be quite good friends nowadays ever since they did an England vs Rest of the World game together? Jose even apologised for the "19th Century Football" remark.

Can we get some code tags going?

code:
                   Forster
Walker - Cahill - Smalling - Bertrand
Sterling - Dier - Henderson - Alli - Downing
                     Carroll
Or would Big Sam prefer Townsend on the left?

All Big Sam has ever wanted was to manage a beautiful team of hard-working English lads, none of this da Silva or Fritzenberg or Gobbalobbalinglong. It's the perfect situation for everyone.

I can't remember the match but I remember Noble going loving ballistic at Allardyce subbing maybe Downing? and Allardyce having to take Nolan off instead since the players just stood there shouting at him.

Lol if anyone thinks we won't continue to get the same attempts to crowbar 11 popular names onto the pitch at any given time apart from during useless friendlies where a token in form name from a smaller club will be tossed onto the pitch, never to be seen again after a nervy performance.

The FA and sponsors are a big part of the problem and they're not changing/going away any time soon.

If I have anything positive at all to say about big sam it's that he's probably the only english manager who is quite happy to tell the money to gently caress itself if it doesn't agree with him.

Otoh, this has clearly been his career ambition since he was young, and he might kowtow more than normal.

The whole reason they never employed Brian Clough was because he wouldn't toe the line.
