    Well he's not a criminal trying to evade from the truth in a police interview.

    Besides, I don't get the big deal. What he said was pretty bland and inoffensive ....... essentially "let's wait for the facts before we persecute Allardyce".

    What an idiot. Should spell the end of his career.
    He's also fat.

    True. I have no sympathy for him. If it's an investigation they've been building for months, Sam must have had a rep for being dirty and the investigation led them to him. He should have kept his nose clean especially after getting the England role. After the Fifa scandals, I would have thought he'd have been smarter.

    Why does Wenger say it's only 'suggestions' as if that's not bad enough? Just the appearance of corruption is enough. Not sure why Wenger would say that.

    No this is just a media honey trap in the mould of the fake sheikh

    This kind of thing doesn't expose systemic corruption, it exposes human frailty. People at the end of the day only do what they think they can get away with, and if the FA were convinced that Allardyce was the right man for the job they should have kept him.

    The whole thing was a fabrication, it's not like Don Revie where he was in bed with Arab interests

    It sounds more like they didn't like his comments about Woy and Wembley.

    The more of these corrupt arseholes get caught out the better.

    Even if it is by a bent media.

    Fat Sam deserves it because he is corrupt. This is the best thing to happen to English football for ages. The more shit that's peeled away, the better.

    Drag it right through the gutter, and keep going until all that's left is a game of football.

    Nah. Go big or go home.

    300k is not retirement cash.

    Unless you're already fucking minted.

    If it's an altruistic media doing it to remove the corrupt elements from it then great. I rather suspect this is only occuring because he was the England manager, why not do it before he ever got the job? I highly doubt this is brand new informaton on how Fat Sam was.

    I don't have any particular sadness for Fat Sam, I don't think he should have been manager in the first place purely for football reasons alone. To me it strikes more as a media that will look for any opportunity to undermine the national team but then be the first ones to ask "why has it all gone wrong?".

    In essence sure, remove the nefarious elements from the game, not going to argue with that but I don't think labelling this as being that automatically is really going to help achieve that long term.
