Wow... So this could be the end for Allardyce already then huh?

 

[StatesideSensFan]

Wasn't it always rumored that Sam liked a bung? Not surprising he would be teaching others ways around FA rules.

 

[Deficient Mode]

-He's not wrong that there are ways to circumvent rules against third party ownership and it still persists.

-Third party ownership is still hugely problematic. Gangs of investors buying up South American players, driving up transfer prices, for which fans ultimately foot a huge part of the bill in the form of ticket prices or cable packages. I'd rather players stayed in South America than the sport facing inflation through parasites who contribute absolutely nothing to the sport.

-Big Sam is popular in the Far East? ROFL. Also, he compares getting money for speaking gigs or singing at weddings to getting money for promoting circumvention of FA rules by which he is supposed to abide? Lovely. Capitalizing on your celebrity isn't the problem, *******. It's promoting dubious or illegal activity.

-Didn't know what bungs were before.

What is a bung? I'm a little lost on that part.

Gracias. Kinda what I figured it was, but wasn't sure

no problem, sheds some light on who you are dealing with(Big Sam) and the shady nature of football.

Soccer all around is very shady. It's not just FIFA, but almost every confederation is pretty corrupt now a days.

 

[Live in the Now]

Yes, please sack him. For the rest of history the record will show him as the only England manager with a 100% record.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Maybe the Hillary or Trump campaigns will hire him? They love corruption!!

 

[Ceremony]

I know I'd want a man who drinks pints of wine in charge of my country's football team, regardless of what human rights-circumventing schemes he endorsed

Pirlo as next Scottish national team coach?

 

[Savant]

Adam Lallana

The only player ever to score under Allardyce's regime.

Who was runner up when Fat Sam was hired? Klinsmann?

What is a bung? I'm a little lost on that part.

A brown, money-filled envelope.

 

[Chimaera]

I mean, is anyone shocked?

I'm a bit shocked that he was caught on tape, but I'm not quite shocked it occurs.

Top level football is corrupt. Water is wet. That's the main point this is showing.

 

[Burner Account]

This week should be interesting.

Over the coming days the Telegraph will detail how:

-The assistant manager of a high-profile football club accepted a £5,000 cash “bung”

-Ten managers were named by players’ agents as taking bribes to fix player transfers

-Two well-known managers discussed becoming ambassadors for the same fictitious firm as Sam Allardyce

-Another high-profile manager admitted his players broke FA rules by betting on their own games but he failed to report it

-A senior figure at a Premier League club helped undercover reporters to formulate a plan to bribe managers

 

[East Coast Bias]

Come on, England. You want Klinsman. You need Jurgen. Come and get him.

 

[Luigi Habs]

I thought corruption exists in italian football only. Silly me.

Well I at least never imagined that or how managers would be implicated in the corruption.

You're going to be waiting a long time for that bubble to burst.

 

[Live in the Now]

Greatest England manager in history has left his post.

 

[davemess]

Resigned rather than being sacked by the sounds of it.

 

[Halladay]

Take Klinsmann

 

[Luigi Habs]

Resigned rather than being sacked by the sounds of it.

Probably forced to resign so they don't pay him a cent
