Former Football Association director David Davies believes Sir Alex Ferguson has influenced the appointment of Sam Allardyce as the new England manager, because of his relationship with former Manchester United chief executive David Gill.
Is there any part of the game that David Gill does not hold influence over - does he never stop and consider conflicts of interest. The man who apparently wrote the FFP rules and guess what, they were just what Man United needed.
Also got to remember that Slur Alex also recommended David Moyes as his successor and from a City perspective it was spectacularly successful if somewhat short lived - lets hope Sam's appointment is less disastrous - a Scotsman allegedly influencing the England Manager appointment - really!!!
