Sam Allardyce

You'd rather give a young 'up and coming manager' a minimum EIGHT YEAR contract?!

Who is this 'proven winner' and will he be bringing his own magic wand?

A young up and coming manager would provide consistency of a style of play at least, that could be implemented across the teams, showing some sort of plan, I wouldnt give him an 8 year contract but would hope for 8 years in the job. The FA have jumped from one style of manager to another, in successive appointments, no consistency, no real plan and basically admitting they have got it wrong time and time again by appointing different styles each time. Eddie Howe has won more in the game than the uber experienced, safe hands of fat Sam.

You think that not appointing the very best that you can is a good idea and appointing a proven none winner is better? As I said in previous posts, the FA is probably the richest in the world but has settled for not even second best in appointing fat Sam.

It's a bit of a poisoned chalice; the very best probably don't want the job.
As for young, up and coming managers, I heard something about Eddie Howe doing a coaching role. That could be ideal for a long term plan, if he goes on to become manager later.
 
When does he announce Kevin Nolan as Engerland Captain and Andy Carroll Vice?
 
Imo the manager of the national needs to have the same nationality and able to gel the internationals to act and play like a team. Age doesn't matter. Football fame or experience by age to man manage helps.
Allerdyce can be the right man. At least he ticks a few boxes and isn't afraid to ignore the media.

A good point made on 5live is that BFS has a "Hardcore" of trusted journalists he wines and dines to keep onside. He must have picked that nugget off GPC. I wouldnt be surprised if he told them he got the job to stop Sunderland blocking it behind the scenes hence the FA interviewing Nora Batty as a back up.
 
Welcome aboard Big Sam...one question remains...
Remember when you were 'sending a taxi round to the BBC' with your writ against them for deformation after some unpleasantness was revealed about your dealings, and the involvement in Sam jnr in transfer bungs...well, has it arrived yet?

Should fit right in.
 
Pleased as I am at Wales improved FIFA rankings, I was aware that in-ger-land were moving in the opposite direction. However, I hadn't realised they had tumbled so low as to have to appoint 'Fat Sam' to help them in a relegation fight.
