The Big Sam had the big fall

‘Big Sam’ was never going to be a successful England manager anyway. After all, there is no risk of relegation while managing England and that’s the only time he becomes a master-mind manager.

On 26th September, 2016, Daily Telegraph published an undercover video that exposed the current Crystal Palace manager. ‘Big Sam’ was filmed talking to a fictitious businessman on how to get around the stringent rules imposed by FIFA and FA that bars third-party ownership of players.

He then went on to make derogatory remarks on Gary Neville and Roy Hodgson before labelling HM Revenue and Customs “the most corrupt company in the world.”

Needless to say, the following day, Allardyce and the FA mutually terminated the contract that bound him to the England job.
