As for press tactics they are obvious, used by the fake Sheik all the time, find celeb wanting a bit more profile / £ – invite them for a few drinks, discuss drugs ask if celeb can get them some => front page splash about drug dealing. Sam should have seen it coming
From the coverage I’ve seen all he did is agree to give a speech for £400k and make a statement of the obvious that there are ways around FA rules. Allardice has been pretty stupid but it would be simpler if England manager had a clause saying no outside earnings.
Hodgson was a terrible choice, just appointed as FA felt Rednap was too much of a risk
for once Jambalaya, i find myself completely agreeing with you!!
The FA is completely dysfunctional, and not fit for purpose. Well… unless the sole purpose is to create a massive, self-serving, corrupt gravy train.
Just appointing manager after manager, set up to fail from the off, is just papering over the fact that the whole system of English football is completely and utterly ****ed! And the half-arsed, shambolic tournament humiliations simply reflect whats going on off the pitch
this is also spot on!
