He's on what 2m odd a year....

Some people are just like that though aren't they...always want a little extra even if you're financially secure for life.

Would imagine the FA will take a dim view of this so yes his job could well be in danger which would be pretty shambolic.

It proven, and it looks pretty conclusive, then I can't see how he can continue?

In other news, watched a bit of the Burnley game and Shaun Dyche's interview after.  Never fails to impress me, I wish we'd have broken the bank for him.

Alladyce has been in the game for decades. He should know he has to be very careful talking to people he does not know well or in fact at all.

I'm not a big, Big Sam fan by any stretch, and nor do I condone if he's done what has been alleged but I'm fucking fed up of the media in this country. I just think it's disgusting that they've set out to burn the new England manager. They're really vile in this country. In all matters of course, but relating particularly to football, England manager after England manager is roasted alive. And the players get hung out to dry whenever possible to. They build up this pressure cauldron that the national team and manager cannot handle, and whilst I have sympathy for England and their underperforming stars, and I do detest the way the media set out to make things even more difficult than they already are and they sit in wait for every inevitable failure (which they've contributed in no small part to) to pounce on the team.
Just fuck off.

If Big Sam has ballsed up and goes, then what? A new manager gets the job and the vultures begin digging and get ready to shred the fuck out of him. It's repugnant.

1 win in 9.. sounds familiar.

Think we dodged a bullet there to be honest. I'm still hopeful RDM will come good.

The fact that he has been "suspended" hours before a game, suggests that foul play is the reason. If it was because of his results he'd have just been sacked at the weekend or yesterday.

Well he either called the chairman a Cnut in yesterday's meeting or he decided to punish the players for the poor performances in a similar way that cost us some personal under the dour one.

Big Sam's a goner.  What a thick twat.  Southgate in charge for next 4 games.
