‘Jealous, because that should be me there.’

I don't get the hatred for him. I also think he was set up and done up like a kipper in order to have him taken out of the England set up.
Just my thoughts but the man has done nothing wrong in the overall aspect of the game.
There's no criminal act, just perks of the game that more than likely most would take advantage of.

The issue only becomes an issue when one or two people become the target of media manipulation, obviously on the back of a nudge nudge from somewhere higher up to discredit someone in order for them to be taken out of the equation.

I honestly and truthfully do not understand the hate for Allardyce.

Besides his family, close friends and cronies there's possibly only you and him in the whole country with those views.

What about a conspiracy theory about what he was up to when he was appointed to the England job?

Do you know what he was up to?

I'm well aware of it all. He's committed no real crime. He's been hung out to dry for opening his gob. His fault for doing it and falling for the journalistic scam.
He's lost his England job over it because, in my opinion (like I said earlier) he was set up to lose.

By all means hate him and go with whatever you feel. I'm just giving my view.
