    O/T Big Sam

    Allardyce leaves the England post after being caught in a sting . Why is enough money never enough for these rich men and is this the shortest international boss stint ever ?

    Hammer ask your workmate Fraz about big Sam as I think his mother or father came from Lochmaben and Fraz's dad knew him.

    There is just too much money sloshing around in the English game in particular and with corrupt agents demanding cuts of all transactions then this results in the greed that caught out Allardyce. Endemic in the EPL as well as at international level with the recent FIFA and EUFA corruption cases.

    Nice work if you can get eh - 1 game, 1 win. sacked, ! million compo. Allardyce also has directorships in another 19 companies - what drives people like him, Sepp Blatter, Platini etc who have millions in the bank to corruptly want more and more !

    Why did he do it? Greed: and because he thought he would get away with it. He's not the first mega-rich sportsman to be caught out and he is unlikely to be the last.

    What a fool. Can't get my head around that level of stupidity.
