Pearson to be outed in tomorrow's papers...?

[Uke]

There can only be one man for the job...

This is my last job - there won't be another job for me, I feel I have got something to offer England and this job.

He's available now apparently

[6ft Kerplunk]

Alan Stubbs?

Depends on the compensation deal Rotherham can get

I think you need to update your football knowledge.

Worst post I have ever seen in this forum.

And this is a forum that Paul, Ian and RR post in.

Southgate reportedly taking over as caretaker manager for up to 4 games - Malta, Slovenia, Scotland, Spain.

great.

I bet the Maltese and Slovenian teams are having a massive celebration piss up.

Who would have thought football was awash with bent money and people taking bungs? I'm shocked.

Might explain a few odd managerial sackings though.

Alan Stubbs?

No offence Uke but your posts are usually pretty poor.

It needs updating

Go and do some press ups or something

I can see the FA now holding out for Wenger...

With further dark days ahead for English football and managers, the FA wont be touching any of the likes of Pardew, Bruce etc.....

Potentially brings Howe closer to the job also.

I could see that happening.

Wenger to England, Howe to Arsenal with Wenger still around in an advisory/board kind of role and then Howe to England after Wenger has done 4 years.

[stealthpapes]

Shuffling the deckchairs. Won't matter one jot without looking at the players five to ten years away from being pros.

[Royal Rother]

...at least Howe is young so the chances of him having been corrupted are lower than all the other candidates!

[Hoop Blah]

There's a huge amount of that that is simply not even controversial. And by all accounts Allardyce repeatedly told them that any business deals would need to be cleared with the FA. It does look ill advised but it also smacks of the paper not having a huge amount to put not a story so just chucking every comment in and hoping something sticks.

Agreed that most of it seems like a storm in a tea-cup but you just have to wonder what went through their minds in agreeing to it anyway. Really disappointed in Sam and his advisers for tripping up like this.

It's more embarrassing than anything underhand but it also smacks of the media again trying to undermine the national team.

It sounds like they've got a lot more substantial dirt on the wider football community but they've led with Big Sam for the big headlines. Could be a lot of fall out but, from what I've read, I don't think it'll see Allardyce losing his job.

Well, obviously more than just a storm in a teacup then!

I'm more than a little surprised that, from what I heard/read, this has cost him the job but I guess the FA are making some kind of stand here but I'm still struggling to see quite what he did that was that wrong.

The wider implications for English football from the investigations that The Telegraph have been running will be interesting. I'm not sure they've got a lot more evidence than a load of slimy agents mouthing off to try and win some business off a bunch of supposedly rich foreigners looking to throw their own cash around.
