A job almost guaranteed to ruin your career? I think you need to make it worth people's while if you want decent candidates in future.

 
So a vote of confidence for the next World Cup tournament. :grin:

Could be Sam Allardyce didn't want it any longer than that.

Feather in his cap if he can achieve what Alf Ramsey did 50 years ago.
 
Story on the BBC website now. Also see who has the most goals conceeded from set pieces in PL.


The FA panel said it wanted a strong-minded, tactically savvy manager who could build a clear team identity.

Glenn told BBC sports editor Dan Roan the new manager would need to "build resilience" in players so they are able to deal with criticism on social media and the pressures of an "intensely passionate" English media.

Neil McDonald, who has worked alongside Allardyce at three Premier League clubs, said: "He gives the players everything they need to perform to the highest level and lets them express themselves as much as they possibly can.

I actually read that as AFCB as having 6th lowest percentage conceded from set pieces. Bit misleading though cos obviously AFCB concedes a lot from open play too!

Mentions in this story that when he returns from holiday he could end up at Wolves. How many managers leave without compensation these days?

Steve Bruce quit Hull City without a penny in compensation after he failed to land three transfer targets, writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People.

The Geordie left in frustration on Friday following conversations over the Tigers' policy in the market with vice-chairman Ehab Allem.

Interesting to know who the centre half at Bordeaux that he was reportedly interested in!

Worth checking out (assuming the player hasn"t already moved on) ?
