Sam Allardyce’s contract with FA is terminated

|

waving sam_allardyce_1528056cThe Football Association has confirmed former West Ham manager, Sam Allardyce has left his position as England manager by mutual consent. In a statement, the FA said: “Allardyce’s conduct, as reported today, was inappropriate of the England manager. 

“He accepts he made a significant error of judgement and has apologised. However, due to the serious nature of his actions, The FA and Allardyce have mutually agreed to terminate his contract with immediate effect. This is not a decision that was taken lightly but the FA’s priority is to protect the wider interests of the game and maintain the highest standards of conduct in football.

“The manager of the England men’s senior team is a position which must demonstrate strong leadership and show respect for the integrity of the game at all times.”

A statement from Sam Allardyce: “Further to recent events, the FA and I have mutually agreed to part company. It was a great honour for me to be appointed back in July and I am deeply disappointed at this outcome.

“This afternoon, I met with Greg Clarke and Martin Glenn and offered a sincere and wholehearted apology for my actions.

“Although it was made clear during the recorded conversations that any proposed arrangements would need the FA’s full approval, I recognise I made some comments which have caused embarrassment. As part of today’s meeting, I was asked to clarify what I said and the context in which the conversations took place. I have co-operated fully in this regard.

“I also regret my comments with regard to other individuals.”

Big Sam’s leaves the England job after just 67 days with a 100% win record.

  • Eddie says:

    Hehehe i know,i had to take a quick butchers myself.I noticed a couple of his bum kissers scratching around trying to absolve him of any blame.This must be a real choker for them 😀

  • GW says:

    So the dung beetle after rolling his ball of **** from north to south and getting paid millions for delivering nothing has finally been found out for being a corrupt lump of lard like a lot of us illiterates were saying for years. So to all of you wetlands hippo lovers that called us pigs, rabid dogs, uneducated trolls your messiah has been found out so ” Be careful what you wish for” 🙂

    • Sams P45 says:

      Haha i can think of one or two on there who have just had their bonfire well & truly p1ssed on haha 😀

      • GW says:

        P45 they’ll be defending him to the end but at the end of the day he’s been found out as the crooked,useless,overrated pile of **** that many of us were saying month on month and I couldn’t be happier that finally the country sees what we were seeing for 4 years! Bad luck dung beetle you’ll now always be remembered as the bent, corrupt England manager nothing more 🙂

  • Stinger says:

    This is the best and funniest news I have heard for quite sometime. lolololol

    Even funnier is those fools over at KUMB, Defending him and laying the blame at the Presses feet. They actually fail to see what he has done wrong at all.

    Only person to blame is the greedy **** Allardyce himself. Got his dream job and threw it away for sheer greed and money he did not need.

    (Now watch Bilic resign or get sacked and Gold and Sullivan rehire Fat Sam)

    • Stan The Man says:

      I was finding your comment funny until i read the last line Stinger lmao

      • Stinger says:

        It’s already began mate. Fans on other forums saying we should get Sam back as he is the ideal man to get us out of trouble.

        They wouldn’t would they? Someone please tell me our owners could not do that to us?

        • Spike says:

          I should think Fat Sham will be keeping his head down for a while.He wont be coming to us again im sure dude.

    • baddowhammer says:

      You need to get out more bruv.COYI

  • Spike says:

    Fat tw#t got his comeuppance.The man is a cockroach & who for one minute believes this is his first indiscretion.Good riddance,i hope he crawls under a rock with his best mate Keys.

  • JB says:

    This is a beautiful,beautiful article.BFSs has his football legacy complete now.So,so funny
    I bet BIG sam is feeling pretty small right now & it serves the greedy b4stard right.

  • essexclarets says:

    Lol he has fkd up his career for being like a fly around sh1t, dangle a little ££ in his fat face & he will do anything. Nothing more than he deserves. Rio got it bang on when he said at half time that the slug has made English football a laughing stock.
    The one job he has always wanted & kept saying he was the right man & he lasted 67 days. T W A T

    • RickHammer says:

      I remember when he was our gaffer & there were & had already been a few accusations levelled at him & Curtis.When any of us used to mention it we had the all seeing all knowing Wetpants coming over to tell us we were talking crap.I supoose this was just unfortunate & it was his first ever misdemeanour the telegraph got him for Lol 🙂

      • essexclarets says:

        Fair play to them Rick, most are saying the same as us. Bit hard to say anything good about him atm, he has been a prize ***** & only got himself to blame.

  • Michael Miller says:

    What a mug – his greed and stupidity finally put paid to him – the Daily Telegraph doesn’t come out of it with much credit but there must be more stuff to come out so the FA had no choice.

    I’ve read tonight some people saying they have some sympathy for BFS but no me – he got exactly what he deserved!

    • RickHammer says:

      Yeah i have read the same Michael.All his buddies in football saying they feel sorry for him .Its a joke it really is.

  • hammerjk says:

    It’s unbelievable isn’t it. How can u have sympathy for him. He is about as corrupt as they come along with his mate Curtis and has been found out. What a complete clown! Fans all over the world can probably breathe a sigh of relief that he will never again grace football with his hoofball sh*te

    • GW says:

      They’ll still be those calling for his return on Saturday like the CAPS LOCK clown.

      • hammerjk says:

        Ha ha. Yeah cos that’s likely to happen. I can imagine the conversation now:
        DS – ‘Hi Sam. Thanks very much for trying to drag our name through the mud with your Enner Valencia comments. Now would you like your job back?”

  • West Ham Fan No 32 says:

    I don’t think we will ever rehire him. Sunderland though they might, then Moyes will be on our list of targets if worst comes to worst, dear god no, not Moyes not Rafa, not AVB!

  • mattefumi27 says:

    Hahaha… this sounds like a joke, but it’s true… poor Hippo, he would have won the World Cup… now he will dedicate himself to his true passion, the dance… come on Sam, Strictly Come Dancing is waiting… lol 😀

    • hammerjk says:

      Not an image I want so close to bed time Matte. My nipper woke up with a night terror last night. Looks like it’s gonna be my turn tonight now. The dung beetle doing the salsa… Horrific

    • GW says:

      He’ll have a cunning plan how to win it Matte and an undercover reporter from the Sunday Sport will catch him on film trying to import sequins via Ecuador for his spandex trousers through a 3rd party 🙂

    • Radai Lama...Rises From The Ashes says:

      F*ck sake Matte thanks for that lol.Will he go off to marbella for a training camp first just to get his moves pefected in the clubs over there again lol 🙂

  • essexclarets says:

    Sit back & see who’s next…. this is going to get real messy. Someone has just wheeled an industrial sized fan past me 😉

  • Radai Lama...Rises From The Ashes says:

    Sammy Baby has all the moves lol

  • TRB says:

    A huge can of worms has been opened today.

    • RickHammer says:

      I wonder if Pearson has been suspended at Derby because of in club issues or he is about to be ‘outed’ as well.

    • kevin says:

      Reckon you’re right there , TRB . The Telegraph has opened a can of very fat worms .
      The squeaky clean FA is where an investigation would be best served ., and by using the same underhand tactics . This story still has a long way to go .

  • Sams P45 says:

    Well lads you had all been calling it for a long time now about Hippohead, despite getting shot down by some who claimed superior knowledge about him not being an underhand,devious sh1t.I guess you have been well & truly vindicated tonight.Fair play haha 😀

  • bubs says:

    This day should become a national holiday for every Englishman,
    We now have a chance to put a young forward thinking manager in charge who can produce a team that we are proud of
    Only one man for the job Eddie Howe step forward,
    Bruce and Pardew are no better then Tubby
