The greed of Sam Allardyce is an even bigger disgrace to our national team than our abysmal Euro 2016 blunder
His disregard for a job many would give their right arm for boggles the mind and has made us an even bigger laughing stock
THE greed of Sam Allardyce boggles the mind.
Here was a man facing the greatest challenge and privilege of his long career — managing England for £3million a year plus bonuses.
His every waking thought ought to have been on how to transform a team of perpetual losers.
Instead, before he had presided over even his first game, his focus was on using his new status to grub around for even more dosh.
Greed alone isn’t usually a sacking offence. But an England manager cannot survive if he suggests to strangers that he will flout the rules of his FA employers for money.
