Sunderland slam FA for ‘damaging’ talks with Sam Allardyce over England manager job

FURIOUS Sunderland have told the FA to hurry up and make a decision over Sam Allardyce.

Black Cats boss Big Sam, 61, was interviewed for the vacant England manager’s job on Tuesday.

Sunderland have reluctantly given the go-ahead to speak to to FA about England job

But his Premier League  club have called the uncertainty surrounding their boss “extremely damaging” and ordered “a swift resolution”.

SunSport understands Allardyce will NOT re-join Sunderland’s pre-season training camp in Austria — and the club are lining up David Moyes as a potential replacement.

Allardyce, who held talks at FA vice-chairman David Gill’s Cheshire home, has told coaches Robbie Stockdale and Paul Bracewell to take charge of the squad until they fly back tomorrow.

It is a clear sign Big Sam’s mind has already wandered to the Three Lions job.

Sunderland chiefs are pre-empting his exit by drawing up plans for a successor, with former Manchester United boss Moyes top of the shortlist.

The Black Cats twice approached the Scot last year — in May after Dick Advocaat quit and again in October when the Dutchman left for a second time.

Moyes, 53, was then in charge of Real Sociedad.
