Allardyce wants FA to go English

 

Sam Allardyce would feel let down if the Football Association appointed a foreign manager to succeed England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson.

 

Bolton manager Allardyce told The Sunday Mirror: "I would feel betrayed if the FA chose a foreign manager.

 

"Sven was the right man at the time, but the job must go to an Englishman."

 

Allardyce is sure he is the man for the job: "I don't think there is another manager in this country who has achieved as much as I have."

 

Allardyce added: "That might sound big-headed to others but, if you compare the money we have all spent on players and wages, pound for pound my record's as good as anyone's.

 

"If you had a league table based on money spent and the relative success achieved, I'd think Bolton would be top of it every year.

 

"Chelsea have spent £270m. If I had spent that amount I'd guarantee winning the title every year. That would be the minimum requirement.

 

"Certainly if I finish in a Champions League spot this season then I'd like to think that would strengthen my chances of becoming England manager."

Never heard a manager pimp himself for the job quite as much. Must have some agreement with Phil Gartside at Bolton about it.

[Benitez]

its a bit embarrassing him touting himself like that!

 

But I hope he gets the job

FFS Allardyce change the record

"I don't think there is another manager in this country who has achieved as much as I have."

Pure delusion

Allardyce added: "That might sound big-headed

in more ways than one, sam, more ways than one.

"I would feel betrayed if the FA chose a foreign manager.

 

And i'd feel betrayed if they appointed some fat-headed Jabba the hut nomark.

[Tones]

Hes pathetic. Hes almost begging for the job. Doing anything he can to put the opposition down.

[CarraLegend]

We've got these soon so cant wait for his next installment of "I'm better than Rafa Benitez."

[McBain]

If they appoint him i'd stop watching England

[Guest Budo]

I hope he gets it too, 'cause you lot crucify your international managers and I can't think of many I would like to see crucified more than that FAT MOUTHED F****R!

[Guest Sabre]

I hope he gets it so he can be embarrassed on a worldwide scale

[Earl Hafler]

I heard he has no chance.

[Swipe]

He must have found out he's bottom of the list, and this is his response.

 

He's such a big, walrusy t***!

Sam planning his takeover of the FA.

And i'd feel betrayed if they appointed some fat-headed Jabba the hut nomark.

I wish they would appoint Allardyce but I'm pretty sure they won't. He's positioning himself as the Brian Clough of his generation with added xenophobia.
