BREAKING: Sam Allardyce sacked as England manager
SAM ALLARDYCE is set to quit as England manager TONIGHT after claims he used his job as Three Lions boss to land a £400,000 deal.
The Sun exclusively revealed this morningthat Big Sam feared for his job as England manager after being caught on camera trying to land the deal.
FA chairman Greg Clarke and chief executive Martin Glenn held an emergency meeting at Wembley this morning and are understood to be extremely disturbed by the allegations,according to The Times.
It is thought that the FA feel they will have to terminate Allardyce’s contract, with concerns at what else might be washed out.
But sources say the ex-Sunderland chief may take the decision upon himself and resign from the job he has longed for.
Either way, his future will be decided on Tuesday night.
The boss was caught on film by The Telegraph appearing to abuse his position to help businessmen “get around” FA transfer rules.
He is accused to meeting up with a bogus consortium, who were in fact undercover reporters posing as Far East businessmen who claimed they were interested in bringing overseas players to England.
Allardyce, 61 – who is paid £3million a year plus bonuses as England manager – agreed to travel to Singapore and Hong Kong as an ambassador and explained to the “businessmen” how they could circumvent FA rules which prohibit third parties “owning” players.
Allardyce was playing in the Football Writers’ golf day at Stoke Park on Monday when he was made aware of the allegations.
