Allardyce, he's due a shot at it.

[Mick Dempsey]

Experienced, competent, good record with fragile psyches (Sunderland)

 

Can handle the press no bother

 

Really wants the job.

 

Is English

 

I've always admired his focus.

 

Good luck Big Sam!

[Pinkfoot]

Hope he can make a silk purse ...

If the Euros showed us anything it's that there was no decent teams out there.

 

It was just belief that got Portugal through.

 

It could as easily been us, but as soon as we went behind to Iceland you could see them collapse mentally.

 

Rabbits in the headlights.

 

That's the first thing he has to address, what's going on between their ears.

[Johny Walker]

he may be good but the players will still fail to produce any silver ware

[VTS]

He is my father in law's cousin. So down to earth.

The last time he was offered it, he steered clear saying the over paid actors weren't good enough and it could end his career.

I hope he doesn't take it.

That's the winning mentality Johny!

Really? I understand he was interviewed for the job at the same time as Mclaren in 2006 and was miffed he lost out.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3687159/Sam-Allardyce-emerges-frontrunner-England-job-Sunderland-manager-meets-FA-chiefs.html

It's a poisoned chalice, but look at what he did with Bolton.

Very solid manager IMO, never given a chance at Newcastle.

At least he wouldn't be bullied by the FA into playing Wilshere and Sterling.

Ha ha! Maybe he'll drop Rooney as well.
