Sam Allardyce - Sacked as England manager amid corruption investigation

Few places are suggesting he will resign later tonight. Who are we thinking as most likely replacement?

Edit: bah, beaten by mere moments by Baz !
 
Bound to be Southgate as caretaker. Will they ask Howe? Would he want it at the moment?

Hearing there's likely to be announcement that Allardyce has quit rather been sacked as England manager. Confirmation expected this evening.

I think this guy is supposed to be on the ball when it comes to the FA. As good as gone then.
 
What, he's actually managed to get himself sacked after a single game?

That's very impressive in all the wrong ways.

Yeah pretty sure that isn't happening. :p

Howe would be a good shout if the FA can get him, it's a risk for him though given what a joke the England team are.

He would probably double his salary and its a massive job. I think we have a good bunch of players...just poor managers.

I agree, we need a manager who is incredibly dedicated and has an actual plan for the team. Not just whatever old duffers are available. Howe has the right mindset I think.

Sounds like Southgate will get it temporarily at least:

Matt Hughes ‏@MattHughesTimes
Gareth Southgate willing to act as #England caretaker manager and likely to be for 4 matches - Malta (h), Slovenia (a), Scot (h), Spain (h).

LBC radio a couple of minutes ago saying unconfirmed reports he's left the job, but that it's not known if he resigned or got sacked.
 
Jake Humphrey ‏@mrjakehumphrey
There it is then. Sam to be remembered as the England manager who lasted 67 days. Undone by a trio of greed, naivety and our poisonous press

Ah yes, blame the press for him being dodgy. I've seen quite a few things from Humphrey ‏recently on Twitter and he comes across pretty badly on there.
 
I still find it funny that anyone wanted him as manager in the first place and maybe worse, no one wanted him fired after a truly woeful performance followed by him basically saying Rooney got to choose how he played... which in effect picks the tactics and style of the entire team. He literally didn't know where or how Rooney was going to play before seeing the game actually happen and for this 'management' he was getting well paid(though obviously not enough it seems).

I'd have fired him for incompetence for those statements, he effectively admitted he wasn't in control.
