Big Sam - Gone in 67 days

It's less than 10 weeks that the boards were discussing Big Sam's appointment. Will be interesting to go back and have a read.

But what are people's thoughts?

Yes he has done wrong and has been corrupt. But have the papers set him up, putting a high price of £400k so tempting to even the well paid would take the bait?

Yes he has shown a side that is unfortunate, but have the papers dangled a large enough carrot to create a story?

I've listened to TalkSport yesterday and the presenter was in support of the journalist and saying don't people have a right to know and that investigative journalism sets out to do this.

In addition, I have seen comparisons to detectives.

But has it simply been a story created by a journalist to sell papers? Yes it's wrong what Big Sam did, but is it equally wrong what the papers did? Is it their job to investigate? Maybe but when they have created the situation, are their morals equally to question?

Would Sam have taken the bait if it was £200k? Did he refuse and they up'd the offer? Is there anyone that is actually not buyable, or does everyone in contention to be England manager have a price?

Did the journalists do it because they didn't agree with the hiring process and didn't want Big Sam to be the next England manager?

Is it a shame because he genuinely looked like he was really in the role he wanted to be in?

Should he have been loyal to his employers instead of looking to be paid to identify loopholes?

And most importantly, who should now be the next England manager to take over from Southgate, or should Southgate continue if he gets off to a good start?

They have gave him a £1million pay off too, not bad for 67 days

15k a day? Not sure if I got the sack, I'd even get a pay out!

He got it cos he agree to go. If he hadn't they would have sacked him and saved a lot of money! But as he agreed to go, it couldn't be a technical sacking.

If they sacked him straight off, without giving him a chance to agree to go, he might have fought the decision with lawyers which could have been an expensive complication the FA didn't want. It's a small price for ending the issue amicably on the spot!

Afraid the extra work was the least of his problems! It was the claims of being able to cheat FA rules on transfers that dropped him in the doo-doo! He was basically saying how he could diddle his own employers. When the FA is trying to point the finger at corruption in FIFA something like Sam is just what they don't need! He had to go!
