Better, looks like they’re going for Big Sam.

[Colly]

I think they're overlooking the fact that one of the best English coaches and a good family man is astonishingly out of work.

I know that Big Sam has the (almost) pristine reputation as a relegation avoider, but taking a job so late into the season is pretty risky for him.

[METALMAN]

So glad to have Big Sam. Just need to get Redknapp and Pulis back in and the Premier League might stop being a shit donkey league.

[Lineker]

Orta going is probably the bigger story there.

Alan Curbishley?

Or do you mean someone who really keeps it in the family, like Ryan Giggs?

In fairness, Orta was all but set to be replaced this summer, from everything I had read. Especially if the 49ers fully takeover

Look on the bright side Matt, at least Thatcher is still dead.

I mean the lovely man that all pundits defend while he's playing without tactics and destroying the footballing development and mental health of promising young talents.

[Gazz]

Don't forget he's a published author.

I get very different pundits in America, colly. I have no idea who you're talking about.

Steve Bruce, and I think that speaks wonders for the various TV idiots who felt he was given a raw deal at Newcastle.

We honestly have pretty amazing coverage in America. Rarely do we get morons on NBC, in my opinion. Rebecca Lowe is just a delightful host. Robbie Earle and Mustoe are never controversial, and Danny Higginbotham is just phenomenal as an analyst. 

Champions League is obviously not as good, but Henry, Carra, and Richards at least have good chemistry. And Kate Abdo 😍

[King Ellis]

Good grief, I thought we'd dodged the Big Sam bullet like 5 years ago when he was everyone's prediction everytime we sacked someone in the championship.

Oh well, looking forward to seeing who they wheel out next in June after relegation has been locked in.

That's the most excited anyone has been for Frank Lampard in a good while.

[Bobfoc]

How much will Allardyce get paid for four matches?

[Gazz]

100 gallons of Bisto per match.

[Szumi]

Sam to the Leeds squad: "get ready to learn some 4-4-FUCKING-2 lads!"

It wouldn't surprise me. That's definitely good his calling to rebuild his reputation but if he fails again in the championship then that'd be him done for. Well, aside from a John Gregory esque spell in Qatar or somewhere.
