Big Sam is currently leading at the bookies, 4/11. Which I think is just over 3/1. I think.

[Baddar]

Nope, you need to put 11 quid down to win 4, so it's the opposite - almost 3/1 ON, as they (the people who complicate things) say.

[MDK]

This is why I prefer decimal

[Baddar]

If the odds were 11/4, it'd be almost 3/1. Easiest way to understand it is stake the right to win the left, collect the two combined. 

I only understood what the decimal odds were all about a few years back.

Sick of England like, never pick our players, Bent, Defoe etc when they should have been on the plane and now they're after our manager, don't blame him for wanting it, who would begrudge him taking the job he's always wanted? Just frustrating that we're seemingly back at square one again. 

[Szumi]

The ultra defense got Portugal a title, so surely Big Sam will take England to the World Cup Finals!

[DavidMarrio]

Big Sam is the closest we'll get to actually having Mike Bassett in charge. 

FOUR FOUR FUCKING TWO!

If he can bring some Jay-Jay Okocha-ness to our midfield somehow, that'll be great.

I met Sam Allardyce 18 years ago when he led Notts County off the team bus at Sincil Bank to play Lincoln City. It seems mad to think that he could well be managing England all this time later.

[Lineker]

Potato Head has now also had an interview.

[MDK]

And you lot were complaining about Big Sam. 

[Gazz]

Fucking hell.

[MDK]

Steve Bruce is Mike Bassett 

[Hobo]

TIL Steve Bruce is the longest serving English manager at any club higher in the top two divisions of English football.

[Adam]

Bruce and Allardyce, proof fucking positive that hiring an English manager for the sake of it is a silly route to go.

Remember when we hired McClaren for the same reason? Look where that got us.

[Hobo]

Can't have some immigrant in charge of the England team!

[Gazz]

Honestly, I'd absolute love it if they hired a Pole or a Muslim as manager, preferably both, just to see the reaction of 'The Sun' and 'Daily Mail'.

[Colly]

Appoint Hope Powell for me. Good coach and would annoy those selfsame pricks.
