SO SAM Allardyce got the job he always wanted with a salary of £3 million per year but within 67 days decided the pay was not enough.

He attempted to make £400,000 on the side. Worse is to come, he gets sacked with a million pound pay-off.

Football is giving its supporters the two fingered salute. If everyone cancelled their Sky contribution and supporters stayed away from the matches it might bring them back to earth.

I am too old to organise such an event but someone somewhere may feel like I do and be prepared do something about it.

FOOTBALL ‘the beautiful game’? Far from it: more accurate would be ‘greedy and grubby’.

Football is in the news again – but for all the wrong reasons. How humiliating for the country, that the England manager, Sam Allardyce, has been forced to resign after 67 days and just one game after being exposed in a national newspaper ‘sting’. He has embarrassed the country, the FA and trashed his name.

One would have thought that the honour of this appointment, plus a £3,000,000 a year salary, would have more than satisfied a manager in his latter days. But no!

The footballer world forgets that TV pays their wages.

His avarice is so far removed from the class act of the England 1966 World Cup winning team led by Bobby Moore and the pitiful wages paid to their generation.

The vulgar Premiership has destroyed our England side and has soured my love of football. It’s immoral that vital grass roots teams, with giant killing history like York City, are by-passed with all its wealth.

Is there anyone left in football that has integrity and decency?

DISGRACED England manager Sam Allardyce would have earned in five months what an average wage worker would have earned in their whole working lifetime, yet he still wanted more.

Why have the soccer authorities not seen what has been going on under their noses, or did they prefer to turn a blind eye?

Would the Football Association have taken this action if Allardyce had won them a World Cup? I say more power to the elbows of the media in their entrapment of such individuals or companies.
