Fat Sam has talked himself into a spot of bother.

[Just Trent]

Oh well, he had a good run.

[World's End Stella]

Oh well, he had a good run.

Just a guess, but I think his saying that any deal he signed would need to be verified with the FA will save him. At that point the rest is just banter, I think.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

It doesn't show much judgement though. He probably won't need to walk but his chances of staying in the job for long without doing something have most likely been shortened.

Equally, his comments hardly warrant the trouble and expense of setting up the sting operation, imo.

And from a Fleet Street that spent its Summer bemoaning the fact that the England players and staff don't trust them, this whole business is practically an own goal :homer:

Frankly, if reporters can't get juicier revelations than this out of Big Sam Allardyce while he's being secretly filmed during a sting operation, they need to take a long hard look at themselves. Get a different hobby perhaps.

[Burney]

Nah. He'll stay. They got nothing of any value out of him.

Right. There's practically nothing there one couldn't imagine him cheerfully disclosing in a press conference.
