Rumor: Sam Allardyce in the mix for US MNT manager

Which is why no one is making the comparison. Except you.

 

Shady.Not a crook.Chuck Blazer =crook.Sunil Gulati=protege of a crook.

Gulati is crafting his reflection campaign around being the only American who can ensure the 2026 bid.Why is he the only one who can deliver?I

I don't even want him,but no one with understanding of how complicit our Fed is in the FIFA shitshow should even bat an eye at BigSam

 

Blazer being corrupt, and Gulati being associated with Blazer, doesn't mean Big Sam has the type of character we should want in our national team coach. Our fed not being a paragon of virtue doesn't mean that we can't object to the hiring of shady characters.

 

Well, looks like we missed out on Big Sam. He found another underachiever willing to pay him.

 

only 6.5 million British pounds a year... surely the USSF can better that for him...

 

Are you being sarcastic, or would you really be crazy enough to pay 10 million dollars for Sam freakin' Allardyce?

 

Would be just under 9 MM, but yeah.

 

Yes, but he was saying that the US could do better than that figure. So I rounded up to the next million. For Allardyce? If he/she isn't kidding, I think I have heard it all.

 

Who me, be sarcastic? Just look at the clubs I support.. would I ever do a thing like that??!!!

 

Understood. I work in finance so it was a knee jerk reaction for me.

 

I'm just glad the guy got hired elsewhere, so we don't have to waste any more keystrokes on the ridiculous idea that he end up here.

 

Think you mean 'lucked' out.

If you'd got him, you wouldn't have been relegated from the Premier League I suppose - but you also wouldn't qualify for the next World Cup.

 

But the guy has a PERFECT record as a national team manager ...

 

That's not what matters. What matters is keeping the fed numbers in the black, haven't you paid attention?

Qualifying for World Cups or Confederation Cups is a big travel expense. We can get a lot more profit booking friendlies against Mexico at home.

 

Think you misspelled 'criminal'?

 

EPL is same as MLS. Keep recycling old and underachieving coaches.

 

You two, me, Allardyce, Sarachan...perfect to a man.

 

Everton, since Allardyce's hire: 3 wins, 1 draw. Only one team (guess who) has a better record in their past 4 matches.

I will be (happily) shocked if we end up w/ a better manager than Allardyce.

 

He'll save us from relegation for sure.

 

Everton are 8 points away from Europa league, w/ 20 matches remaining.

Like I said, if we get a better manager than Allardyce, I'll be happy. Who do you have in mind?

 

i always liked the guy who coached Jozy at AZ

what about Juande Ramos?

 

The problem with Juande is that he thinks he speaks English.

 

We've already been relegated.

Big Sam is considerably more accomplished than the past US coaches. I wonder if the was real, though.

 

he was counting on our ignorance to get a nice 4 year $2 million a year contract
