So it's been all but confirmed it's Allardyce.

Probably the best current English manager & the board said they wanted an English manager so... not too many complaints from me.

I suppose I shall have to be prepared to be bored rigid watching England games. I just hope the FA get rid of him quickly if he proves to be as baad as I fear.

If i remember correctly Sam Allardyce nearly had a heart attack some years ago, let's hope this job doesn't tip him over the edge. What next for Sunderland?

I'm very happy with Allardyce. For me, he's quite easily the best choice out of the realistic candidates.
If we could have had anymore, I would have liked to see either Dyche or Howe (or both like Iceland biggrin.gif) but I can certainly see why neither of them would want the job, especially this early in their careers.

Because we've been so exciting for the past decade....


More than happy with Allardyce, mainly because it means it's not a whole host of people. Not Pardew. Not Sherwood. Not Bruce. Not Southgate, or Hoddle, Shearer, Neville...

Even the foreign coaches that are realistic are mainly dull and uninspiring. Hiddink? Maybe I guess. Wenger? Just the manager we need to stop England bottling it on the big occasion. Klinnsmann? I know very little but I'm always wary of any manager where the vast majority of fans of they're current team are hoping someone else appoints him when linked. Only person I think who may have been a semi-realistic candidate that I might have got properly excited about is Benitez...

I like to see him not being afraid to pick players who are in form from unfashionable clubs and not rely on just supposedly star names. This could be dull. Not expecting much. 1-0 all the way probably.

I think he's more likely to pick someone like Antonio or Dann, but also quite likely to keep Rooney in the team but then I think the person who decides when Wayne Rooney stops being an automatic starter is Wayne Rooney, which is a shame, and he won't play him in midfield!

Guess I have to live with that, I wish Eddie Howe took the job though. Just have to see what he is going to bring to the table.

I would like to see Antonio, Noble or Carroll get picked if they continue their form from last season. It could have been worth a shot at Eddie Howe been given the job see what would happened there.

I think Eddie Howe is a definite contender for the England job at some point, but I would prefer to see him gain more experience before he gets it. Even if he doesn't get it for another five years, he would still only be 43. That would still give him a decent chance of bucking the trend and being a long-term manager.

I'm coming round to the idea more of him.

I think he'll make us less of a primmadonna team and unlike Hodgson, I think he actually has some balls and his methodology and thinking is probably more in like with 2016 rather than 10 years out of date. We'll see though.. if anything it highlights the lack of good quality English coaches out there.

Yeah I don't think we should jump to conclusions - if we manage to keep up a solid record as expected by the end of 2016 then I'll be happy.

I'm also coming round to the idea of him. He's not Pulis, his teams will play some quite decent stuff if he's given full control over tactics. I do feel a bit for Sunderland though!

I think a little compensation for the uncertainty at Sunderland would go a long way. But really, the best way to repay the players at the Stadium of Light is for the England manager to occasionally watch the likes of Lee Cattermole who should have played for England by now (and would have if he'd been signed by Liverpool or Spurs) - maybe Big Sam will do that.

Anyway, very happy with David Moyes and hopefully there's time to get a few new signings in and bedded in before the new season starts.

Allardyce is talks with the FA.

Oh England, when will you learn.

They clearly didn't did they?
