With his pockets crammed full of brown envelopes no doubt.

 

Interesting that's two managers in recent years that have walked away from Palace 😮

Some silly club will be offering him a higher-paid job no doubt.

Not one of my favourite managers.

You'd reckon Allardyce won't have made the same mistake as Pulis!

 

A strange one for successful managers to leave a Premier League club after a successful season to metaphorically join the dole queue but it is their prerogative.

It was never going to last when the club bar didn't serve wine in pints.

It very, very simple the chairman wants to invest the obscene Sky cash into building new stands but Sam wanted a decent amount to strengthen the squad. After last season's close call I think that I know who is right.

Sam says he is retiring from football. Looks like he's going to Sunderland then.

I think it's more to do with his recent health problems and the heart attack he had. His wife begged him not to return to football after it happened but he joined Sunderland, England and then Palace.

Sam's going part-time,far easier to wait for another club trying to avoid relegation and work for four months every season.

It wasn't a heart attack--he underwent by-pass surgery a few years back. Why can't people take the news on face value? He says he wants to retire and spend more time with his family and that's seems like a good enough reason to me!

Big Sam has done a good job pretty much everywhere he's been. As long as you hire him in time, it's a certainty you wouldn't get relegated.

 

He's been a pioneer in training technology and sports science for football at a time when he was laughed at for believing in such things. I got the feeling that the England job was going to be his last job, but it ended badly and he didn't want to go out like that.

 

All the best to him.

Should be nick-named Santa Claus, comes around at Xmas with the gift of keeping the Sky money safe.

Good old school manager. Not many of them left in the game unfortunately.

What re your views on his tenure as England manager Martino ?

 

Does old school mean a total lack of integrity-offering advice on how to fix transfers and using the England manager to negotiate a £400k deal with a Far East firm.

 

You don't consider disgraced the position of England manager ?

 

If you like that sort of person, I rather hope some people's guesses about any connection you might have with Port Vale are incorrect.
