I thought it was his sister who lived in Sodbury though. My best mate lives in Sodbury, he's had a pint with Sam, said he's a top bloke He said it was his wife's family they were visiting, as opposed to his own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting debate that, I think the championship is a division within the English football league...but others, including those within the game, say divisions are leagues....

BUTOR Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Sam Allardyce all but retires. Would wish him well, but his greed meant more to him than his dream job, and when all is said and done that's what he will be remembered for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishRed Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Surprised, and it all my be true that he is retiring, but. I wonder if a job is about to come his way that he " simply could not refuse"! After a couple of weeks have passed of course. Now that Palace need a new manager maybe they will look at someone " up and coming " :laugh: ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 £2 million bonus for keeping Palarse up Nice work if you can get it ! Wouldnt be surprised if Parrish doesn't go for him for breach of contract Pulis all over again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanburyRed Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Nothing should surprise you in football anymore. If he's still enoying his retirement in 5yrs time then fair play to him....but somehow Harry Redknapp was lured out of retirement by Birmingham....or was it money? Which is what got Big Sam into trouble in the first place.....:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsRed Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I had placed a £5 bet on Big Sam to be the next manager to leave a few weeks ago, I am not surprised whatsoever...Dream job came along... Lost it. Few months at Palace made him realise that's enough I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Bit of a surprise he's only 62. Palace have a pretty useful squad too so he could certainly have pushed them on the coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I assume this thread is tongue in cheek, but I do wonder if I am alone in feeling that I would rather have Lee Johnson as our manager than Sam Allardyce? I would rather fail with a manager who is part of the club and who believes in it, even if he makes mistakes along the way, than succeed with a journeyman manager who is largely in it for the money.

The moment you had 'via talksport' in you probably lost a lot of people. The sooner that awful awful radio station is dead and gone the better.

This has some basis to it so I understand Hadnt realised that Mark Taylor's wife Jayne Tweddle-Taylor was one of the victims of the Manchester Explosion I got to know Mark a bit in the late 80s / early 90s and a lovelier lad you couldn't hope to meet Ex player whose career was stopped short due to injury and when I knew him he was the Blackpool physio under Sam Sam took Mark to Bolton where he became head of their medical,department and subsequently to Sunderland where he is currently the Performance Dorector I never met Marks wife but Sam and Mark were / became great friends and thus would assume Sam (A totally genuine bloke btw) would have been great friends with Marks wife Tye Big Man is a very loyal bloke , with a big heart , despite some of the shite written about him and will have been deeply affected by this Mark Likewise a lovely , very friendly nice guy and thoughts with him , as with the loved ones of all those impacted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
