Why not , at least he will show some passion and won't be scared to pick " lesser " players, eg Noble,Drinkwater, Carroll,Coppinger etc
Christ if we have become glad about Sam becoming England manager it shows how little we think of the national football teamHe is the real life Mike BassettIt's yet another complete lack of long term planning and foresight by the FA who have openly admitted that they know nothing about football
Allardyce is a good appointment, he's a good manager.

His track record of success as a manager?A couple of play-off wins with highly-fancied teams gets you the England manager's job these days? Really? Perhaps it's his L2 winners medal... no wait, it must be his LC runners-up medal. He's been sacked from anything even vaguely approaching an established or ambitious PL club; Newcastle, Blackburn, West Ham. He has never been so much as linked with a job at a top club.I really don't hate the bloke, and I do rate him as a manager.... for a lesser PL team. However, I fail to see what he has achieved in his career that possibly justifies him even being considered for the England job.Doesn't take shit, is English, and isn't Gareth Southgate, are not criteria to appoint an England manager. He was a great appointment for Sunderland, but England?
I can see the strap line now. Sam Allardyce: It's not as shite as it could have been!I wonder if that clock at FA HQ has stopped?
