"I'm not suited to Bolton or Blackburn, I would be more suited to Inter Milan or Real Madrid"

The words of Sam Allardyce this week only days after declaring his intent (again) to one day manage England.
The very same Sam Allardyce who signed (amongst others) Geremi, Mark Viduka, Alan Smith, David Rozehnal, Claudio Cacapa, and Joey Barton for Newcastle.
The very same Sam Allardyce who had a win % in his time at Newcastle of 33.33% - compare that to Souness (43.37%) and Gullit (34.61%)
The man who managed us to a 1 v 4 home loss to Portsmouth and a 0 v 1 defeat at Derby who went on to break the Premiership record for the least total number of points in a season.
The man who dished up some of the worst football I have ever seen in my entire life.

Why do the national press give this bloke so much positive air time? I heard a national sport radio presenter last week call for Fat Sam to replace Capello and that was AFTER England's two qualifying wins.

I despair!

Good luck at Everton boys!

Feck big fat sam! He's useless! Can't figure out why he's talked up for the England job.

On another note, what a game today!!!

Sam is a joker... he can say what he wants since he will never get the job there to prove his statements... hahaha
