yeah it is kind of disconcerting. the whole thing is taking on an odd feeling, like rooney is some idiot king in the land of the blind, outwitting smarter men with impermeable stupidity.

There's a conspiracy theory among a certain section of the Utd fan base that Rooney's contract actually guarantees him a starting place. I used to think it was a bit silly, but I've now realised it goes deeper than even they suspected

During the meeting he remarked that Sir Alex Ferguson gets “four hundred, five hundred grand a pop” for speaking engagements, while Robbie Williams got “£1.6 million for a wedding. Just singing”.
The England manager insisted he would deliver “value for money” in helping to attract investors, boasting of his popularity in the Orient.
“It’s not only the England manager,” he said, “it’s the beauty of being a Premier League manager all them years like me… I have more pictures taken over there than I have here.”
“Keynote speaking, that’s what I’d be doing, keynote speaking. I’m a keynote speaker.
“Just know, it’s just delivering, for you, it’s just delivering value for money… they’ve got to enjoy the time they’ve had, enjoy the conversation. Not just the keynote speech but also in the bar after.
“I don’t come in like a lot of them, come in, right bang, you’re off. Do you know what I mean? That’s the end of that, done that, I’m off. I’m going to stand at the bar, have a few social drinks.”

“Players let him down in the end. I think maybe he, he was too indecisive. Cast a bit of an anxiety over to the players maybe. I mean prior to the Iceland game, he won all 10 qualifiers. We'd drawn with Russia, we should have won. We beat Wales, and that was our worst performance. We drew with Slovakia, and we only had to draw with Iceland to get through ... he just collapsed.”

"We all make mistakes, but the next man can’t make the same ones. And Kyle Walker made a bigger mistake than Wayne Rooney.”
“It was the youngest side in Europe. It was the youngest squad,” he said. “The average age was under 25. There are some stats out there that says that any team that wins a tournament has to be, has to have an average age of 27 or above.”
During a conversation about England’s upcoming matches, Allardyce said the national side were next due to play Malta and then “it’s Slovenia or something”.

dread to think what i'd come out with after a pint of wine tbfttl
did enjoy him wiping his full plausibly deniably guilty face with the napkin as he stated that bungs were off limits
"doing meet and greets and nothing else, so it’s not, nobody’s going to come back to me and say 'I met Sam and I invested in this, this portfolio, and he told me to go and buy these young players, and that young player’, and that’s, you know. So they can’t blame me, do you know what I mean?”

yeah for a private conversation after sinking a few pints of wine his comments on the team are fairly tame. the financial stuff might be hard to get away with tho.

you gotta hand it to the man, if he'd walked into the England set-up and played the same old bullshit line-up, like Rooney in midfield for example, he'd look an utter cunt

Shame this will be his downfall. Was actually looking forward to seeing Allardyce's England.
Was looking at a list of previous England managers. It's quite the spectacle. Hadn't realised you lot haven't had a decent manager since Robson tbf.
