Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce has just been sacked by the Toon Army.
Can’t say it wasn’t coming, with a string of poor results, but you get the impression Newcastle want to challenge Utd and Chelsea NOW, when in reality that’s a far off dream as they just don’t have the players.
As for Sam, he wants to get back into management and would be an ideal candidate for the vacant Irish manager’s position.
A couple of weeks ago, we blogged about how Steve McClaren’s neck was very much on the line.
Yesterday, he was officially sacked and England are now on the hunt for a new manager.It’s not a surprise. Mc Claren was a spare part left over from the Sven Goren Erickson era and now England can get a new style of manager and inject some new ideas and energy.
So with England and Ireland both now looking for new men, it could come down to a tug of war between the two. The FA have the cash, but England manager is probably the worst managerial job there is due to all the hype and pressure.
