News about Sam Allardyce

Did Bruno Guimaraes injure himself and why are so many players obsessed with knee-slide celebrations?

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 9, 2024
CHRIS WHEELER: Despite the inherent danger of serious injury or shame, several players love the flamboyant goal celebrations. The knee joint has deteriorated. Bruno Fernandes, the new Premier League star to play it at Old Trafford on Sunday, after scoring an impressive goal for Manchester United from the centre circle in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool. Fernandes stopped two tramlines in the pristine turf as he slid for several yards on his knees and then returned to his feet in a single smooth motion as he turned around to the corner flag. Out of ten, eight out of ten.

Everton's 13-game winless run is 'a DISGRACE' and 'a lot of those players can't be trusted', Dominic King tells It's All Kicking Off, ahead of the Toffees' huge relegation clash against Burnley

Everton's record without a victory was'staggering,' according to Mail Sport's Dominic King, who said a number of players in the playing squad were untrustworthy in the locker room. Everton is winless on a string of 13 games, their most recent, a well-earned late 1-1 draw against Newcastle at St James' Park, and they will face relegation rivals Burnley. The Toffees have had a whirlwind season, with them debuting early in the season before being given their first 10-point penalty for breaching Premier League revenue and sustainability laws.

Gareth Southgate should forget about Manchester United. Here's why he's better off staying in England:

GRAEME SOUNESS: England will be the team to beat at the European Championships this summer, and if I had been advising Gareth Southgate amid rumors that he would be the next manager of Manchester United, I'd suggest you sit tight instead. This England squad has at least two more tournaments in them, according to their age, and Gareth should hang around and enjoy the benefits of that. Following Sam Allardyce's departure, he had a lot of luck in how he got the job and has benefited from the company's rapid growth.

As Stellar Story rode to triumph, the Jukebox Man was defeated right away in the final stretch of Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle. After the election, the former West Ham and Tottenham manager, 77, became a visibly dissatisfied figure. If The Jukebox Man finished first, he would have won £75,965, essentially losing more than £50k because second place was only awarded £28,620. Stellar Story, who had been at 119-1, ended up winning the race in a dramatic manner with a late surge.

Lee Clark has expressed regret for wearing a 'Sad Mackem B****d' shirt that ended his Sunderland career, and he shares his thoughts on the Black Cats' PR woes this week and discusses both teams ahead of their FA Cup derby

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 5, 2024
BY AADAM PATEL's EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY AADAM PATEL: The list of players who have played for both Sunderland and Newcastle is lengthy, but none have caused more controversy than Lee Clark. The man who went from a Newcastle fan favorite to a villain at Sunderland is transformed into a jerk. Clark came through the ranks at his youth football team, making nearly 200 appearances for Newcastle before moving to Sunderland in 1997. After two fruitful years of bridging the Tyne-Wear divide and bringing Sunderland back to the Premier League, it all came to a halt when the midfielder was pictured wearing a 'Sad Mackem B*****d' t-shirt in London with Newcastle fans before their 1999 FA Cup final at Wembley.

Thomas Tuchel's Bayern Munich assistant is a 'leading candidate' for the vacant Republic of Ireland job

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 13, 2023
Ireland has agreed to part with Stephen Kenny after a rocky Euro 2024 qualifying campaign. Both Steve Bruce and Sam Allardyce have thrown their names into the competition since then. Bruce, who has been unemployed since being fired from West Brom's 2022 sacking, said he is 'itching' to return to work following his longest time out of football. It has also been reported that Anthony Barry, Tuchel's right-hand man, is being rated for the job.

After the Brighton midfielder decided to pull away from the national team in 2016, James Milner reveals why he once turned down an England boss Gareth Southgate's call to come out of international retirement

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 11, 2023
After having announced his retirement from international football, James Milner has revealed why he decided against an England recall from Gareth Southgate in 2016. After conversations with then-manager Sam Allardyce, who had promised him he would be a back-up player in the squad, the Brighton midfielder, who had amassed 61 England caps throughout his career, decided to step away from international football in 2016. Milner played just three minutes at the tournament after the 37-year-old was part of England's Euro 2016 squad, which was knocked out of the tournament in the round of 16 by Iceland.

IAN LADYMAN: It's the sacking season, but no one has been fired (yet). Burnley would struggle to find a more qualified man to bring them back up if they are relegated

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 30, 2023
IAN LADYMAN – FOOTBALL EDITOR: And if we've been to the Premier League for 30 years, there are some things that surprise us. It's almost Christmas in 2023, but we haven't had a sacking yet. We had already seen five last year at this time last year. November is traditionally the most difficult month for troubling chairmen. And fear sets in as the third and final international break approaches. Not so much this season. They have been worried about Sheffield United for a long time. Owner Abdullah bin Musaid Al Saud has, indeed, been considering replacing his manager for weeks. The Prince, however, is keen to sell the club as a Premier League member, but sources tell me that he is mired in a world of uncertainty. Suffice to say that there is no discernible tactic at Bramall Lane concerning manager Paul Heckingbottom's future (inset, right) is nothing more than a muddle. There is however, a little more steadfastness in terms of Vincent Kompany's view at Burnley (left). Burnley (right) faces Sheffield United at Turf Moor on Saturday, the Clarets' first game in the league so far.

Is Roy Keane's return to management imminent? Following the FAI's decision not to give Stephen Kenny another contract, the legend is a 3/1 favorite to be named Republic of Ireland boss

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 23, 2023
Following the FAI's decision not to give Stephen Kenny another contract, Roy Keane currently ranks as the 3/1 favourite with Sky Bet to become the next Republic of Ireland manager. Lee Carsley and Neil Lennon are joint second-favourites at 4/1, respectively, while Neil Warnock and Sam Allardyce round out the five top-backed candidates at 8/1 and 12/1 respectively, for those who aren't tipping Keane to get the gig.

Gareth Southgate's England reign began with a low-key win over Malta seven years ago, the Three Lions are expected to meet them at Wembley Stadium again, from a laughing stock to one of Europe's best defenders

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 17, 2023
Gareth Southgate's hopes for England's national team have never been lower than when they first stepped into the dugout at Wembley Stadium against Malta in October 2016. Following a newspaper sting, England was forced to leave the Euros in a humiliating fashion at the hands of Iceland less than four months ago, and after replacing Roy Hodgson on the touchline, Sam Allardyce played just one game before being sacked. The Three Lions were a laughing stock.

United defeat Luton Town 1-0: Victor Lindelof scores his first club goal in nearly three years to give Erik ten Hag's side a much-needed victory as they climb to sixth place in the standings

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 11, 2023
MAN UNITED 1-0 LUTON TOWN JOE BERNSTEIN AT OLD TRAFFORD: JOE BERNSTEIN AT OLD TRAFFORD: Sir Alex Ferguson's matchday companion Sam Allardyce couldn't help him stifle a massive yawn as the Premier League's largest squad struggled to break down the smallest, despite being unable to break down the smallest. Victor Lindelof's unexpected gift gave Erik ten Hag a much-needed three points for his first goal in nearly three years, but it wasn't pretty or convincing. The roar that greeted the Swede's 59th-minute breakthrough was more out of relief than ecstasy. The final whistle is ditto.

Stone Cold Steve Bruce! Sam Allardyce, Roy Hodgson, and Harry Redknapp, among football's most iconic managers, are hilariously converted into WWE-style action figures by AI

As part of the latest trend with the amazing tool that is AI, a group of Premier League executives and two others have been turned into WWE-style action figures. The collection, which has been created by Soccer Slammers, showcases a handful of mentors both old and new who have been reimagined in the form of wrestlers. For each wrestler, they have their own unique information, with names, special moves, gimmicks, styles, and catchphrases included.

After the England striker managed to dive to get keeper QPR's Asmir Begovic sent off, Leeds star Patrick Bamford was labeled a 'DIVING CHEAT.'

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 5, 2023
After appearing to dive in Leeds' match against QPR, Patrick Bamford was branded a liar by a commentator on Wednesday night. After Sam Allardyce's season came to an end at the 11th hour, the England international suffered the agony of relegation last season with the Whites. Leeds, on the other hand, haven't been pulling up trees in the Championship, finishing fourth with four victories, two draws, and two losses as they look to bounce right back up under Daniel Farke.

Kevin Nolan, a former Bolton and West Ham striker, recalls the day when a former boss pinched him to the wall by a former boss. During his 12-year tenure with Bolton, Nolan emerged as a club legend. In all competitions for the team, he would continue to take the captain's armband from Jay-Jay Okocha and made 345 appearances.

Pep Guardiola is the dream job, while Eddie Howe and Graham Potter are the top English options, so if Gareth Southgate should take over as the Three Lions' manager after Euro 2024, who could replace him as the Three Lions boss?

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 5, 2023
After Euro 2024, Gareth Southgate is expected to sign off as England manager, bringing an end to a period of calm and progress for the Three Lions. In the aftermath of Sam Allardyce's sudden departure and England's poor showing at Euro 2016, which culminated in a 2-1 loss to Iceland, Southgate took on the job. In 2018, a World Cup semi-finals in Russia and the Euro 2020 final at Wembley Stadium in Russia marked significant progress forward, but Southgate needed to be persuaded to stay on following England's quarter-final defeat to France in Qatar 2022.

To see Everton in such smear is just deeply sad. IAN LADYMAN asks what will be the end of Liverpool's last season?

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 24, 2023
IAN LADYMAN: Every time I sit in the press box at Goodison Park, my attention is drawn across the field to a hoard at the front of the Lower Bullens Road Stand. When QPR defeated Everton in November 1993, it was where the late, great Ray Wikins came and perched during a break in play. According to day's reports, he actually signed an autograph before taking a corner. I don't remember that, but I do remember him sitting and talking to the supporters as my father and I were there a few rows back. I'm not an Everton fan, but when I was younger, I used to go to go to go occasionally. It was 40 minutes from our house, and Everton played decent football. Or at least they tried to.

Following the roaring success of National Theatre, Gareth Southgate's stellar tenure as England manager is expected to be turned into a Netflix series

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 13, 2023
According to reports, Netflix's bosses ordered a series based on the play Dear England, which has enjoyed a well-reviewed run at London's National Theatre and has been seen by 75,000 people since it opened in June. The play, written by James Graham and starring Joseph Fiennes as Southgate, tells the manager's tale from when he took over Sam Allardyce in 2016 right up to England's World Cup bid in Qatar last year. However, it does include a flashback to when he missed a penalty in Euro 96.

Sam Allardyce claims he applied for the Leeds job TWELVE games before the club relegated him on the brink of relegation, despite the fact that the former boss of the club admits he didn't stay on due to the club's "deeper" issues

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 27, 2023
Sam Allardyce confessed to calling Leeds and asking that they appoint him manager 12 games before they ultimately did so. Jesse Marsch's first full season with Elland would not be as fruitful after leading the team to Premier League safety after replacing Marcelo Bielsa in February 2022. The club went from losing just one of their first five games to a ten-point slump in September, resulting in the American being suspended less than twelve months after his appointment.
