Proper Football with Sam Allardyce
Sam Allardyce talks to Kammy and Ben about his pain at losing the England job, his run-ins with Wenger and Benitez and why he should have kept his job at Everton
Sam Allardyce joins Kammy and Ben on the pod this week and he鈥檚 got big opinions to match his Big Sam moniker.
He reveals his hurt at being ousted as England manager and his disappointment with the FA, and how Steve Parish saved him at Crystal Palace. He also explains his surprising reason for leaving Selhurst Park. He talks about why he fell out with Arsene Wenger and Rafael Benitez and how they鈥檙e partly to blame for the long-ball tag that followed him throughout his managerial career.
Elsewhere, he answers why he thinks he shouldn鈥檛 have left Everton, how Newcastle was the wrong club at the wrong time for him and why he believes the idea that you should always play out from the back is brainwashing...and did you know one of his managers once told his team-mates not to pass him the ball?
Meanwhile, Kammy reveals he鈥檚 had a job offer from a top club and is considering it, reminisces about the time he got the better of Big Sam as a manager and recalls how he got the hairdryer treatment from Sir Alex Ferguson.
