So I was thinking we need a thread for anything that really doesn't belong elsewhere,

for example: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37483344

For a man who always professed wanting the England job, he now has the ignominious distinction of being their shortest ever tenured manager! Stupid, stupid, stupid. I was initially thinking why did the Telegraph make a sting, poor on their behalf but then, why would they have done that unless they had some prior information that Sam was open to such methods.

Yes, I'm not sure if that was a very smart thing to do especially as it took him so long to land the job he wanted. I think the quote from Linnekar was that Sam's win ratio would be hard to beat.

People in public life should learn how to behave and not throw out insults.

Sad episode. Sam would have made those players proud to wear that shirt again, now we'll likely get another Euro dinosaur looking to make £10m for bugger all.....

Could be worse. You could be getting Garry Neville.

He deserved to go for starting Rooney's corpse and making it captain.

There is no rush, the games Southgate will be in charge of are all ones that should be won - there again, so should the Iceland game - so the FA could take their time but if you want an English manager who really has the qualities required.
