Sam Allardyce has been appointed as the new England manager.

Only Chance now of making the world cup is if it gets taken of Russia cos of the doping and handed to us

To be fair Big Sam has managed WestHam so he has had experirence managing At the very highest level. Joking aside he is a great man manager by all accounts so could be the right choice.

Sunderland have signed David Moyes

I bet Steve Bruce is well happy this morning. Reports were he left Hull to go back to Sunderland.

I think Moyes will do a great job for them.

I thought Bruce had been offered England no 2 postion

Reports were wrong then. There was never any chance of Bruce going back to Sunderland.

Rumours aplenty, make of them what you will, but word is that Steve Bruce's relationship with the vice-chairman had broken down, and he'd been told he'd have to make do with around 13 fit first squad players for the start of the season, with none of his transfer targets having been completed, which is basically admitting defeat before a ball has even been kicked. We've seen other teams that have been promoted and failed to invest and improve the squad, and have done miserably and gone straight back down.
Can't blame him for leaving the sinking ship.

The owner of hull is keen to sell any way. He was prevented from calling them Hull Tigers so wants to take his ball back home with him.
