What the hell has fat Sam done

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3810681/Fallen-England-boss-Sam-Allardyce-piteous-figure-undone-greed.html

His "dream job" and gone in 67 days.

He didn’t get a tournament, he didn’t get a second game. Hell, Sam Allardyce didn’t even get to walk out at Wembley just once as England manager.

A pathetic figure, undone by quite gratuitous greed and weakness, his only legacy is that the number 67 in English football will now resonate with almost the force of 66.

The year England won the World Cup: 66. The number of days Allardyce lasted as England manager: 67.

... nor do I like his brand of football, but I can't help but feel sorry for him.

That said, endangering your dream job over greed is just idiotic. He must have known and I completely agree with the rules against third party ownership.
