Allardyce - Entrapment?
94 Answers
As the shock waves settle on Mr Allardyce's activities, and the results, he, and several other media and football figures are talking about 'entrapment' by The Telegraph - as though he is somehow an innocent victim of skulduggery.
My view is that he would not have been 'caught' if he was behaving properly, and the public interest justifies the methods used - and he would save some dignity if he kept quiet and let everything take its course.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for Mr Allardyce. Perhaps his Houdini act saving Sunderland from relegation has gone to his big head (a club that was reeling from the Johnson affair). He states that it was his 'dream job'. Entrapment or not, a person in his privileged position has to be whiter than white and lead by example in ethics, discipline, motivation and...

RandyMarsh - //"Take your pick - there are numerous documented cases of football managers taking money for illegal purposes."
Right, which one of them are we talking about?
I thought we were talking about Sam Allardyce?//
You seem utterly determined to find an instance where I have stated that I believe that Sam Allardyce is corrupt, even to the point of using the 'So' method - starting a post with 'So' which means you are going to say something I haven't said, and then respond as though I have said it.
Why don't you give it up, you are micro analysing something that is not there, and it's getting tedious.

Poor journalism or not, he knew what he was doing and was in control of his own mouth. Nobody had his arm twisted around his back.

Do you want a bit of useless information?
My granddad was a labourer on the railways (LNER as it was then) and every day my grandma would make his lunch pack of a large slice of bread and a chunk of cheese bought at the Co-Op from a massive cheese cut with a wire.
With his pocketknife he would cut a piece of his cheese and put it on a bit of bread before eating it.
Wait for it.........all the labourers referred to the cheese as.......BUNG.
