England manager Sam Allardyce is under investigation by the F.A.
Apparently he faces accusations of trying to negotiate a £400,000 deal and offering advice to businessmen on how to “get around” FA rules on player transfers.

Back on topic though, Sam is a friend of mine, his son and my son played on the same team, but I am finding it difficult to defend him this time. I will be emailing him to ask what the hell he is playing at. It ain't football that's for sure!

Just heard on 5 news that Allardyce has left his post 'by mutual consent'....
Allardyce released this statement 10 minutes ago...
"Further to recent events, The FA and I have mutually agreed to part company. It was a great honour for me to be appointed back in July and I am deeply disappointed at this outcome. This afternoon, I met with Greg Clarke and Martin Glenn and offered a sincere and wholehearted apology for my actions.
Although it was made clear during the recorded conversations that any proposed arrangements would need The FA’s full approval, I recognise I made some comments which have caused embarrassment. As part of today’s meeting, I was asked to clarify what I said and the context in which the conversations took place. I have co-operated fully in this regard. I also regret my comments with regard to other individuals.”

Them be good odds
Does "regret my comments towards other people" class as an apology?
