A lot of people talk the piss out of Big Sam - but he is a far better option than Klinnsman who has been dreadful in America

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Don't really care about England but this is the correct appointment.
lolz
That's Sunderland relegated this year..
He can't do worse than Woy.. The football might be boring, but that's not new with England..

This is why the FA are not fit for purpose.
Yeah it's the best choice. Klinsmann would be awful, there's no deep analysis needed Hodgson was simply a poor coach who should have been sacked after the World Cup.
Another crap manager you will have, enjoy being shit.
Im not English so it wont really impact me.
However, whilst some will scoff at the idea of big sam getting the England job, England have a mediocre side and wont attract the best managers.
I bet Iceland wouldnt knock Sam out of a major tournment.
feck off
I rate Allardyce. He's probably the best in the business along with Pulis at not getting relegated with poor teams. I don't know if his style will suit England, though. England are the better team in most of the games they play, and Big Sam is at his best managing the underdogs.
Yes, go on Big Sam! You show them how to manage the England team.
I am all aboard the Fat Sam train. Choo choo!

Yes, Fat Sam is going to surprise a lot of critics here.
Yeah, wouldn't mind Big Sam.
If we're only limiting ourself to British managers, I agree.
gwan Big SamDidn't think it could get worse than Roy but big Sam could prove me wrong, what a shit appointment that would be.
Think he's a good choice. Very under rated.
1) Would he do worse than Woy?
2) Would he set the team up to play in the "English style"?
3) Would he therefore put English players in the best position to be successful?

TBF if they are going with an English manager, they really have no outstanding alternatives.
It's either Big Sam, Eddie Howe or Pardiola.

The English Fernando Santos.
Naah.. That much I am sure.. Iceland wouldn't have. He would have got the job done against the lower level teams.. And maybe even a few upsets along the way..
Might be a good appointment..
He plays a pretty shit brand of football, but a decent manager. As an England fan, it's understandably hard to get excited by.
His style is slightly exaggerated. His Bolton team with Okocha was good to watch. West Ham were great to watch for 6 months in his last season there. Sunderland were better to watch than the dross they served before him for years.
Pathetic, yet I'd much prefer him to Klinnsman.

I'd rate Big Sam over McClaren, and England sure didn't win anything trying to play like something they're not under Woy.

Are you on a wind-up? Have you seen the money England pay for the manager's job? There's a reason they were able to hire the likes of Capello.
I look forward to 4 more years of under-performing and crap football.
He's the appointment I wanted from the reasonable options so I'd be happy with this. Dreading it going to Southgate.
He's one of the better managers at working with what you have and he isn't meek. We need someone with a bit of backbone.

Yeah go on, England call ups for Bardsley, Shawcross, Cattermole & whichever GK kicks it furthest are long overdue
and Andy Carroll,
and Andy Carroll,
Have you seen the fact its sam v klinsman? Hardly attracting the elite.
Cue the scousers

If they wanted to go English they did not have much choice if they wanted to go English. Big Sam did well with Bolton but, has been pretty meh since then. He has had a decent budget in his jobs since then but, has still played the same tumescent stuff. He will not lead England to glory but, then again no one will.
I think he'd be a good choice, actually. If you're adamant on sticking with an English man, he's probably the best choice at the moment. It's a bit too soon for Howe.
Yeah, why not.
We've tried the possession route, and we failed to break teams down.
With Portugal winning the Euro's, yet again, we've been reminded that you don't always have to have the ball to win a game.
Under Sam, we'd hopefully be a solid unit to break down and a threat on the counter.

Big mistake
They'd be hiring a guy because he's good enough to just avoid getting teams relegated. Magic.

That seems to be all you need to do well in international football.
I agree with you on that. Portugal have won the Euros with just one win in 90 minutes! Playing dire stuff all the way through.
Gutted. Looking forward Big Sam's Real Madrid master class tactic vs Pep.
