After a disastrous Euro 2016 campaign, England fired its manager Roy Hodgson and turned to Sam Allardyce. After one game and less than 70 days, he was gone, rocked by a scandal that leaves his reputation all but unrepairable. First things first: Who is Sam Allardyce? Something of a journeyman manager. The 61 year-old transformed Bolton Wanders from a Division One team to a respectable Premier League outfit. Then after a disappointing spell at Newcastle, avoided relegation with Blackburn Rovers, lifted West Ham out of the Championship, and then pulled-off a dramatic turnaround at Sunderland last season. That was enough, after Hodgson’s dismissal, to land him the England job.

Over the course of two meetings Allardyce compromised himself in a number of different ways. He made fun of his predecessor’s speech impediment, dogged the Football Association’s decision to rebuild Wembley, and most damning of all, offered advice on how to circumvent the FA’s “ridiculous” rules on transfers.

What rules?

In 2008, the FA outlawed third-party ownership of players, meaning that only teams can own the rights to players. That may sound weird but it’s actually quite common of certain areas of the globe, like South America.
