The English football association
and coach Sam Allardyce had parted ways after the
manager was videoed agreeing
a £400,000 deal with under
cover reporters who posed as
agents from Far East. Sam Allardyce said in
a statement:
"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."
