BIG SAM TURNING UP... SOMEWHERE

A new campaign can mean only one thing – a new opportunity for Sam Allardyce to turn up at an ailing club mid- season. Blackburn, Sunderland and Crystal Palace were all rescued from the drop after Big Sam stepped in, although he bit off more than he could chew at West Brom. Having washed down that disappointment with a pint of his finest wine ( presumably), Allardyce is no doubt ready to go again – so place your bets on which flops he might take over. Derby? Valencia? Colo- Colo? He’s at your service.
