Big Sam ‘jealous’ of Southgate

SAM ALLARDYCE has insisted it should be him and not Gareth Southgate leading England at the World Cup.

On the day Southgate and his team touched down in Russia, the BBC published Allardyce’s claim from a documentary to air on Sunday that he should not have been forced to leave his job after just one game.

Allardyce (pictured) stood down after just 67 days in charge after it was revealed he gave advice on how to “get around” player transfer rules.

Allardyce said: “Jealous is what I feel. Massively disappointed. That should be me there. Unfortunately, because of the circumstances, that wasn’t the case.”
