Sam Allardyce's England Appointment Delayed By Haggling Over Compensation

Sam Allardyce
Sam Allardyce’s appointment as England’s manager "is expected to be delayed until Friday" to allow EPL side Sunderland and the FA time to finish "haggling over compensation," according to Louise Taylor of the London GUARDIAN. Roy Hodgson’s successor "is then likely to be presented to the media at some point next week." With David Moyes "set to be swiftly installed as Allardyce’s successor on Wearside, negotiations are not regarded as a major problem but reflect the anger and frustration of the Sunderland owner, Ellis Short, at the manner in which the FA poached his manager." Considering Allardyce had "only a year outstanding" on a club contract worth around £2M ($2.6M) a year the deal "appears straightforward." It has, though, "been slowed slightly by Sunderland’s desire to gain a little more" than £2M by way of recompense for the disruption caused to its transfer plans and preseason preparations. A meeting of the FA board at Wembley on Thursday morning "rubberstamped a decision" made by FA CEO Martin Glenn, Technical Dir Dan Ashworth and Vice-Chair David Gill "before moving on to other business expected to occupy them for the remainder of the day" (GUARDIAN, 7/21).
