When Roy Hodgson stepped down as England manager before he was pushed, the country dared to dream about his replacement.
Sam Allardyce is the man who’s managed to get the job – and if we’re being honest, most people aren’t too happy about that.
It wasn’t the most inspiring pick of the small bunch, and here’s how the internet reacted to Sky Sports breaking the news Big Sam would be officially appointed in 24 hours.
Obviously this came up

The best of a bad bunch?
The news that it's Steve Bruce v Sam Allardyce for England job suggests to me it may come down who's got the biggest face.

It's not going to be popular, but I actually think Sam Allardyce will do quite well with England. A much better option than Steve Bruce.

Not sure why #England should complain about getting Sam Allardyce. Perfect manager for a small side that's struggling to get results.
