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