England
Sam may be big enough to become England manager but is he good enough??

Allardyce is among the most tipped contenders to replace Sven Goran Eriksson when the randy Swede steps down after this summer's hopefully successful World Cup finals.

England skipper David Beckham had suggested that Eriksson's replacement should have experience at the highest level. Which has rankled Sam.

Allardyce has hit back at suggestions that he does not have the quality to manage England, believing he has all the credentials to be a success in the role as national team boss.

Allardyce said: "So the England manager must have Champions League experience, at least on the back of what David Beckham says? I don't think so!

"Of course, experience of the game at the highest level would help. But it is not essential.

"All that matters is that you are a great manager - if that applies, you are right for the job."
