Holy crap.

One game in charge. One game.

It has been a hell of a 24 hours for Sam Allardyce. In fact, it has been a rollercoaster two months. But sadly for him, the end looks to be very nigh indeed. He has been summoned to Wembley for news of the very worst kind.

Following the Telegraph’s exclusive undercover story that broke on Monday night, the FA have been investigating exactly what the former Sunderland boss discussed with reporters under their guise of interested ‘third parties’.

The Times report that FA chairman Greg Clarke and chief executive Martin Glenn held a crisis meeting about Big Sam’s future this morning, after being ‘extremely disturbed’ by the allegations. Now they are ready to act.

The Times report that the governing body will likely sack Sam Allardyce as England manager today after allegations he used his position to negotiate a £400,000 deal, appearing to offer advice on how to circumvent rules on player transfers.

We’ll keep you updated with any new developments on this breaking story…
