I find the whole career narrative of Sam Allardyce by the English press utterly astounding. On BBC Sport right now there is an article entitled 'Did Sam Allardyce make a mistake choosing West Brom?'
How about they flip the narrative? 'Did West Brom make a mistake choosing Sam Allardyce' is a much more accurate headline.
Seriously, the indulgence, near cult like obsession by the mainstream English football press towards him is indicative of its backward ways. That they continue to prop up a man who, let's face it, represents the sort of football that made a mockery of English football on the world stage, is bemusing.
