Football: England Manager Allardyce Exposed In Newspaper Sting

LONDON, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 27th Sep, 2016 ) - England manager Sam Allardyce has been secretly filmed giving advice on how to circumnavigate transfer rules and mocking his predecessor Roy Hodgson's voice, the Daily Telegraph reported on Monday.
Allardyce, 61, was filmed telling what he thought was a group of Far East investors it was possible to "get around" Football Association regulations preventing third parties from owning players.
The men were actually undercover Telegraph reporters. Allardyce, appointed England manager in July, agreed to travel to Singapore and Hong Kong as an ambassador for their fictitious firm for a fee of 400,000 Pounds ($519,000, 461,000 Euros).
He referred to Hodgson, who stepped down after England's Euro 2016 elimination by Iceland, as "Woy" -- mimicking his speech impediment. British tabloid The Sun was rebuked by the FA for referring to Hodgson as 'Woy' in 2012, calling it "unacceptable".
Allardyce criticised Hodgson's approach at Euro 2016, saying he was "too indecisive", and said he should have told assistant manager Gary Neville to "sit down and shut up".
