The appointment of Sam Allardyce as the new England manager is a little like fiction becoming life in a Mike Bassett sort of way, the FA have not countenanced messing with appointing a 'johnny foreigner; in the fall out of Roy Hodgson's disastrous competitive competition results, but have gone full belt and braces and might even play 4-4 effing 2!
Big Sam's appointment, much to the chagrin of many Sunderland supporters, means that he will adopt a more 'performance orientated' policy to his squad selection, as opposed to misplaced old school loyalty to players who have been able to tow the party line admirably. It is entirely conceivable that when Sam Allardyce announces his first England squad that, not with standing injuries , he will almost certainly include Andy Carroll, Aaron Cresswell and Mark Noble, he might also include Mikael Antonio! The result of the increased media exposure of the West Ham trio will be for their value to go ballistic, their value will instantly double, and in this mad mad transfer world the sky is the limit! (not the dreadful broadcasting platform owned by rupert murdoch) The fact is home grown talent is ridiculously expensive within these shores, but any club that provides a large percentage of it's countries International footballers will by definition expect to see their value increased, however this time West Ham will not be selling their prize assets, nor their hopes for the future, the selling curse is over. Success breeds Success. -Ed

My thoughts as soon as the FA took him on were that Andy Carroll and Aaron Cresswell would soon be in the England squad, not sure about Mark Noble or Mikael Antonio but maybe they might just get a call up.
Sam Allardyce though has an awful record losing far more games than he has ever won in the Premier league just about avoiding relegation with every club he has been taken on and winning nothing when it comes to knock out competitions
Mike Bassett certainly comes to mind in the FA's choice but even an avid England supporter like me shakes his head in disbelief at this farcical appointment!!!
I hope I'm wrong and England do well, at least he will keep it simple and not make up new ideas and we all know he is a one trick pony with plan A and keeps to plan A., so the players will at least know what is expected of them.
Now wheres my neck brace for all those long balls we are going to see?

There are issues with his selection - I can say no more.
Sam will want him involved and I would think that he will be working on that as we speak. But I have the feeling that the big lad's England career is over.
Hope I'm wrong.
