Ban for Sam? Allardyce could face suspension as Harry Redknapp in ‘own players bet’ claim
Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn says the former England manager could face further sanctions, as the Daily Telegraph release more claims
Former England manager Sam Allardyce, whose one match reign ended after being caught up in a newspaper sting, could face suspension, Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn said Friday.
Glenn, who could not say whether 61-year-old Allardyce had received a pay-off when he resigned on Tuesday after just 67 days in the job, admitted charges could be laid at the former manager’s door.
“It is realistic,” said Glenn. “I am pleased that the Daily Telegraph are releasing [the full transcripts of their investigation] to the police first because that is what has to happen.
“Once we get access to that, we have a separate integrity unit. It’s very good.
“It’s not for me to call, but once the evidence is clear, the decision will be based on the merits of the evidence.”
