Allardyce: bored of being bored

Day -199 WorldCup2018

Under 200 days. You can almost feel it, right? The excitement of the opening match, the worry about how you are going to take time off work to watch your team play, the upsets, the Tim Cahill hat-trick.

At the end of the last English season Sam Allardyce resigned as manager of Crystal Palace. He said that at his age he wanted to do the things with his family that he still had time to do, that he didn't want the stress of managing. Today, it was reported that he is the number one contender for the vacant Everton job. I wrote about how I respected him for being honest and making that decision in May. He was either not honest at all, or he did all the things he wanted to do with his family over the summer and now he's bored and his wife is fed up of him sitting at home only watching football on TV, and talking about tactics at every meal they spend alone together.
