Sam Allardyce has been sacked after 24 games in charge of Newcastle.
A change in ownership at the club had not impacted on Allardyce’s reign too much with continued support being offered from Mike Ashley.
However, hours after speaking to reporters about potential transfer targets, Allardyce wa contacted by Sky Sports to ask was there any truth to the rumours he had been dismissed.
Sam said he’d have to go and check and sure enough. Bang. Sacked.
