Shame. I was rather looking forward to Sam getting us to Russia in 2018 and showing those heavies over there how the movement of folding stuff between dodgy people is really done.
I am really quite shocked. Not at the subject of the 'sting' [pretty pedestrian stuff really], but at his bizarre lack of awareness about the situation he was in given the profile of his [dream] position. Interesting that it happened very soon after his appointment, before he'd even spoken to the players apparently! Guess one can only assume that for that moment in time, as far as he was concerned, it was just business as usual - normal conversation, few extra quid, ta very much, no problem.
Opps!
