Sir Alex Ferguson believes England should appoint Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce as their next manager, if the Football Association opts for an English candidate.

Ferguson feels Allardyce's experience of managing in the Premier League makes him the stand-out candidate, should the successor to Roy Hodgson be a homegrown coach.

The former Manchester United manager feels the appointment will be a difficult one for the FA, especially in light of the national side's failure at Euro 2016.

Ferguson says the new boss has to have an understanding of what it takes to manage England, and that Allardyce is a logical option when only three English managers are currently employed in the top flight.

"The problem is there was an expectation England would do well and because they didn't, it's all a bit flat," he said. "So they need to work out what the plan B is.

"It's very difficult to think of the right man and there are only three English managers in the Premier League. With Sam (Allardyce)'s experience, he is the obvious choice.

"But I think they have to search wider to make sure they get the right one. If it's Sam, fine. But they have to have someone with the capabilities, the tactical awareness and the feel for the national side.

"Thank goodness I'm not making the choice because it's a difficult one but Sam's the best English candidate because he's in the Premier League."

Ferguson also feels England will always be at a disadvantage to other nations because there is no winter break in the Premier League and because there is very little down time between the end of the domestic campaign and the build to an international tournament.

"The league programme English players go through - to then play a major tournament after that makes it impossible," he said.

"In Germany they have a rest in December and January and teams who play in a better climate must be better prepared than English players.

"They don't even get a month's rest because they played three friendly games and they're training from June 12. That needs to be addressed."

A Scotsman is telling the English to appoint Fat Sam and the media are lapping it up. I know they're mates but there's no relegation scraps in international football for Fat Sam to work in. Appointing him would be pointless.

They must think he's the reason Germany is so good now, and failing to realise he was a small part of the DFB's plan.

He's doing a bit s**t with the States.

Journos hate him as well.

The fans spout some bizarre stuff, like saying he's anti-white because he's called up a few Hispanic lads :blink:

Surely that makes him the ideal candidate for the FA. Unpopular and mediocre.

From what I've seen quite a lot of fans have bashed him for weird selections and playing people out of position.

Such a change from Woy. :ph43r:

The chances of Sam Allardyce becoming the next England manager have been enhanced by his willingness to help the Football Association to mentor a young assistant who would be groomed as his successor.

The FA is keen to talk to both Allardyce, who left Sunderland’s training camp in Austria on Monday night, and Jürgen Klinsmann, the USA coach, about the vacancy created following Roy Hodgson’s resignation, but have been encouraged by the 61‑year‑old’s apparent enthusiasm for helping them to polish the next in line. Sunderland insisted that Allardyce’s early departure concerned ongoing discussions over potential transfers, with one source stating it was “business as usual”.

The club had earlier remained resolutely silent in the face of mounting speculation on Monday.

While formal contact between manager, club and the FA is still to be established, Allardyce has made no secret of his desire to coach his country and was desperately disappointed to lose out to Steve McClaren when the pair competed for the post a decade ago.

After performing wonders to rescue Sunderland from relegation last season, a manager who has one year remaining on his contract at the Stadium of Light knows his stock is high. While suggestions that his Wearside deal includes an escape clause designed to facilitate an easy exit should England come calling have been dismissed by club sources, the relative brevity of his current agreement indicates that compensation would not be an insurmountable issue for the FA.

Although Allardyce enjoys a good relationship with Ellis Short, Sunderland’s American owner, he seems deeply frustrated by the club’s failure to make a single signing so far this summer.

It appeared Martin Bain, Sunderland’s new chief executive who began work on 1 July after arriving from Maccabi Tel Aviv, had made a breakthrough last week when Davide Santon seemed to be on the brink of joining from Internazionale only for negotiations to break down at the last moment.

“We want to improve the squad with two, three or four players as quickly as we can,” Allardyce told Sunderland’s website. “We’re trying to work in the market shrewdly and to get the best value for money we possibly can. Hopefully the fans will be a little bit patient but I have to admit myself that my patience is wearing thin – very, very thin indeed.”

Allardyce, anxious to sign the West Ham United striker Diafra Sakho, is understood to be angry about the failure to solve a problem position at left-back by signing Santon and described the £3m move’s collapse as “a huge disappointment”.

If they appoint Fat Sam it would appear the FA is surrendering to its fate of being mediocre and pedestrian for another generation.
