Sam Allardyce isn't the first England manager to find himself in trouble. Allardyce, after only one game in charge, was filmed by undercover journalists from the Daily Telegraph newspaper offering fake businessmen advice on how to sidestep an outlawed player transfer practice and trying to cash in on his job with speaking engagements. The English Football Association offered no backing to the 61-year-old Allardyce on Tuesday.
