Sam Allardyce believes the football management 'madhouse' is best captured by the way he and Craig Shakespeare started the season as England colleagues but have since been involved in separate battles against relegation.
Victory on Saturday against Shakespeare's Leicester would ensure Crystal Palace conclude the weekend higher than their rivals in the Premier League, in the latest development of what the Palace manager has described as a 'bonkers' year.
Allardyce recruited Shakespeare to his coaching team shortly after his appointment as England manager, but after departing his position following only one game he was appointed at Palace.
