Sam Allardyce believes he was 'stitched up' before being infamously sacked by England in 2016 after an undercover sting filmed him suggesting to reporters how to 'get around' FIFA's third-party ownership rules.
'Big Sam' only managed one game in charge of the Three Lions before the investigation was brought to light by the Telegraph, with the FA relieving him of his duties - stating that his conduct was 'inappropriate' and that an England manager 'must show respect for the integrity of the game at all times'.
Allardyce has since gone on to revive his management career by taking charge of Crystal Palace and Everton, but the former Bolton and Sunderland boss admits the dramatic episode still plays in the back of his mind.
