Sam Allardyce: England sting affected my mental health !!!

Sam Allardyce: England sting affected my mental health but lower league bosses have it worse.
"Every man and his dog tried to destroy me and my family and that was very difficult to get through."

For Sam Allardyce, the memories of his time as England manager are still very raw. Unsurprisingly, he says that was the toughest period of his life, and the biggest strain on his mental health.

Becoming England boss marked the pinnacle of his career, the "dream job" he had imagined when he first stepped into management, but one which seemed a world away from the teenage Allardyce when, as a teenager, he began his journey in football with semi-professional side Dudley Town.
Growing up in the Black Country in the late 70s, the subject of mental health was never mentioned.
"Nobody can take that away from me," he told me. "I got the best job in this country, which is the England manager's job."

Allardyce was appointed in July 2016 on a two-year contract. He lasted just 67 days, and had one game in a charge - a 1-0 win against Slovakia in a World Cup Qualifier.

He resigned after a national newspaper sting accused him of impropriety - an accusation he has always denied. But the media and public pressure which followed the Telegraph's story, Allardyce says was unbearable and forced him out.

Funny that, considering you don't go to or even bother to watch most of our games.

Seems like Allardyce's time at West Ham has affected some people's mental health with the amount of PTSD that's being shown on here!

Just before the FA put pressure on him to resign - Souness, Shearer, Gray, Keys, friends in the press, many on WHO and favourable agents all lobbied the FA with

“be careful what you wish for”

He was an idiot to resign
Should have done a Boris & Keir and just ridden it out.
It would have been a 2 week wonder and the press would have moved on to something else.
