The Football Association hierarchy are holding a series of emergency meetings at Wembley to determine the future of the England manager, Sam Allardyce, after allegations he offered advice on how to get around transfer regulations.
The FA’s recently appointed chairman, Greg Clarke, is speaking with the chief executive, Martin Glenn, to discuss the comments made by Allardyce to undercover reporters from the Daily Telegraph.
The hierarchy are understood to be disturbed by the allegations, which were made in two meetings secretly filmed in London and Manchester and surfaced just 67 days after Allardyce had secured what he had claimed was his “dream job”.
Should the FA sack Allardyce, England would need a new manager for their next game, a World Cup qualifier against Malta on October 8th.
