I wont say Allardyce is a spectacular manager, but he can do a job, which is why he was brought into Sunderland this time last year, the Harry Redknapp kind of manager, do a job with what little resources he has provided to him...
As for Sunderland, I reckon there luck will run out this year
Am I right in saying Terry Venables' downfall with England came under similat circumstances in 1996

Without checking Google, I couldn't tell you.
I know he had bother in the past with taxes and I am sure there was some sort of court case with him and the then Spurs chairman (Irving Scholar ?).
I can't remember anything along the lines that were similar to Allardyce and offering advice on dodgy deals in addition to negotiating a deal worth almost half a million quid, to stand in front of an audience.
