English football has more money than sense

You can see why they call it a merrygoround. The Guardian reports:
Allardyce departed with compensation reported to be worth £6m and has already been linked with the vacant Republic of Ireland manager's job. He was in magnanimous mood yesterday, reflecting: "There's no point being bitter and twisted about it because it will only affect you, not the people you have left behind."

Yeah, £6 million in compensation can ease a lot of pain.

The problem with Newcastle United over the last twenty years or so is that they have always bought second rate players and second rate managers, despite wanting to be a first rate team. No sign of this changing.
