| MANCHESTER, England -- Even by English soccers standards, the latest embarrassment is a new low. Sam Allardyce was forced out in disgrace after one game in charge of the national team.Having taken 25 years to reach the pinnacle of English soccer management, Allardyce was toppled after only 67 days by his hubris and indiscretions involving undercover journalists posing as businessmen.The English Football Association decided Tuesday, within 24 hours of a Daily Telegraph sting being published, that the 61-year-old Allardyce lacked the integrity to hold one of the most prestigious jobs in the game.Allardyce had a 100 percent record -- winning his only game against Slovakia earlier this month -- but will go down as the England manager with the shortest tenure.Even before taking charge of his first game, Allardyce was inadvertently preparing the ground for his downfall with his loose talk in a London hotel in August to the investigative reporters.A covert video showed Allardyce appearing to offer advice to fictitious businessmen on how to sidestep an outlawed player transfer practice and also to negotiate a 400,000-pound ($519,000) public-speaking contract to top up an annual England salary of 3 million pounds ($4 million).A further video showed Allardyce mocking predecessor Roy Hodgson, who was fired after Englands humiliating loss to tiny Iceland at the European Championship in June, questioning the FAs financial strategy and talking dismissively about the organizations president, Prince William.The FA acted swiftly to publication of the story, holding emergency talks with Allardyce in London before announcing the termination of his two-year contract on Tuesday evening.In light of the media allegations that weve seen, FA chief executive Martin Glenn said, weve concluded -- and Sams agreed -- that his behavior has been inappropriate and frankly not what is expected of an England manager.And, as guardians of the game, Glenn insisted that the same rules and high standards of conduct had to apply to everyone in English soccer.That consistency, that trust that people have in us to behave in the appropriate manner, is core to what any football association is about, Glenn said. Its a painful decision because we thought he was a great manager, but its the right decision if we are to protect the integrity of The FA.One of Allardyces last official duties as England manager was participating in the Football Writers Association golf day on Monday. It appears Allardyce was playing golf with journalists when the Telegraph first put questions to the manager and his representatives about the investigation.Now Allardyce is left to reflect on losing his dream job.It was a great honor for me to be appointed back in July and I am deeply disappointed at this outcome, said Allardyce, who was never called up by England during his playing career. Although it was made clear during the recorded conversations that any proposed arrangements would need the FAs full approval, I recognize I made some comments which have caused embarrassment.England is not rushing to replace Allardyce. Gareth Southgate, the manager of Englands under-21 side, will take charge of the senior teams next four matches -- against Malta, Slovenia, Scotland and Spain -- across October and November. That means there is less urgency for the FA to hire a new manager with the following game not until March 2017 when England hosts Lithuania in its fifth World Cup qualifier.The Telegraph published its investigation in its Tuesday edition, under the front-page headline: England manager for sale.Allardyce met people he reportedly thought were representatives of an Asian firm. In a grainy video, he is recorded as saying it was not a problem to circumvent FA rules that stop third parties from owning the economic rights of players. FIFA has banned third-party ownership as a threat to the games integrity because investors force transfers to make a profit.You can still get around it, the former Sunderland and West Ham manager said in the recording. I mean obviously the big moneys here.Allardyce told the undercover reporters that Hodgson sent players all to sleep. Allardyce also mimicked Hodgsons speech impediment.Only last week Allardyce was eagerly taking pictures on his phone of the European Championship trophy at the London launch of the branding for the Euro 2020 semifinals and final which are being staged at Wembley Stadium. In the recordings, Allardyce questioned why Prince William was absent from the launch.Hes our ambassador for the Football Association, so it would have been nice if hed have turned up but he obviously had more, much busier things on, Allardyce said.The cost of Wembley Stadium, which hosts England home games, was also a target for Allardyce in the recordings.They stupidly spent 870 million pounds on Wembley, so theyre still paying that debt off, Allardyce said of the FA. Theyre all about making money arent they? You know the FAs the richest football association in the world? Well, I shouldnt say that.Allardyce issued a sincere and wholehearted apology to the FA, but it wasnt enough to save one of the most high-profile jobs in world sport.

A knee to the thigh might have stung him the most, but his sixth straight double-double made up for the brief burst of pain. http://www.cheapcelticsjerseys.com/ .Y. - Rob Manfred was promoted Monday to Major League Baseballs chief operating officer, which may make him a candidate to succeed Bud Selig as commissioner.

LeBron James and Chris Bosh didnt need any more. Williams scored 11 points in 10 minutes, Alan Anderson scored 17 points, and the Brooklyn Nets finished the exhibition season with a 108-87 win over the Miami Heat on Friday night. There was a rare moment of unity in the boxing business at the end of Saturdays fight in Las Vegas when all three judges agreed on the score and both boxers demanded a rematch.Andre Ward won three light-heavyweight world title belts from Sergey Krusher Kovalev, but in his long battle for the hearts and pockets of boxing fans it is probably still a close fight. Ward is brilliant, a master in the boxing arts and has never received the respect his skills demand from the boxing public. He is not always slick on the eye, seldom gets a knockout in big fights and is just too darned nice.Ward survived a clean knockdown in round two when Kovalev found a rare hole in the Californian boxers brilliant defence; Ward went down heavy, smiled and jumped up quick. I smiled to say, OK, now the fight can start, said Ward.It was a fight of two very separate parts, seemingly divided equally between the two boxers; Kovalev won the first half and Ward the last six rounds. At the end the three identical scores of 114-113 were in Wards favour, he had swept rounds seven through twelve.Kovalev was desolate: I lost maybe three rounds. I want the rematch. Ward maintained his calm, his battered face a bruised accompaniment to his low-key victory speech: I had to get dirty to win and I did. I would have a rematch, sure.It is rare in a fight that divides ringside and television opinion for the judges to totally agree. It is odd, given the fact that only one point separated the pair, that people are screaming and hollering about a robbery. It was close, hard and Ward probably just deserved it. Kovalev certainly faded after six, a victim of the pace he set, Wards wrestling and possibly the years of shrinking his big body into the light-heavyweight limmit have now become a real drain.ddddddddddddWard was in trouble in the first, down in the second and struggling in the first half of the fight. It has been a long time since Ward had a test in front of him, a long time since he dominated at super-middleweight with masterclasses against the divisions best Carl Froch, Mikkel Kessler and Arthur Abraham. He has been inactive, unimpressive and should have probably taken a hard warm-up instead of Kovalev, who had made the light-heavyweight division his personal playground since 2013.Kovalev and his promoter, Kathy Duva, went long into the night moaning about the mix of judges, the referee, some undisclosed issues Kovalev had, Wards holding. It was a familiar worn list from the lips of most first-time losers; if one of the judges had scored it wide in Wards favour their claims would have some validity. A rematch makes sense.Ward and Virgil Hunter, the man who has guided him for decades, praised the right people, complimented the deserving and slipped away. Ward made no bold claims about how clearly he had won the struggle. Its professional boxing, its not always going to be cute. I got up off the canvas and won ugly, said Ward. A rematch will mean big money, even more than the five million Ward was paid. Kovalev walked away with two million dollars. Both their reputations improved.They will probably do it again and when it happens Ward will be in better fight condition and Kovalev will know not to slip into Wards clutches. If they are both going to be better, it makes their second fight a genuine modern classic. It will still be tight, trust me.
