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. Cheap Mavericks Jerseys .

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Deon Cain could not bear to watch Clemsons national championship game last January. He shut off his phone, stayed away from friends following every play, did not Tweet or read posts on social media.Cain, suspended before the Orange Bowl , was upset that he had let his teammates down in the biggest games of the year and did not want reminders of his failure.I know how hard our team worked last year, Cain said this week, his first time taking questions since the suspension. I felt like I let my team down just not being in that game.Cain, who watched the game over the summer, has returned to the field and found his freshman form when he caught 35 passes for 582 yards and five touchdowns. And that production all came during Clemsons second half surge when the team averaged 558 yards and 40.1 points a game.He caught his first touchdown pass this season with a 23-yard, fourth-quarter grab that turned out to be the winning points in Clemsons 30-24 victory over Troy last week.Cain and No. 5 Clemson (2-0) face FCS opponent South Carolina State (0-2) on Saturday.The wide receiver cherishes being able to look forward to playing.After Dabo Swinney sent him home the night before the Orange Bowl, it was a time for reflection. Instead of becoming angry and spiteful, blaming others, Cain -- who also missed spring practice -- accepted his responsibility and worked to get back in Swinneys favor.He still has a program and a team to run, Cain said of Swinney. And you dont want anything to make our whole program look bad. So I had to sit down and realize that I had to get myself right to help this team.Tigers quarterback Deshaun Watson kept Cain sharp when the two would run a few routes. Thats been evident early on as Cain has broken free of defenders several times the first two games.Im still fast as lightning, the 6-fooot-2, 200-pound Cain quipped.ddddddddddddain, kicker Ammon Lakip and tight end Jay Jay McCullough were all sent back to campus for violating team rules. Lakip was a senior last year while McCullough is no longer with the program.Many wondered if Cain would be back with the Tigers. He was suspended for the Miami game last October for a team violation and his postseason suspension looked to be the final straw. Cain realized the opportunity he had with the Tigers, both academically and for his potential pro career. Clemson, emerging as Wide Receiver U with DeAndre Hopkins, Sammy Watkins, Adam Humphries and Martavis Bryant all former Tiger pass catchers in the NFL.I would never leave this program because they have never done anything bad to me, said Cain, of Tampa, Florida. I put this program on a pedestal because theyve done a lot of stuff to help me. I just wasnt mature enough to see the opportunity they were giving me.Cain leaned on family to keep him grounded and striving toward his goals during his time off the field.I know and they know that I have a big future in front of me and goals that I want to set that Ive been working toward my whole life, Cain said. Its not something that I want to throw away.Swinney said Cain served his time and has lived up to responsibilities since returning to the team. The Tigers could certainly use the sophomores breakaway skills to kick start their sluggish offense, which has totaled 49 points in two games.Cain added 15 pounds over the summer without losing his speed -- and proving he has bought into the teams goals.Its fine that that Im back with the team and were all in good graces, he said.---OnlineAP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Stitched NFL Jerseys Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Wholesale NFL Camo Jerseys NFL Jerseys Outlet Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Throwback Jerseys ' ' '
