... the jury is STILL out on him.
But .. the man currently in charge at Upton Park claims that he is good enough to take the reins at Real Madrid, Inter Milan or Manchester United.
However, he does not expect to get the chance.
The question is ... has there ever been a manager (home or abroad) who talk so much SHITE?
Sam Allardyce: "I'm not suited to Bolton or Blackburn. I would be more suited to Inter or Real Madrid - it wouldn't be a problem to me to go and manage those clubs because I would win the double or league every time.
"I won't ever be going to a top-four club so I think we'll just leave it at that.
"I don't ever comment on that [once saying he that he would not get a job because his name is Allardyce not Allardici] - that was tongue-in-cheek.
"I can understand what I can do, I understand my ability as a manager and I just do my job to the best of my ability wherever I work."
