Now he says the club who picked him out of the trash after the Toon gave him the boot - Blackburn Rovers - are not the club he really wants to be at.
The 55-year-old said he was "not suited" to Rovers or his former club Bolton and would "win the double or the league every time" at the likes of Real, United, Inter Milan or Chelsea.
After the 'men in white coats' were called in - following his remarks - he now says he didn't really mean them.
Sam Allardyce: "I didn't think it would create quite as big a stir as it has done.
"It was a tongue-in-cheek comment. Somebody asked me if I had found my level and was comfortable as manager at Blackburn Rovers.
"I'm never comfortable as a manager because I am always looking to improve, and my terms of wanting to improve is about having a burning ambition to always get better than I am.
"Obviously, in the end, that would always be to try and get to the very, very top of the industry that I am working in.
"I believe in my own ability, that is the bottom line. At the moment it is with Blackburn Rovers, which I am very pleased about."
The man is a f***ing idiot!
