[新聞] Magpies boss rules out England role
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_2896913,00.html
Sam Allardyce has ruled himself out of the running for the England vacancy
as he intends to honour his contract at Newcastle.
Allardyce was a strong contender to replace Sven Goran Eriksson after the
2006 World Cup and his name is back in the frame following the FA's decision
to terminate the contract of Steve McClaren.
The axe swiftly fell on McClaren less than 12 hours after the dismal 3-2
defeat by Croatia at Wembley cost England a place at Euro 2008.
Former Bolton boss Allardyce was given the opportunity to apply for the
national job by Reebok Stadium chairman Phil Gartside, but the Magpies
appear keen to retain the services of a man they only appointed this summer.
Honoured
When asked if would be interested in the post, Allardyce told Sky Sports News:
"No, because I'm contracted to Newcastle United, and from my point of view
that contract needs to be honoured.
"I'm not in the position like I was at my old club where the chairman openly
extended the invitation for me to go for the position. I'm not in that
position now."
Sam在被問到他是否想要接下 England的教練一職時表示,
他現在有跟 Newcastle有合約在身,同時他認為這個合約需要被尊重履行.
最主要是,"立場"的問題.
當初他在 Bolton的時候, Bolton的主席願意讓他去接那個位置,但現在立場不同了.
Non-negotiable
Allardyce admitted he was not surprised to see McClaren sacked, with
qualification for major tournaments deemed to be a necessary aspect of the
England job.
He added: "I don't think it's any shock to anybody, unfortunately, part of
that job - the non-negotiable - would be to qualify for the Euro 2008
championships and if you don't you suffer the consequences.
"A night that looked that it was going to be so bright ended up so bad, and
for that and the results earlier on in the group stages it has cost him his
job."
Sam表示他不意外 McClaren被火,這就是 England這工作的一部分.
"一個看起來無限美好的夜晚卻以非常糟糕遺憾的方式結束."
