English FA chairman speaks about Sam Allardyce appointment

"They've taken that decision and obviously we'll agree with them."

Sam Allardyce will be appointed as England's next manager at Thursday's Football Association board meeting at Wembley, outgoing chairman Greg Dyke has confirmed.

Allardyce has been selected as Roy Hodgson's replacement by a three-man panel comprising FA chief executive Martin Glenn, vice-chairman David Gill and technical director Dan Ashworth, beating out the likes of Steve Bruce, Eddie Howe and Jurgen Klinsmann.
