FA could have done better background check on Sam Allardyce, says leading agent

"If anybody had spoken to any of us, we would've said, 'You know what, he's not Mother Teresa'."

The Football Association could have dug deeper for information before appointing Sam Allardyce as England manager, according to a leading agent.

Association of Football Agents founder Mel Stein believes the FA should have asked his colleagues about Allardyce, who left his post last week after just 67 days in charge.
