Sam Allardyce’s scandal induced resignation from his role as England manager has caused collateral damage for the FA in the form of 4,000 T-shirts intended to be handed out during England’s upcoming match against Malta — what would have been Allardyce’s first at Wembley.
From the Daily Mail:
The FA wanted to mark the World Cup qualifier by giving away T-shirts printed with the slogan: ‘The journey starts with us all pulling together’ — something Allardyce said on the day he was appointed.
A crowd mosaic of coloured cards has also been pulled.
Scrapping the T-shirts and mosaic leaves the FA £25,000 out of pocket.
There was room for further embarrassment for the FA on Thursday night after it emerged England’s players also received postcards from their former manager – sent the day he was sacked – that read: ‘Our journey has begun. Looking forward to seeing you soon.’
I like the way he signed it “lie eeeeee”
Vardy will be selling them from the boot of his car outside of King Power.
