The English Football Association is suddenly and unexpectedly in the market for a new manager. The Sam Allardyce scandal ended the boisterous manager's stint at the club just over two months after it began, and now his employers are left to pick up the pieces. The good news is that virtually nothing has changed in the short time since they brought Big Sam into the fold. Two months ago there were presumably concrete, sports-related reasons to hire Allardyce, and those reasons should still apply. The FA's motivation in hiring Allardyce should guide their hand in who they appoint next.
