Outside of 3rd world politics, In what other job could you be sacked so publicly for something as serious as corruption, and yet re employed by a seemingly reputable entity just weeks later? In my industry you'd be finished for good.
I'm not someone who rants against standards in professional football normally and I know it's not the most transparent and respected industry, but I find this genuinely distasteful and I'm surprised there's not more of a moral backlash.

Very similar to the Malky Mackay situation - very publicly sacked for racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism and sexism - later given one of the top jobs within the SFA developing football.

In fairness to Allardyce... What the Telegraph had on him was a long, long way short of corruption.

In fact, it was much ado about pretty much nothing.

Banking/financial services and tabloid journalism spring to mind immediately as two areas of employment where ethics don't play a huge role. And politics across the globe is riddled with crooks. Not only poor countries.

Even though my misses and Adrian, plus one or two more, are Palace fans, I hope they get relegated as I just read that Allardyce has been offered £4 million (in addition to his salary) just to avoid relegation.

Ah, but Malky has been on a course and kept a scrapbook as evidence of how he's not like that no more mister.
