Sam Allardyce: I have the talent to manage Europe's best clubs including Real Madrid
Blackburn Rovers manager Sam Allardyce has insisted that he has the experience and the skill to manage sides of the calibre of Real Madrid and win titles 'every time'.

Confident: Sam Allardyce insists that he has the capabilities to take on the challenge of managing one of Europe's top teams

Sam Allardyce’s managerial career may have been marked as much by an unshakeable self-confidence as it has been by his penchant for baiting Arsène Wenger and his enthusiasm for functional football, but even by his standards his claim on Friday that he would feel more at home at the Bernabeu than Blackburn is an unlikely one.

Given the former Bolton manager’s well-documented belief that his attempt to turn Newcastle into a genuine force was ended prematurely, and his permanent happiness to link himself with the England job, it is tempting to take such an assertion at face value.

It must be remembered, though, that Allardyce has always purveyed a fine line in mischief-making.

“I am not suited to Bolton or Blackburn,” he said, in apparent seriousness. “I would be more suited to Inter Milan or Real Madrid.”

Such a move, he believes, would bring both him and the club involved unparalleled success. “It would not be a problem to me to go and manage those clubs because I would win the double or the league every time.”

That qualification — “or the league” — is important.

Allardyce would not want anyone thinking he was getting carried away. Particularly as his next statement was designed to highlight his suitability to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United or Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea.

“Give me Manchester United or Chelsea and I would do the same, it would not be a problem. [This] is not where I am suited to, it is just where I have been for most of the time.

“It is not a problem to take me into the higher reaches of the Champions League or Premier League. It would make my job a lot easier in winning it.”

Allardyce, it should be noted, has always been genuinely happy to express his solidarity with his counterparts, a kindness he extended Mark Hughes, his opponent as manager of Fulham on Saturday and another man who the Blackburn manager feels has not been given the chance his talents deserve.

“There is a perception other people can do better than you, but in reality that is not the case,” he said.

come on reg, west ham are not scum, they have always tried to play real football. years ago liverpool v west ham was a meeting of two great football playing teams, they still have that in them.

our FA cup with over them only made the bond between us stronger, yes they were unhappy at the time but they also gave us the respect that other teams would not have, they have also helped when it come to the justice for the 96, even going as far as having their own banner in their stand for us.

you may not like them but they are not scum.
