Moyes: 'Sam did a great job in his six months here'
The new Sunderland boss David Moyes has praised the former manager Sam Allardyce.
He said 'Big Sam' had earned his stripes that meant he was an ideal candidate for the England job, and his achievement in keeping the team up last season was 'exceptional'.
Talking to the press for the first time, he said there is a 'terrible record' though at the club for the number of managers who have been at the helm in recent years.
