Facing the media after his departure was announced, Allardyce admitted to “an error of judgment” before leaving with family for an overseas holiday. Allardyce, who also managed Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers and West Ham United in the Premier League before his ill-fated spell with England, was pictured sitting in the home director’s box, next to Sir Alex Ferguson and close to Manchester United executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward.
