Obviously I'm denying all allegations that have been alleged against me.

That's Sam Allardyce denying he had anything to do with bungs.

Out of interest, surely allegations can only be alleged? That's why they are allegations. I suppose they could have been levelled at him, but they still would have been allegations.

We'll put Allardyce's tautology down to the stress of the situation in which he finds himself, and will wonder out loud whether the situation prevented him from staking a better claim to be England manager than Steve McClaren.
