Is Harry Kane England’s greatest ever striker? Is Jude Bellingham on course to become one of the greatest players in England’s history? And how will Manchester City respond to the latest developments? Big Sam Allardyce is back on No Tippy Tappy Football to discuss the biggest talking points from the international break and the Premier League. Sam gives his verdict on Thomas Tuchel’s England after four games, before discussing Jude Bellingham’s incredible rise and whether the Real Madrid midfielder is already ahead of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Paul Scholes at the same age. Harry Kane is also in the spotlight after reaching 91 goals in 125 England appearances. Sam debates whether Kane is England’s greatest ever striker and chooses between Kane, Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen. Sam then answers your questions, including what Premier League managers spend too much time coaching, what teams don’t practise enough and whether modern football managers overcomplicate the game. Plus, Big Sam reacts to Cristiano Ronaldo’s treatment by Portugal, Manchester City’s trip to a potentially hostile Anfield and the toughest football grounds he experienced during his managerial career. The episode finishes with Sam reflecting on the Legends of Football Awards, his conversations with David Moyes and Roy Hodgson, and where Thierry Henry ranks among the greatest players he faced as a manager. 00:00 Intro 03:30 Man City: What Happens Next? 08:55 Thomas Tuchel’s England Reviewed 10:30 Is Harry Kane England’s Greatest Ever Striker? 13:00 Kane, Rooney, Shearer or Owen? 16:17 Is Jude Bellingham on Course to Be England’s GOAT? 20:30 Bellingham vs Gerrard, Lampard & Scholes at 23 22:13 What Do Premier League Managers Overcoach? 27:12 Big Sam Reacts: Should Ronaldo Get Special Treatment? 31:30 How Will Man City Handle a Hostile Anfield? 33:47 The Toughest Ground Sam Ever Managed At 35:55 Legends of Football: The Managers’ Table 42:30 Where Does Thierry Henry Rank? _ Make sure you Like, Comment & Subscribe & turn on notifications so you know when a new episode drops. 📲 BET £10 GET £30 IN FREE BETS When you join BoyleSports 👇 https://ads.boylesports.com/redirect.aspx?pid=53075&bid=8624 18+.

Manchester City have been found guilty of serious breaches of Premier League financial rules — and Sam Allardyce has his say on what happens next. On this episode of No Tippy Tappy Football, Sam reacts to the independent commission’s findings covering nine seasons between 2009/10 and 2017/18, including the use of “sham” commercial arrangements which the commission said artificially inflated Manchester City’s revenue and reduced reported costs by more than £900 million. City deny wrongdoing and intend to appeal the findings. Sam discusses just how serious the situation is, whether Manchester City can escape the consequences, what punishment they could face and whether their trophies should be taken away. We also debate where Manchester City’s situation sits alongside previous football scandals, including Juventus and Southampton, whether City fans should have sympathy, whether the club could still be in the Premier League next season and, most importantly, just how far this punishment could go. Could Manchester City end up outside the Premier League? Could the current squad stay together? And would Sam Allardyce really consider taking the job if City were playing in League Two? Then we turn our attention to England. Sam and Will review England’s games against Spain and Czechia, discuss Trent Alexander-Arnold’s return to the squad, Anthony Gordon’s comments about his footballing IQ and what Thomas Tuchel needs to achieve to be considered a success with England. Sam also explains whether he believes Tuchel can be the man to finally deliver success with England. _ Make sure you Like, Comment & Subscribe & turn on notifications so you know when a new episode drops. 📲 BET £10 GET £30 IN FREE BETS When you join BoyleSports 👇 https://ads.boylesports.com/redirect.... 18+.
