Big Sam Not In Plans

Zephyr Rovers Chairman George Nash said this evening that he wasn't behind Big Sam's departure from Bolton. "I've built a perfectly good working relationship with Rovers Manager Steve Hall" said Nash "and beside Big Sam (pictured) has had a few question marks about him since that Panorama programme". Nash said that whilst Rovers wouldn't say no to an appearance on Close Up or Sunday, he thought that there would be a shortage of offers for 'bungs' at Rovers to attract a top class manager. "You don't see the level of bungs at this club that a top flight manager would expect" said Nash "although we wouldn't be averse to taking the odd backhander if some kind billionaire wanted to off load a bit of loose change". Nash said the coverage of indoor by Television New Zealand was scandalous. "I don't think we've been on TV once" said Nash "but the Horowhenua under ten rugby reserves have been on Heartland rugby about five times".
