Sam Allardyce says "entrapment won" after sting

Mr Allardyce left the top job just 67 days after he was appointed, when he was recorded telling journalists for the Daily Telegraph newspaper that he could help them circumvent the rules regarding third-party player ownership.  The practice, which is banned by England's Football Association, means  an investor other than their club has a stake in a player.
