Roy Hodgson says he has never received a private apology from Sam Allardyce and insists it is ‘far too late’ to make up for comments he made in 2016.
The Crystal Palace boss and Allardyce come face to face on Saturday for the first time since the Everton manager — during his time as England boss — was caught on camera mocking the 70-year-old’s speech impediment. Allardyce called him ‘Woy’ and said Hodgson would ‘send them all to sleep’ if he became a public speaker.
Those remarks were revealed during an undercover newspaper sting that led to Allardyce’s sacking by the FA after a single game in charge.
