Former FA executive Adrian Bevington said the situation surrounding Sam Allardyce is 'embarrassing for everybody concerned' but does not think the England manager will lose his job.
Allardyce's position as manager of the Three Lions is in serious doubt after he used his new position to negotiate a £400,000 deal with businessmen and offered them advice on how to get around Football Association transfer rules.
Bevington said he experienced a similar situation with Sven-Goran Eriksson and envisages a 'very difficult few weeks' for the FA.
'We all want England to be successful and we all want Sam to be successful, but this is very uncomfortable reading for anyone associated with the England team and the FA this morning.
