Sams one of these managers you want to play for and hes got that character about him. Davies was impressed with the way Allardyce brought several nationalities together into a tight unit at Bolton Hes a big personality and he knows exactly when to push you, when to give you the carrot and when to crack the whip.Ive worked under a dozen or so managers and his man-management skills are second to none. I enjoyed my four or five years working underneath him.He gets the best out of you as individuals but also as a team. The first thing that strikes you about him is his ambition and his determination to be the best.That filters through to the players. We had 18 or 19 nationalities in the Bolton dressing room at one time but he found a way of bringing us all together. England have confirmed Allardyce as their new manager on a two-year deal He galvanises a squad of players and if anyone goes against that, theyre quickly found out and they could find themselves out of the squad. He wont suffer any fools.We want to see what Wales did, what Iceland did, Portugal, Italy. They had a real togetherness and got on well on and off the pitch. Thats something Sam really specialises in.He will pick players not only based on their ability but for their personalities as well. He will look at the whole chemistry within the team as well and I firmly believe he will be a success.

Sky Sports Tony Cottee thinks Allardyce was the best choice The FA could make as England boss Ultimately professional football is about winning and we need to get closer to winning with England.I know they didnt perform in the summer for whatever reason but they are capable of doing much, much better.Sam will get them organised, hell get a strong back four in place and every player will know exactly what theyre doing.

Calcavecchia and Wes Short Jr.LAS VEGAS -- Webb Simpson got the fast start he has looking for -- in the final round at TPC Summerlin and in the PGA Tours new wraparound season. Simpson birdied two of the first three holes Sunday, pulling away for a six-stroke win in the second event of the season. "One over through three yesterday and 2 under today felt like a huge difference," Simpson said. "And it was because it really let me slow down and pace myself, and you know, try to let the guys come after me." Winning for the first time since the 2012 U.S. Open, Simpson closed with a 5-under 66 in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. He finished at 24-under 260 after opening with rounds of 64, 63 and 67 to take a four-stroke lead into the final round. "As we were going kind of middle of the round, pins were tough, greens were drying out and I knew it would take a really special round for somebody to shoot 7, 8 under," Simpson said. "So, I felt like I was in control, and I asked my caddie, once I hit it on the green on 17 where we stood. And I was just thankful that I was able to kind of manage my golf ball the last couple rounds." Simpson earned $1.08 million for his fourth PGA Tour title. In addition to the U.S. Open last year at The Olympic Club, he won the Wyndham Championship and Deutsche Bank Championship in 2011. Ryo Ishikawa and Jason Bohn tied for second.

"I wish I could made a couple putts, like three putts," Ishikawa said. "I missed a lot of putts this week, like 10 feet, 15 feet, 20 feet. I missed a lot. But still, Im pretty happy with that result." Bohn had a 66. Charley Hoffman was fourth at 17 under after a 64. "When you get that far up the leaderboard every putt you make is worth big dollars and big FedEx Cup points," Hoffman said. "So, to get the year started off on the right foot, you always want to make those putts." Chesson Hadley, second entering the final round, had a 70 to drop into a tie for fifth at 16 under with Luke Guthrie, Troy Matteson and Charles Howell III. "I was certainly nervous out there today, but I was able just to kind of hang in there," Hadley said. Guthrie and Matteson shot 64, and Howell had a 65. Matteson had seven straight birdies -- on Nos. 9-15 -- to fall one short of the tournament record set by Jerry Kelly in 2003. "It was a really good ball-striking round," Matteson said. "As a matter of fact, when I got to 16, I thought I was going to get that eighth one and I ended up hitting the pin and almost going into the lake, so I would have had a tap-in there. But you know what, all in all its a great end to my week. I didnt quite figure it out in the middle (of the tournament), but I certainly put it together today." Calgarys Stephen Ames closed with a 69, leaving him 18 shots back at 278. ' ' '
