Sam Allardyce Wants To Have A Drink With Man Utd’s Louis Van Gaal

The West Ham boss was disappointed when he
wasn’t offered the chance of a glass and a chat with
his Manchester United counterpart when the pair
faced each other in September.
.
Allardyce said: “My office door is always open but
the sad thing is that lots of managers don’t even
bother any more – and it’s not just the foreign
managers.
.
“It’s another tradition gone out of the window. I can
understand it because there’s so much media we
have to do after a game.
.
“But it’s a chance to talk, isn’t it? It’s not very long
these days, five maybe 10 minutes, but it is a chance
to chat that you don’t often get.
.
“Maybe one day when Van Gaal settles in, he will
come along – but it is a shame that it is slipping away
from the game.”
.
Allardyce looks set to recall Diafra Sakho today after
the club were fined and reprimanded by FIFA after
the player withdrew from Senegal’s Africa Cup of
Nations squad with a back injury athen played for
the Hammers in the FA Cup.
