Sam Allardyce's departure as England manager was a major talking point on Twitter.

"Staggering mis-judgement by Sam, feel for him, correct decision @FA ,importance to surround yourself with the right people is the main lesson." - England's 2003 rugby union World Cup-winning coach Sir Clive Woodward (@CliveWoodward).

"After watching the whole video I'm not entirely sure what Sam Allardyce has done wrong in all this." - Actor and presenter James Corden (@JKCorden).

"Sam Allardyce - Our most successful England manager ever. He's won every match they've played #SamAllardyce" - Presenter Keith Chegwin (@keithchegwin).

"The FA had no choice but to sack #SamAllardyce. It would have been uproar if they hadn't. Who is up for the job now?" - Former Olympic athlete Kelly Sotherton (@KellySotherton).
