An undercover reporter has obtained evidence that Sam Allardyce is calling himself a woman in order to circumvent new positive discrimination laws designed to give women a better chance at landing top coaching jobs in football.
The law requires at least one woman to be interviewed for each managerial vacancy, but documents reveal how the former Bolton and Blackburn boss - affectionately nicknamed Big Sam - followed Caitlyn Jenner's example and declared himself a woman prior to his appointment as Sunderland manager last week, following the departure of Dick Advocaat.
A club spokesman yesterday denied any fraud had taken place, and confirmed that Allardyce , 61, will be receiving gender reassignment treatment, but that it may take a little longer than usual to complete.
