The nation reacts to Big Sam becoming the next England manager

He's finally getting his dream job.

Sky Sports, the Evening Standard, the Daily Mail and various other media outlets are all reporting the same "exclusive" - Sam Allardyce will be announced as the next England manager in a matter of hours.
