I think you are being melodramatic tbh.

So he disagreed with a young player on his loan destination, citing fears that he would get a lack of game time there, and he has been proven correct. I could see the likes of Moyes and other managers having the exact same outlook and disagreement with a young player like Lookman. He would have got a lot more playing time at Derby County, and a loan to Derby would have been perfectly fine for him at this stage of his career.

As for your diagnosis of sociopathy, I don't think being an egotistical football manager that is thick skinned and hard faced meets the criteria for such a diagnosis. If it does, then most of the managers in the league are living with such a diagnosis. In fact, such personality traits would be included in the person specification for the job of a football manager.

He has a remarkably clean criminal record for a sociopath. No arrests, no assaults, no fraud, buggery, rape, or murder. In fact his biggest crime seems to be playing a defensive brand of football that has proven successful in preventing clubs from being relegated.

He may lack some empathy in subjecting people to boring football but I don't think that constitutes sociopathy tbh.

So he's never taken a bung or a brown paper envelope in his arse pocket then?

Koeman's ego was worse. He was also far more anti-social. I don't think Koeman is a sociopath either. An arsehole, yes. Sociopath, no.

Probably.

If Sam was a sociopath he would not have given a rat’s ass about the Poll or its findings.

To be fair Allardyce never said he was crap, he said he wasn’t what we needed at the moment. I took that to mean, in the context of Sam’s other interviews at the time, people who will scrap and battle to get us out and away from the relegation zone. The lad doesn’t work hard enough defensively, he has been picked up on this in Germany by the coach, and we aren’t good enough to play with 10 1/2 men on the pitch.

So coach him FFS, don't just shrug your shoulders and tell him to jog on. Is it not the job of a coach to identify players weaknesses and then, crucially, help them improve that aspect of their game? Apparently not for Mr Allardyce, if a player isn't exactly what we need the minute Allardyce meets him then he can do one to Derby where some other coach can do the heavy lifting.
 

I believe a few of our players are pretty overrated, but not this guy. He's an elite talent; two footed, skillful and he's showing better composure in front of goal.

A question that should have been on that survey:

"In your opinion, who is more important towards the future of the football Club?"
A: Ademola Lookman
B: Sam Allardyce

How many votes do you reckon the Bisto mascot would get?
 
Nobody is saying he's Messi, but he has more potential than Bolasie and should have got minutes after his contribution in the derby...But no because Fat Head
