When Allardyce was officially appointed: 13th, points from relegation = 5, points from 7th = 9
Now: 9th, points from relegation = 7, points from 7th = 3
We were 5 points above the relegation places before Allardyce took over, now we're 7, so in his 14 games (and 42 points on offer) in charge we're a massive 2 points better off than before he started.
We may sit in 9th place, and 3 pts from 7th, but even when we couldn't buy a win we somehow still managed to stay 9th, so it may be a tad bit of improvement, but that for me really points to how gash the prem really is this season.
Also, we're as gash now as we were under Koeman and Unsworth, so no improvement there.
