All Aboard the Sizeable Samuel Gravy Train!

[Seathestars]

I’ve always liked West Brom, bitter sweet now

Hated Sam the most. Silva and Martinez is basically a tie. They both produced a decent season but ultimately weren't good enough. Sam shades Koeman as the worst becasue 16/17 did happen it's just that Koeman has no ability to elevate a horrid squad. Losing Rom killed him off.

Fair enough...

Honestly, the only reason why I slightly gave the nod to Big Sam over Koeman mostly cause of the derby fixtures...

Under Koeman in the 16/17 season, our fixtures against Pool (home and away) were beyond disgraceful (you could tell we were gonna lose those derbies just looking over our performances in the opening minutes)...

At least we were able to hold them out to draws in 17/18 and God forbid put up a decent fight against those bastards...

Luck runs out this time .....Big Sam takes them down !

He won't be there when they actually go down.
By that time he'll be lying by the pool adjusting his "lounge pants".

He must have been desperate for the money and a job.
He will actually deserve a bit of credit if he keeps them up.

When he came here, we had just had a lot of tough teams in our opening fixtures and we were in an artificially low position. We also had higher ambitions at the start of the season but once Sam came in he just kept going on about keeping us up as if it were some huge achievement. So when he did it he was trying to claim success.

I like the Baggies but not while he is there.

Imagine being sacked as a manager and then finding out that Allardyce is seen as a better option than you.
It's Allardyce every day of the week for me as our worst ever manager and there are too many reasons to list.
I hate long posts!

Hope they go down to the conference. Bournemouth and norwich can follow them there too

It's been a horrible year for everyone throughout the world, in particular business owners but imagine how the chippy owners of the West Midlands feel right now. Superb news for them and I'm happy for them

"Sorry sir whats a gravy dinner?"

"Just put all your food and equipment and that pickled egg in gravy now thanks, oh and a diet coke"

"No"

It will be tough, but he has a good chance of keeping them up.

He is tailor-made for this as we know.

Basic organisation goes a long way in this league. Pick up a few draws here and there and win the odd game in 6.

It will be ugly but they won't care about that if they stay up.

 

[YoboCopter]

Dont think he will keep them up meself

 

[CharliePotato]

Don’t get the hate for Alladyce from us, they brought him in solely to do a job and keep us up/steady the ship, which he did. Was never a long term job and both parties knew the score.

I reckon he walks 5 games from the end if it looks like they are going down. Then it will be "how can I be blamed if I wasn't there for 13 games at the start and 5 at the end. If I was I would have kept them up" blah blah from the still unrelegated heavyweight champion of the world.

Probably stems from how detestable he is as a person

Very true that his ego wouldnt allow anything else would it

 

[Pabbers]

He has made them even worse....he does this.

I seen his Palace record....they sat 16th or 17th when he took over....he lost his first 3 games sending them even deeper into trouble....and when they finally climbed out, he claimed it as his victory......he saved himself....from himself.

Horrible man, horrible manager.
