ALLARDYCE - Any positives

[Jeff Jones]

The longer he's here the closer he is to the exit.

That applies to every other manager. I've always liked him and he is very experienced.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's at Everton for quite a while.

 

[jonnyg]

If tonight's anything to go by they wanted to perform for him. Whether it was because it was Unsys last game or not but having Sam in the stands has got to at least give you a kick to impress

Makes me more annoyed they can't get themselves up for it for any other game.

He's the first manager we've had in years whose testicles won't try to crawl up into his belly when we play the RS. I'm not expecting anything from the derby this time round, it's too early, but I am hopeful that we won't lie down.

 

[degsy]

I know we are all feeling pretty low right now and quite rightly too but are there any positives Sam's arrival?

I'll start with the obvious one, he's never got a team relegated and after Thursday and Sunday's awful showings relegation was a genuine concern.

any others?

Right this minute its hard to see a negative...no doubt that will change. But right now? Sound

W, L or D, i hope the only thing lying down is them rs...even if it means sore knuckles and 4 red cards

I listened to some of the show he did with jim white on talksport. I was impressed with his views on psychology. If anything he'll get the player's heads right, and then hopefully things will improve

Fat Sam,Fat chance.

One word, Bolton.

How was he supposed to do Europe with the Geordies, West Ham, Palace or Sunderland? All of those teams and Blackburn dropped without him, just like our lack of consistency (and growing lack of fight), since Moyes.

I'm cautiously optimistic about him. Our team is by far the best he's ever had. If he can drag us to top 10 he's done a good job.

If he can actually fix the players heads we'll fly up the table.

Spot on.

He was an early adopter of sport science in facilities and player health, nutrition and opta style money ball stats on players.

He's the one senior figure we need at a club in this transition period to a new ground. BK and Walsh are the frauds, not Sam.

 

[Kev The Rat]

This is the best team he’s ever managed or will manage. Bar his short stint as England boss this is the pinnacle of his career. So he may well surprise us. I think he will. I’d say top 7 is still on and if he does that surely he stays on another season. Certainly he got to the players heads yesterday. He’s also a hands on manager which is very far removed from the last 2 clowns we had in here. I seriously doubt if he will tolerate the likes of Schneiderlin or mirallas.

Good luck Sam prove the doubters who turn their noses up at you wrong.

Funny how people are questioning his recruitment. Look at the players our last two bosses brought in. Also, has he ever been anywhere with resources? Think this could be interesting in a good way.

Bollocks mate, it's a good job worth 6.5m per year to take a team in 13th and 2 points off 9th place up to tenth?

If we must have this cretin at the club, why don't we actually set and demand a target befitting the salary he is being paid - seriously looking at some comments when we appointed him, people acted like 17th would be an achievement and he should be given plaudits if he kept us up.

Set him the goal of overtaking Burnley and Watford at least if your optimistic about him.

I'll be fascinated to see who he goes after in January and those he doesn't want in his squad.
