I understand that you don't like Allardyce but what is your argument to back up that he won't take us to safety and is the wrong man for it? This was the reason he was brought in and since we only need about 10 points from a possible 42 to survive, with our points to game ratio above that during his time here, i'm confident he will do it.
Koeman was sacked with us sat in 18th, and at the time of Allardyce's announced appointment, which was before the West Ham game, we were 16th. We were 2 points above the drop having lost 5 of the last 7 under Unsworth, with the 2 previous games being a 5-1 humiliation at home to mid table Atalanta, and a 4-1 embarrassment at Southampton. We are now 9th, and 6 points above 18th which to me is better than the position we were in before Allardyce was appointed.
I wouldn't try and claim that he is the right man long term or that he is a great manager, but he is usually effective in steering sides away from relegation which he looks likely to do with us too. We were losing against the big sides before he came in (Spurs 3-0, United 4-0) and that has continued because he still has mostly the same imbalanced poor side that he inherited. We have also continued to drop points to sides we'd expect to do better against, but that was happening before he came in too - Southampton away, Burnley at home, Brighton away.
I think the poor run of results further highlights that we were in major trouble before he was appointed and those that claimed that appointing him was a knee jerk reaction and we weren't in trouble have been proven wrong because the poor form has continued. Time for the players to be held accountable too for collectively being terrible under 3 different managers.
