Big Sam

[Yarrgh]

If our current form continues we will be relegated, a disaster from which we could never recover. Everything about our club screams the lower leagues, our antiquated wooden stadium in particular. The only manager who would have a reasonable chance of keeping this woeful squad in the Premier League is Big Sam. I can't stand the man but I think we should bite the bullet and put our record breaking top-flight status ahead of our purism.

Have I been in a gravy induced coma for 2 years.

Booo!

The stick he got was a joke , I saw Big Dunc talking about it - saying it really got to him when people were booing when we won games.

Please see below for the correct answer :

Sums him up.

He didn't make even the smallest effort to get the fans onside. Seemed to delight in winding people up needlessly.

All he had to do once we were safe was try and play a bit of footy, rather than his footy version of rugby league and he’d have got some of the fans on board.

But he’s so far up his own ego that he just couldn’t do it and carried on popcorning the fans at the same time.

My heart bleeds for him.

Any stick should have been aimed at the bloke who appointed him , he was asked to do a job and did it , and we moved on (to a worse manager)

Correct, people are forgetting what came before and after, he was never seen as the right man long term, but the 2 who were are both spectacular failures

Oh FFS

LOCK THIS

A SUCCESSFUL WIND UP

WELL DONE

NOW LOCK


NO!!

My biggest wish is now no longer that we win the league, it is that I wish we had never ever appointed him and therefore his name would never appear in discussions like this.

Yes I agree with you there Sam needs this not.

 

[gianthogweed]

I doubt even him would not come back for sloppy seconds

 

[Barry Rathbone]

He earned the right to build a side after stopping the rot and it was rank bad management binning him without seeing the result. The good ship Allardyce has sailed (or should that be gravy boat? arf arf)

 

[KaiserEFC]

I see all the fans of the least popular manager we have ever had have come out the woodwork. Pure poetry.

It's this sort of thread that made GOT great...

 

[windymiller]

This thread has got precisely the result the OP wanted, a bunch of gammons crawling out of the woodwork wanting a gravy soaked, pint of wine swilling hoof ball merchant back at the club. Boggles the mind. All he's done since leaving, with millions in his back pocket btw, is slag us off. Some of the same people who hate Benitez for his "small club" comments and Moyes for the whole Manure situation, no doubt. The fact that these three Muppets are even in the conversation shows the state we are in as a football club. Joke.

Missed me yet?

 

[Kev The Rat]

Should never have been sacked

 

[Billysgingham.]

Should never have been sacked

I agree and you don't know how difficult that was for me to write...whilst in a straitjacket.

My thoughts on Allardyce are summed up with the fact that, out of them both, the one I didn’t mind was Sammy Lee.
