There's a better likelihood of him leaving some gravy on his plate.

I'm going to put my neck on the line here and say that he can.

If we recruit well in the summer, and have a positive pre-season - then I'd be quite happy to see him in the dugout come August.

We all got Kenwrighted. Quite a dose as well.

He won't try to win the fans over. Even if his recruitment is great and we're relatively dominant at home, he'll play for so many draws away from home that he'll throw all chance of exceptional achievement out the window for the sake of his CV.

That's why there's really no point bothering next season if he's in charge. Every game will feel like an end-of-season dead rubber because we already know the best we can expect.

I love the thread title ‘win back the fans’...he never had them in the first place, so it’s impossible to win them back......

Here's one for you, looking at our final games:

Stoke (Away)
City (Home)
Them (Home)
Swansea (Away)
Barcodes (Home)
Huddersfield (Away)
Southampton (Home)
Hammers (Away)

If we were to get 15/16 points from those, would you be happy enough to give him another year?

Stoke (Away) - Won
City (Home) - Lost
Them (Home) - Draw
Swansea (Away) - Draw
Barcodes (Home) - Won
Huddersfield (Away) - Won
Southampton (Home) - Draw
Hammers (Away)

12 points. needs a win this weekend.

No because he isnt a likeable person, its not even about the points, as we cant really complain about coming 8th after what happened before he came here, its him as a person

If he doesn't lose his job and is there for the start of next season , what will the reaction to him and the team be then ?
I do think that if he isn't here next season it will be 95% because of the fans reaction to Sam.

Even Sam must realise it’s over.....

Allardyce has never been accepted wherever he has gone, the fans know what it means for their immediate future when he rocks up to their training ground. Tedious football and the forfeit of any tangible progress.

He was doing well with West Ham for a little while if I recall and the shouts for his head never abated. I'm in the minority in that I appreciate him stabilising a particularly shaky situation at the start of the season (I was definitely concerned about being pulled into a relegation battle), but he is not the man for the future and everyone knows that.

So no, he can't turn it around, in the sense of winning over fans at least. He is despised the minute he enters the door wherever he goes, and not wholly unjustifiably. It's up to the board to assess whether it's worth it to persist with him through his trademark atmosphere of negativity
