I can understand people not wanting Allardyce for a whole variety of reasons and he is also far from my ideal choice.
I can’t understand some folk saying they would rather see us relegated though.
Right now, that is a distant nightmare but a possibility nonetheless. There are no guarantees with any appointment but it doesn’t seem the club is working from a long list of candidates.
Quite honestly, if I could start over I wouldn’t bother with football. It’s big business with no genuine competition and money obsessed.
There certainly isn’t honest money behind Chelsea and Man City.
We have put up with Shoite for years and keep coming back for more. Allardyce I’d look on as somewhat unpleasant medicine but one that has a higher probability of working nonetheless.
I do not want to take a chance on assessing the catastrophe of relegation if that happened whilst thinking we might have given ourselves a better chance of avoiding it if we made a more practical decision.
We are already in a different galaxy to the elite. Relegation is obliteration for the club. If it’s Allardyce we have him for 2 1/2 years at the absolute most, maybe less, he’ll be a pensioner afterwards.
He need not define the whole club and its support, but relegation would be defining.
We need an appointment and soon, I’ll get behind Allardyce, Dyche, whoever it is now.
My loyalty is to the club, not individual players or managers.
