It's crystal clear the Club have given the nod to their media mates to brief against Allardyce almost at will now. Backed up by his own attack dogs spinning his propoganda. For the sake of EFC it needs to be over soon and I'm convinced the good news will come around 5pm on May 13th.
I hope we batter Newcastle on Monday, same as I hope we snot Huddersfield, Southampton and West Ham. It is possible to want both that and to be rid of this egotistical dinosaur.
In the same way that I reckon EFC know who their next mgr, DoF and signings are I'd expect Allardyce to have media contracts sitting on his desk so he can pull apart Fonseca from the comforts of a Dubai studio.
Think you are pretty spot on with all of that mate, part of me still wonders if there is some clause inserted in Allardyces contract come the summer - meaning either no/or a reduced compensation, as i have rarely seen any manager appearing to try to get sacked the way he is atm, alienate the fans - yup at every opportunity and presser, call out the owner effectively yesterday - yup, insulted players and club staff over the last month - yup and several times, made it seem like Kenwright did a grovelling apology - yup.
IF there is one supporter left that he hasn't covered trying to alienate i would be shocked.
Tin foil hat time
Allardyce given a 18 month contract, big bonus if he successfully keeps us up, termination clause both parties could activate in the summer - meaning no or reduced compensation is paid.
Most profitable (and we know Sam likes profit), would be keeping the club up and then trying to force a sacking before seasons end to get a full pay out...
