Sam Allardyce

[tim cahill]

What has he improved???

The only thing that improved our results was the return to fitness of Baines and Coleman. Nothing to do with allardyce.

There has been an improvement from albeit from a very low starting point. Walcott and Tosun have both been good additions and he’s played a more settled side which has helped us. There was far too much chopping and changing earlier in the season. That’s pretty much where the positives end though.

Just watched MOTD and they didn't even mention Everton and the fans showing their contempt for Fat Sam during their discussion of the game. Incredible.

I've never known a bigger media push not to criticise a man in my life.

Anyone would have took 8th after Southampton away and Allardyce taking over. He has done a good job, he just isn't the man to take Everton forward.

Even if Kenwright and Moshiri think Allardyce has done a great job they just can’t let him stay next season. Too many of our fans despise him too much for it to be allowed to continue... Surely?!

He’s done a half decent job, he deserves a pat on the back, a fat cheque to leave by mutual consent and a fresh summer for both us and him. There’s no way Moshiri sat there yesterday and thought to himself, giving this guy another year or indeed a contract extension seems like the right call.

It only becomes a poor appointment if he’s still here next season.

..I think that’s about right. He doesn’t deserve the vilification, he’s done what he was brought in to do and he’s had to work with an unbalanced and ineffective squad of players. He just hasn’t demonstrated the coaching ability to do anything else but survive. It’s all very scientific, it’s all very clinical in the pursuit of sufficient points.

We need to move on if we have ambition but I can’t help but feel the root cause of our on-field problems is in the recruitment of players and lack of playing strategy. DoF.

If you appoint him you know what you're going to get. He's done his job very well overall. Only thing he really got wrong was the derby where they were there to be turned over and we sat back.

He was the ideal stop gap but would only take the job with the guarantee of the extra year, so worst case scenario for him he leaves at the end of the season with a fat pay off.

Hahahaha.

Again on MOTD, they've just shown Leicester doing their lap of appreciation to an empty stadium whilst discussing Puel's future. Why didn't they show our empty stadium?!

There is a reason I haven't watched this crap in about 5 years, just remembered why.

Old Boy's Club.

There’s been no improvement though, he’s picked points up off teams we should be hammering. And even in these games we’ve scraped through them.

He had the fortune of having Coleman return, then Baines so we had balance. Plus he had January to add additional firepower (which still hasn’t really helped in creating chance after chance)

Any half decent manager would have turned that around; instead we’ve got lumbered with this fat pie eating meff because the fans mass panicked and media ran with the usual “only fat Sam can save them”

And the utter embarrassment is that some fans actually want this to carry on.

Good points mate. He is a big factor in our football being rubbish for most of the time since he came and as such has thrown away a decent opportunity to really make a name for himself. But we were not exactly Barcelona upto November were we? Lots of problems in the structure of the club off the pitch too.

I don’t think there’s many that want him to carry on.

You’d be surprised, certainly not the majority. But there’s some who are just happy to in the premier league

Absolutely bizarre that even with his nefarious dealings they all seem to support him.

They're probably all on the piss together in Dubai during the summer months. No doubt he'll be on pundit duty for the World Cup with his media mates, too.

Allardyce is on there a lot when he's not managing so they won't criticise him.
