Sam Allardyce

[larbert toffee]

Probably not in this case, because we didn't have any option but to give him that large pay off because he had another 12 months on his contract. We couldn't really say "Sign this NDA or we won't pay you" because he'd just sue us, and win.

'Exclusive' on Talksport is usually a big letdown anyway, still think there would have been an agreement in place and an extra bung in his arse pocket, we'll see.

Oh yes, that does often happen. He was quite conciliatory in his interview so he could well have some kind of agreement.

That last caller was a gobshite, how anyone can even contemplate getting Moyes back is beyond me

They're very careful who they select to talk on talk sport mate. They'll let the odd one through, for 'balance' but the vast majority must meet their anti-Ev driven agenda

Then sit there, with little stiffies, in the knowledge that they're always right.

Andy Hunter is a blue

Ah I had a feeling he might be

 

[BigMick]

No. Enough of the jobs for old boys.. Time to move on. Joe will always be a legend but that's in the past

True enough but it would at least reveal what he thought of Large Samuel.

We must keep posting.


Lest we forget.

It's how we heal.

There will be a club willing to pay Sam a couple million in November

Speaking quite well tbh, doesn't sound angry or bitter, like media have hinted at.

He's used to it mate. I suppose a £6M wedge in his back pocket helps to heal his bitterness.

Great article about him in the Guardian today, none of the usual media spin on this one

The most telling part of the piece.

"That leaves the not insignificant matters of a stadium finance deal and a fourth management team in eight months to be resolved. Everton are relieved of Allardyce but in many respects are also back to square one."

Just hope it isn't us.

Being back to square one is a positive and not a negative in my view. We all make mistakes christ the amount of appointments I've made which are a flop in terms of employment I could write a column myself. It think it's refreshing to have a full change at the helm as it shows intent we aren't to be messed with you mess up your out end of.

At least he lowered the bar for his successor - now go away.

Sam came in, did a job and now has been moved on.
Very quickly confined to history.

What is far more important is looking forward who will our manager be, how influential will Brands be, what transfer budget will we have and which players come... and go, as well we have the new stadium project... these are the things that I want to hear about not a former manager.
