A ross between Mr Bumble the Beadle and Wackford Sqeers.
Although some of our fans still see him as Gradgrind.

He’s pushed us on from the disaster that was Unsworth’s caretaker reign.
If we finish 10th, Sam will make it seem like he’s won us the league and what a miracle it is for us to be there.
He needs to go in the summer for us to be on track for being a Champions League club by the time we move stadiums.

It was clear that he was not motivating the players or able/willing to gel a team from his purchases. Barkley criticised, Lukaku told he should aspire for better, Stones gone too. A great assembled pool of talent can fail with bad leadership. There was no comaradery under Koeman and the fight was not channelled correctly (Lyon game a prime example).

Allardyce is talking down expectations e.g. target is top half. Is this managing expectations or being conservative? He sounds like a man who doesn't believe this form can last and as though he himself is surprised at the great run we are on. I don't think he really knows how he has had such a significant impact and as such expects the wheels to fall off again at some point.
Lucky we got him when we did in a way
Stoke would have surely sacked Hughes by now if Allardyce was on the market

He's not perfect, but he'll do just fine for us right now.
Still want Dyche as the long-term solution, but - and while I'm aware this may end up sounding a bit Brexit - it's good to have a British coach back in charge who gets how big the club is and straight away has shown a willingness to play the youngsters and stick with them.
But in the main, BFS has made things - in the main - easier for a lot of players by simplifying their games. Still needs a few more tweaks but we've played some good stuff going forward and the team look full of confidence. Defensively, everyone knows their jobs and are doing them well.

10 points clear off relegation, 6 points behind Spurs.
Can't argue with that. It's already looking like a relegation fight is something that won't happen.
I still can't see him being here next year but he's done one hell of a job at steadying the ship.

...and Del-boy lost as well.
Koeman was a disaster. That Dutchman's arrogance index was only matched by his BMI.
To strike a balance here, Darth, Stones was going, Lukaku thought himself above us and Ross still isn’t the player he thinks he is.

Surely he's much of a muchness with Allardyce? I don't really see any difference at all.
There's not that much between the bottom 12 or so teams this season, which is why if our continued crap form had continued we'd be in big trouble right now
Thankfully, Allardyce has tightened things up and we've put a bit of a run together
Once we get to 40 points we can start looking upward and trying to get into the top 8
Until we get those 40 points we're not out of the woods, so if the football becomes less exciting so that we can get the required results then that's fine with me
For the first time in a while we went 0-1 down last night and I still thought we could get back in the game. In the dying days of Koeman or Martinez I wouldn't have had that feeling, and we probably wouldn't have got back into it either. That's progress
Sam wasn't my choice, but he's doing well fighting the fire that was our early season collapse. That was why he was brought in, and thus far it's "job done". Here's hoping we get to those 40 points ASAP so we can start looking up instead of down
