Sam Allardyce

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

And people suggest hes still going to be here come the summer...

Please, hes doing his best to get the result, but also to get canned. He wants to get paid to leave, so he can sit around and eat. He knows full well the board will be fuming at suggesting its still a relegation battle at this point, rather than focusing on trying to get into europe. Because if he makes it to europe it makes the board look a little better and gives them hope people will forget how bad this season was.

Of course it does. Imagine after all this we finished 7th. It will be exactly the same position we cheered Koeman for last season. Its very bizarre.

I do think it will take a run of good form to finish there though with any game aside from Lpool and City being games we must take points from.

Actually he's right but that's just because we are so poor at the moment.

Problem is mate, he goes on about relegation ad nauseam.

Was there no press conference yesterday?

Was there no press conference yesterday?

I think he did it first thing this morning. I've seen a few quotes.
The main things the Fat one covered were:
Schneiderlin didn't travel to Dubai as he had a family emergancy back in France.
Niasse is doing great and is very happy
Coleman is struggling and is a doubt for Watford but Baines is back in contention
Mori is playing for the Under 23's again and will be ready for the first team after that
Dubai a massive success apparently and there is now excuse now for the players under performing

He’ll be here start of next season.

Why does he keep mentioning relegation? Any basic analysis of results would show we’d need an unprecedented run of poor results (like losing every game) to be relegated.

it's all he knows mate. He's made a career out of being a successful failure. Never good enough but always slightly better than the worst.

His comments in the presser this morning suggests that he's settled on his team for the rest of the season. The likes of Tosun, Klaassen, Vlasic etc. are going to have to just wait for their chance, suggesting that injuries to other players might possibly be the only in for them now. Sounds like he's also conceded that Morgan will need to do the same (he didn't travel to Dubai because of 'family issues' apparently).

Unprecedented and thats Everton is our season thus far, its only recently we actually look like a team.

He's hinting at an organisational clear out there. Hopefully it includes him.

No mention of the Holgate affair either. Well done Everton. Another stage managed bit of BS. You can be sure Klopp will be making hay over that issue, but our club STFU about it.

He won’t.

Because it suits his own agenda and he can say that he saved us, even though we are already safe.

Bed.

What grounds has Moshiri got to sack him in the summer? Something bad has to happen for us to just boot him. He's achieving what he was asked to do.
