No one can say with conviction whether or not we would have been relegated. We were not in a good place under Unsworth but Unsworth had no experience of management at top level and it showed. No doubt we needed someone...the plan was Silva but Watford wouldn't play so things got desparate and up turns Allardyce. I believe regardless of who we brought in to manage they would have got us out of the mess as long as they had more experience than Unsworth and that is basically everyone.

So my take is that with Unsworth still at the helm then a great possibility of going down. Any other manager would have given us a great chance of staying up so nothing special on Allardyces part IMO.
 
If only i had a crystal ball, how on earth would we know? What i do know is we were very very poor and struggling to see where the next win was coming from.
 
We had 15 points from 14 games before BFS arrived, even with the tough opening fixtures to the season. Even if we had continued with our abysmal form from before BFS arrival the likelihood is we would be on or around 30 points after 28 games and on the assumption we were averaging a point a game we would have still finished circa 38 points without any improvement whatsoever!! Looking at the current points total for the bottom 3 teams they would all snap your arm off to reach 38 points...........so no we would not have gone down without BFS.

We literally won the last game we played before he was appointed. And the home league game before that. Our next game was at home to a team who had lost their last 7 away games by an aggregate score of 17-0. So personally, I think you'd have to be severely visually impaired if you couldn't see where the next win was coming from.

I was talking from when koeman was sacked. You do love to throw a childish little jibe at the end of your posts don't you, kind of bored of telling you to grow up if i'm honest.
 
I would suggest the question should be "would we have gone down with Unsworth?"
IMHO any new manager would have seen a bounce when they came in and the number of home wins required was not a big number - any competent manager could achieve. however if we had stuck with Unsy to seasons end we would not have had that new manager bounce and potentially be involved in a relegation struggle but only in the same way clubs like WHU were... at worst. There is too much dross in the league this year for us to go down.

Bit bored of it myself to be honest mate so why don't you do us both a favour and stop it? It's a light hearted forum in general, I was going for a bit of a play on words. I'm not having a go at you it's just my style of posting, if you don't like it mute me, I won't be offended.

On topic, NO.
