Fat Sam

Its too late for them, but he is a top manager for the right club, which was Everton once but we messed up.

 

[Neiler]

Times saying he will be confirmed later today.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Not sure they have the players for Sam-Ball

 

[Evertonthat]

Their run in is really tough. I dont think, even playing Sam's tactics that they get a win in the last 4 games.

Was chatting to a mate yesterday about what a crap appointment Gracia was. At least with Marsch there was the idea of him being young, progressive. He'd managed in the UCL etc. What is Gracia meant to be? Why wouldn't you have hired Allardyce then?

 

[McCall2Radzinski]

The psychology is weird. I've gone through all the stages of grief and accepted we're going down.

Then I look at the table and despite that fact we're starting last in the relation group I think, "We can get out of this, maybe."

Then finding out Leeds has hired Allardyce, presumably out of desperation, I think, "We might even be one of the two favourites to get out."

Far out!

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Could be an attempt to out-draw us to safety. Which is weird as they have spent the last few years being gung-ho and fluid. Not really any clue whether this is a good or bad thing.

His last appointment at West Bromwich was a complete disaster.

First 4 games was an aggregate score of 17-0 or something against

 

[maccavennie]

Leeds have never been able to defend...
They got by on scoring more goals against teams...
Fat Sam will be asking a team to play to their biggest weakness....doesn't make sense

Yep that would be my thought process, they don't look like a side who can defend.

The gravy slurping slug would love to send us down though. We've missed great opportunities against Palace, Leicester and Fulham to get ourselves out of it and haven't took one of those opportunities so it's our own fault

 

[Toffe3m4n]

He's being brought in to tighten them up for the last 4 games. Whether it'll work or not is a massive if.

 

[RomanReigns]

im not sure even sam can save them from a city mauling

 

[dutchblue54]

i am not so confident we should not worry. We ARE reliant on other teams not winning as we struggle to win ourselves. If Big Sam digs out even 1 win from nowhere we will struggle to catch them. And if their weakness is defending he will drill them.

 

[Moomin]

Desperate roll of the dice.

 

[windymiller]

With Leeds squad, I don't see what Allardyce offers. Particularly with City and the barcodes as his first two matches.

 

[slipstream86]

The depths this club has fallen to when the appointment of Sam Allardyce to a rival team strikes fear into our fan base.
