Is Sam that bad?

If Allardyce stays on and we somehow miraculously get into Europe next season he will probably throw the European campaign away with a stupid excuse like "We need to focus on the Premier League, europe is too much for this squad to handle"

He has no connection with the fans and does the opposite to what we want to piss us off.

We'll find that out soon enough. The test for me will be Watford and Burnley away. We know he'll throw the home games against the RS and Citeh, that's a given, we'll get battered, but how will he line up against Watford and Burnley away? My bet is that he'll set up as he did in the away loss to Bournemouth and the away draw at West Bromwich. He should set up as he did at home against Leicester and Palace but he won't and will be looking at a 0-0 whilst hoping to nick a 1-0.
We will never achieve anything (except, maybe, your beloved 7th place trophy) with this coward in charge.

Knew it

Fancy Dan from abroad over the proven Premier league manager, we need stability and to get things sorted on and off the pitch, bringing in some flash on the pan from abroad could see us dragged back into a relegation battle

It's funny how loads throw in the dig at Allardyce that he's never proven himself at a top club and things like that and yet want to bring someone in like Fonseca. I don't know much about him at all so not going to try and pretend I do but here are the list of clubs he has managed:

1º de Dezembro, Odivelas, Pinhalnovense, Aves, Paços de Ferreira, Porto, Braga, Shakhtar Donetsk

The only big club there worth mentioning is Porto and it sounds like he took them backwards, and made promises he couldn't keep:

"Fonseca succeeded Vítor Pereira at the helm of back-to-back-to-back national champions FC Porto, signing a two-year contract on 10 June 2013. He started his spell on a high note, winning the year's Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira after a 3–0 triumph against Vitória de Guimarães.

However, on 5 March 2014, following a string of poor results that left the club in the third position in the league, nine points behind leaders S.L. Benfica, he was relieved of his duties. Previously, on 12 January, he had stated that Porto would be champions in the last matchday against Benfica."

Don't understand the clamour to bring in an unproven name (at a genuine big club) who failed in his test at a big European Club to come in just because he sounds like a more fashionable name than 'Big Sam.'
