Poll: Sam Allardyce - yes or no?

[Stanley Parker]

No, nay, never!

 

[matty1878]

Shoudnt even be a poll.

 

[Groucho]

Still no

 

[Yorkie]

Yes. He once drank a pint of gravy or something, and has a 100% record for England. People's champion for wools everywhere.

In the last few days various media outlets and football analysts (including Crystal Palace's impressive chairman Simon Jordan) have linked us with a move for former Newcastle and England boss Sam Allardyce.

I think he'd be a good candidate. He took over at Bolton when they were Football League also-fans and he turned them into European contenders - on a shoestring budget. And he kept Sunderland up against the odds. He's also one of the most forward thinking managers in the country; he was one of the first to utilise sports science to get the best out of players.

Would be interesting to gauge what the people of this forum think.

Think you can guess which way my vote went

Just WHY WHY WHY...have people lost their tiny minds !!!

 

[Timak]

No, obviously not.

Managers play in a certain style. Look at how they get their teams playing, the types of player we have available to us and pick accordingly.

Unfortunately the squad we have has ruled out a lot of candidates.

 

[ijjysmith]

Hate some of our fans I really do.

Bin this thread off ffs

We'll be begging for him come February.

 

[Death]

No, nay, never!

Shall we play Blackburn Rovers, no never, next season.

If David Unsworth is not going to get the job and the first choice may not be available because he is already in employment then Allyrdyce could be considered as a stop gap manager to get the club safely through the season.

It all comes back to which manager is first choice .
