let's hope it doesn't come to that, Khal.
Out of interest who do you want for the job?
Good question, Doc.
I am not one of these fellows who keeps an eye on up and coming managers or even established managers in foreign leagues.
Everyone keeps mentioning Tuchel but I know little or nowt about him.
But of those managers I do know off, both home and abroad, I am a great admirer of Simeone’s work at Atletico Madrid and I reckon he might be worth approaching.
But one thing I do know.
Allardyce being appointed would be the death knell for this club’s historic standing in this country.
Although we have won nowt in donkey’s years, we are still relevant and respected through our sheer longevity in the top flight.
Appointing Allardyce will be the start of a slippery slope which will start with us finally becoming a club like Baggies, Barcodes, Stoke, Saints etc. and move on by replicating the yo yo existence these clubs experience up and down the divisions for the rest of my lifetime.
And beyond an Allardyce appointment, because he will be fired after 15 months or so, what bottom feeders will be up for the job next time?
We will be well on the Pardew, Coleman, Pulis circuit at that stage
I have an awful dread hanging over me now, Doc
