I think your mistaking fans with realists,so many on here were in dreamland when Koeman was sacked.Tuchel (now allegedly going to take over at Bayern Munich next season) and the biggest laugh of all Simeone.Obviously Allardyce would not have been near the top ten of managers the fanbase would have wanted,but guess what!He was the only one interested in the job who had any Premier League experience.So unless you think just anybody with a foreign exotic name who knew how many players should be on the pitch to play a match should have been signed up,then really there was no choice.
