The biggest issue with the Allardyce appointment is in relation to where go after him.

Say he stabilises the club (the defence in particular) and we get to next summer or whenever and it's agreed he moves on.

Do we stay with that type of manager? A Dyche?

Or are we going to return to a more technical, possession based manager? If so, Moshiri has to then back him unlike he did Martinez.

Or say - and I can scarcely believe I'm actually saying this myself - he actually galvanises the team, with more quality players, and takes us to the next level? If I suspend my own disbelief for a second, I have to say to be fair that BFS has not to my recollection been given the quality and spending power he now has. He's mostly worked with basket cases and has come close to actually getting a sparkle from the turd on a few occasions. The management team we now have in is the one that was chosen to manage the England team 18 months ago. Now I know that might not be the most fashionable thing to say, but they were perceived to be the best available.

I see what they've done in setting an 18 month contract, but there is an interesting 'what if' scenario...

The bottom few are average Premier League full backs. Baines is definitely not that anymore, no matter how good he was in the past. The poor guy CANNOT move.

As for Davies and Alonso, you mustn't watch any football at all if you think Baines is better than them.

Ahhh the old "my opinion or you're stupid / have an inferior knowledge base" notion Michael.
You're far better than that nonsense so lets just agree to disagree.

But Alonso and Davies are first teamers for Champions League clubs aren't they mate? Do you think they'd have 33 year old Leighton Baines instead if offered?

Lets say hypothetically that Big Sam finds a way to beat the RS on Sunday... Will people be all aboard the Sam Train?

mate, Big Sam could have us playing like Brazil, Rooney could score the winner with another 60 screamer and after the game Moshiri could publically kicks Kenwright outta Liverpool in a Game of Thrones style "Shaming" before unveiling the plans for our new 80,000 seater floating stadium tattooed on his back and some would still moan. We aren't truly happy unless we're unhappy.

Hahaha I can understand that. I am a Detroit Sports fan as well and it seems we are always unhappy too.
