Sam Allardyce

[Yarrgh]

Watching the press conference now. He has terrible body language and looks like he is feeling the stress of it all.

I know I'm hardly shy about calling him all the names under the sun, but give him his wedge and send him on his way because he's done. It'd be a kindness to all involved.

Im sure these comments have been discussed, but interesting that he says we were 17th when he came in, which he probably means BEFORE the West Ham game, when we were 16th.

Managers points per game this season (league only)

Usworth - 1.4 (Overall record - 1.66)
Allardyce - 1.35
Koeman - 0.88 (Overall record - 1.46)

Martinez - 1.44
Moyes - 1.5

Moysie keeping it tight at the back and trying to pinch one. Classic Moyes.

Even the way he handled the questionnaire issue revealed his overly defensive and venal nature.
He could have simply pointed out it had become a standard procedure at the club since the previous year and had no specific relevance to him (something most of the journalists undoubtedly were aware of but many have studiously chosen to ignore.) He could have added the board were also being rated.
If he possessed an actual sense of humour he could have made a quip such as ,he was sure he'd get 100% rating but he wasn't so sure about the board. Cue sycophantic journalists tittering and commenting what a wag arl Sam is. Job done situation diffused.
Instead he targets an innocent club official who is merely guilty of sending out a questionnaire similar to the one he issued the previous year without any repercussions.
Pathetic man.

Can't watch the press conferences or any interviews an absolute stain on our club and total mismanagement by Moshiri and kenwright

It could have gone worse but not by much. I face 3 Reds, 2 Man U and an Arsenal fan in the alehouse tomorrow night. The subject is bound to come up. Roll on the season end. But who will we get when Sam goes? A few weeks ago I fancied Conte when he gets sacked for coming 5th. No chance.

 

[COYBL25]

It looks like the players and the owner are behind him. Hard to see how he gets sacked before next season now.

It's took a good few days for that apology though. Maybe counter spin after, the all the stuff flying around about the survey and all the emails flying into Rogers in box

Pop the champagne.

I'll be delighted when BFS is shown the door after the West Ham game but I expect to be right back here within the next two or three seasons with a newest "emergency manager" seeing out the season following the latest managers sacking and taking all the blame for the overwhelming lack of ambition at the club. Oh I expect this patsy will be far less hated then Sam (that's not gonna be hard to achieve) and might even get a decent send off but the result will be the same. He'll be made into the scapegoat and be the lightening rod of the fans wrath while the true culprits will snigger at said fans for not seeing the cycle repeated yet again.

 

[everton1953]

If Moshiri is any good at all he will wield the axe. If not then we are in for a rough ride. Take the money Sam.

 

[technojoe]

No.

To which bit?

"The timing was not great. "

So he knows he's not performing

 

[Thomasc]

Club apologises to him.

what an absolute cluster**** of a season all around
