There's no one more than me who wants shut of this dinosaur. However, I'm not going to deny what looks to be the reality of where we stand in terms of Allardyce's relationship with the decision makers at the club. I honestly think he's viewed sympathetically by Moshiri, who's only concern is the anger of fans who believe the style of football is something that has to change and fast. He knows f.a. about football, of course, so such protestations - though a fly in the ointment - mean nothing significant to him unless it's having a serious impact on ticket sales...which it wont.
