The rest of the country are increasingly looking at our support howling Allardyce down then looking at our table position and scratching their heads and wondering WTF we expect out of his tenure here.
This brings me to the point: the whole line of attack on Allardyce should have been to acknowledge he's done the job he was brought in to do the only way he knows how, but to underline that to get where we want to go to (and presumably where the owner wants to go to, given his statements since he arrived) the negative football SA serves up cant take us there.
Just simply calling the feller out for being stylistically uncouth leaves the matter open as a subjective debate. It's the OBJECTIVE reality that the rate he can pile points up at will never get us top 6 that had to be hammered home. Basically we've seen a reasonable and constructive argument to get the feller out replaced by spite and insult.
