Sam Allardyce

I think we need a period free of negativity now.

On here? Ok good luck with that

Anyone else see this idiot last night at the match? Pathetic Kopite like behaviour. Is this what we've come to as a fan base FFS?!

IMHO.
SA will stabilize the ship, tighten up the defense, and we will avoid relegation.

SA will NOT dazzle the fans with exciting attacking football, or win us a trophy.

In conclusion, a conservative and 'short-term' fix.

The thing is deep down the RS are worried they have a bad record against fat sams teams.

No mate.
They fully expect to hammer us in two weeks..
And rightly so.

Not even that mate; I think he is being deliberately left out. He's essentially been shuffled out, a minority shareholder much like any Blue with their one share.

Moshiri arriving in the same car as Allardyce and Walsh last night was the end for Kenwright. He's done.

Possibly so and undoubtedly for the best if we are to progress to where we wish to be. However i think Bill will still be there as a kind of figurehead , boring new directors shoiteless about how he rode on his uncles handbars to the game....

What you expect and what you get are two completely different things mate. Expect the unexpected, let’s just hope rooney has them magic shooting boots on from last night.

Bill has been marginalised.

Good will to all men I say.

He's a bent fat gravy drinking backwards thinking manager.

But he's our bent fat gravy drinking backwards thinking manager.

Up Everton.

Ambition... On a year and a half contract.


Hmm sure mate, I have a feeling the £9m helped a bit.

Looks like she was up all night making that....

This made me lose a little bit of wee in excitement.....

It's the beginning of advent. And we need something stable etc etc. But It's a shame I think we've hired a donkey.

David,

we are five points clear of the drop zone

Our defence is a shambles that has conceded 20 goals in the eight games since Koeman got sacked.

We beat a team that happened to be one of the three below us. It was a good display but there were clear areas where improvement was needed - and drastic improvement at that.

The manager search was ridiculous. We could have had Sam 4 weeks ago but instead went for targets that simply weren't feasible. We could have got Dyche thanks to his buyout clause and I'm convinced that 4/5 weeks ago he'd have happily joined us. Now we weren't worth the gamble to him. But he'd have been the perfect manager to fix our short and long-term issues.

Instead, it's Sam.

The target is still 40 points. We need another nine wins (simplifying it, obviously) to get that.

We are three points from 9th with four teams ahead of us with worse last 5 PL match form than us and they're there to be taken down immediately; we have a team with its tail up; we have a raft of players to come back from long term injury; we have a January window coming up.

You are having a laugh if you think we are in a bad place and need desperate measures and our objective is to merely bump along above the relegation zone.

Sorry my friend, that is just not going to fly.

Good luck to him. I mean that btw.. I want him to get in here and get us top half and keep us there. That's what the manager's job entails at this club MINUMUM. But if he falls short of that it's failure and he has to be fired at the end of the season.

He has a fair wind at his back here. If he is any sort of decent manager at all he'll get us into the top ten. If not, Adios.

Just on this, Dave I have say I was getting concerned.

Like you I’ve seen us win the lot and also stay up on the last day.

These last weeks we’ve deffo looked more like the 94/98 teams than anything else.

Obvious that you don’t want the fella and that’s fair enough, you’re not alone - but here he is, we simply have to get on with it for now at least.
