Sam Allardyce

[Darth Toffeeman]

Not just The Pit.

Sky showed his record against last season's top six and it is quite appalling.

That said, apart from a few seasons with Bolton, he has always been playing against those teams with a pretty poor tram of his own so I suppose it is not surprising he has struggled.

I'm glad we got shut of that disaster Koeman, he was poison for Everton.

But this is like having the cup of poison taken away and then being served up a cup of steaming hot piss.

Apologies for the imagery, but you get what I mean.

Yep. It won't kill you but it's hard to swallow.

World Cup draw has overshadowed Big Sam's appointment !

If only the law worked that way.Here's an idea,you take out a half page in the Echo saying he's taken bungs,wait a week or so and see what happens.

I have no idea what your argument is or who you're arguing with. I know how the law works, read my last few posts.

You seem to be in some weird denial of everything that can't be proven, to the extent that you said cash payments are hard to hide therefore it doesn't happen. Illegal payments and money laundering is literally one of the planets biggest 'businesses'.

Once again, there is no proof and nobody has said they have any. I don't have proof the moon is cold but there's a decent chance it is.

Is that really so hard to understand???

So your saying you don’t want him cos he might be corrupt?

All I can say is, thank God they abolished hanging.

No mate, it is utterly impossible to hide cash payments over a period of years, that is why the world has seen an end to corruption and such things like that, all the people guilty of those actions have long been found and incarcerated

Football managers, members of the house of parliament, the trading floor and stockbroker exchange, and every last business deal these days are all completely clean and above board.

Meanwhile only 24 days till Santa visits your house pulled on his slad by a Reindeer with a nose that glows in the night. Hope you sent your list in to him mate, he is completely real

Of course Santa is real

And I will fight anyone says he ain't

Can't be arsed. Read back , stated my view many times on this.

 

[Barnfred 55]

I imagined that being said in the voice of Bernard Manning. Not sure why.

No mate. Makes both our lives a misery. Not funny at all.

 

[toffeeblue9]

Nobody wanted him ideally

The thing I've been thinking about a bit more though gives me a glimmer of hope that it might work (at least in the short term), Koeman got rid of every player he considered "tippy tappy" and filled the squad with runners and workers, then woefully mismanaged them

Allardyce would probably suit this squad of players (albeit with a few additions required) far more than he would have suited taking over the squad Martinez left

You would also hope that he might be able to work more effectively with Walsh than Koeman was able to

They're fairly slender straws to try to cling on to, but worth mentioning all the same

Not hard to understand but the analogy doesn't make sense.

You might not personally have proof that the moon is cold... but an amazing amount of proof exists. If the same information existed RE Sam's dealings it would be very well documented.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

He's got the best squad he's ever had to work with in a "Relegation" battle, comes in and we are in 13th, could easily got 9th or 10th if we beat Huddersfield.

All he needs to do is build the players back up again, Koeman was not the type to put an arm round a player, Allardyce is and that's exactly what a few need, they players will play for him.

...most telling statement of Moshiri’s interview was; “he will give us a platform to build on”.

 

[gianthogweed]

18 month contract is not really that long considering most of us have had a lifetime of misery supporting this club
i don't like the fella but can he be any worse than what has gone before otherwise he wouldn't be here
if he makes us hard to beat that will do in the meantime, lets not delude ourselves it is what it is
