Sam Allardyce

[Toffeelover]

How much to sack Allardyce and backroom staff? Surely more than £8m.

Will they take instalments?

Assuming they are all on same length contracts as BFS, then wouldn't imagine it'd be an absolutely massive amount, manager pay is the only one of the staff which kind of has followed the player salary hikes

I struggle to disagree but I cannot see Sam here past the end of the season.

I can as he'll be tasked to slap the squad in shape, cut it down, bring in players and balance to the side.

I don't think changing managers is the right way to go in our state.

We've a midtable squad and will be for another season not matter who's in charge IMO

Funnily enough - financially paying off Allardyce now and hiring Silva will work out cheaper than if Watford had taken the compensation offer from us initially...

I think Walsh is dead man walking if he doesn't sort a good left back/defence out anyway mate

Since Walsh has been around we haven't had a new player come in and do well, either he isn't recruiting the right character of players, or there is some other reason with the club that isn't allowing them to shine, he needs to solve it either way.
I think we need a clear out from the boardroom downward, the direction the club is going on and off the pitch seems to hit and miss, as others have said we need a Dein like appointment to lead from the top..
Walsh by any yardstick has been a failure on the player recruitment side.

You'd imagine Allardyce coaches players to misplace simple passes to unmarked players,not to track runners and how to lose control of the ball while totally clear of opposition players.Or is it just down to natural ability.

This is the problem now- no matter who follows next and when, he'll have two mantras;

1. Look at the mess I inherited.
2. I can't do anything without big investment.

It's a vicious circle.

There must be managers that can get a better tune out of this lot but I don't think to any huge degree - the squad is rancid and with absolutely no guts.

 

[davek]

That my argument for why I think Sam will/should finish his contract.

Personally believe we'll have a solid structure and balance which would allow another manager in and transition better.

I dont get your stance on this. I accept it, but for someone who has previously talked a lot of sense on football matters it amazes me that you back this football Visigoth.

This season has been such a farce we should go the whole hog and terminate Sam’s contract and employ Silva.

4 managers in one season must be a record.

Sack Walsh, make big Sam DoF and get silva in as manager. Everyone's a winner.

Pickford has done well, the only one.

It's down to him being a regressive manager who can't do anything more than rescue a side from relegation.

Look at the imagination and flair top sides play with. Granted, there's natural ability but it's also down to the impact of the coach. That's why Liverpool and City play a completely different style to United and it's also why under Allardyce we will never achieve anything.

I hope the door does hit FS, and Shakespeare and the weasel Lee on their way out

Be another Everton first

Why can't we have nice things.

I’d pay it’s myself if it meant binning the fat fraud
