Sam Allardyce

[Bilbo]

That was the shortest conference I think I have ever seen...

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

Fingers crossed.
He seemed relatively optimistic about his future there though which worries me!

He can't say he won't be here next season. He wants that big fat juicy payoff and to get that he needs to make out like he ain't leaving.

The fans at home have been very good hahaha. Just you wait, you arrogant sod.

I’d be happy if my boss told me your getting 18 months pay for 6 months work.

He’s an abomination and a parasite.

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

To be fair I don't think if the Echo splashed "Allardyce Out" on the back page every day from now until the end of the season he'd be arsed.

Sky Sports though... he wants to be welcomed back into the cushy studio appearances (MNF, MOTD, Talksport etc) once he's gone from here though. He knows being sacked damages his brand so he wants to leave on his own terms.

absolutely. It was him on there giving his 7 steps to survival BS that got him this job in the first place.

Incredible isn’t it.

He certainly has parasitic tendencies !

He's not going to say "I'm off in May" in a March press conference though. Moshiri will have probably said something to the effect of "things need to improve if you want to carry on" and let's be honest, they're not going to.

Even if things did improve wildly now I think it's too late. He's blown his chance. He's shown what the future would hold. Anti-football, arrogant press conferences and publicly criticising young players.

This bad run is good in the long term. We won't get lumbered with this con-man after a bounce which was a very real prospect before January.

I can’t believe we fell for it!

Sounds more like he knows he's in for it on Saturday so he's trying to sweeten the fans up and flattering them

 

[Saint Domingo]

At least there were a few difficult questions for a change rather than the usual guff at these press conferences.

 

[evertonarntwe]

can anybody who watched it give us a breakdown of what the fat waster said?

 

[everton1953]

He is still avoiding all responsibility, I notice - blaming "the players" for not playing up to the standard.. His feeble back-tracking shows that even the most thick-skinned manager is affected when the whole fanbase is against you. I think most of us know what the content of his "confidential" talks with Moshiri will be about and that is the size of his compo when he gets sacked.
He is feeling the heat but we fans have barely started yet: tick tock...

Brilliant, well said!!

That and the snake oil pitch he did with Keys and Gray after the Leicester defeat. Everyone feared the worst after the Southampton game and we'd spent six weeks trying to get other targets like Silva and Fonseca.

Carragher is a flute but he was right on Monday night. Sam Allardyce is our Roy Hodgeson. A mistake appointment that nobody really wanted anyway. Soon to be a footnote in the club's history.
