I didnt really mind Sam either, he was a means, he did very well in his limited time and I still maintain hes the only recent manager who should feel hard done by for getting "the sack".Some people compared him to Sam but for me one particular thing stands out . when allardyce was appointed I was actually ok with it as unlike many I thought we were in trouble . I’d never understood why Sam was so hated by fans of pretty much every club he’d been at but after his arrival I got it fairly quickly. Not saying he didn’t do ok , because he did but he’s extremely unlikeable . I ran into a Burnley fan the other day and like the vast majority of them he absolutely loves Dyche him and wish him nothing but success and after one game i’m starting to get why .
it’s definitely a contrast .
But I think he knew it was only short term here and he knew we were never gonna take to him, so he bought into it more.
But yeah, they do seem like vastly different people and I thought we played some decent football yesterday, it wasnt all just long ball garbo.
