Allardyce

I’m not sure he was realistically expected to keep them up. More out of hope than expectation perhaps. You can’t tangibly improve a team in a few days by much.

Not a nice guy.
We had season tickets sitting next to his cousin. His opinion was - he's very unpopular within his family due to his arrogance & greed.
 
Spoke to Big Sam at Club Tangerine at a supporters meeting, remember them? at the bar just after he took over. He had been to watch a Spurs reserve game. He then had a pop on our Wembley support and I disliked him after that.

His rescue time gets shorter and shorter, this time 4 games. We'll get to the stage where he'll be brought in at half time on the last game the way its going.

If that's the only way we'll ever be shut of him, who's to say it won't actually come to that?
 
Love or hate him, you can't argue with his record, 80% of the time he gets the job done, whether that be survival or promotion. Shame we were in that 20%!

I certainly wouldn't argue with his record. It's undoubtedly a pile of steaming averageness.

1991-1992: Limerick. First stint in management as player manager of the Irish club.
1992: Preston North End. Youth-team coach and a brief stint as caretaker manager.
1994-1996: Blackpool. First managerial role in England but sacked after failing to achieve promotion.
1997-1999: Notts County. Led them to the Third Division (now League Two) title in 1997-98.
1999-2007: Bolton Wanderers. Won promotion to the Premier League in 2001 and led them to a League Cup final and Uefa Cup qualification.
2007-2008: Newcastle. Left after just eight months in charge following a disappointing run of results.
2008-2010: Blackburn. Guided club to Premier League safety in his first season before he was sacked in December 2010 with Rovers 13th.
2011-2015: West Ham. Led Hammers to promotion to Premier League in 2012 but left three years later following criticism of his playing style.
2015-2016: Sunderland. Appointed in October and guided the Black Cats to Premier League safety.
2016: England. Appointed Three Lions boss but left by mutual consent after one match and 67 days in charge following a newspaper investigation claiming he offered advice on how to "get around" rules on player transfers.
2016-17: Crystal Palace. Appointed in December 2016 and led the Eagles to Premier League safety.
2017-18: Everton. Finished eighth with the Toffees after joining in November 2017 but left in May the following year.
2020-21: West Brom. Took over from Slaven Bilic with the club 19th in the table but was unable to avoid relegation.

So saving all those clubs from relegation and those promotions is average?
In fact finishing eighth with Everton makes him a bloody miracle worker.
You've proved my point not disproved it.

Bang average for someone who judges himself on a par with Gardiola and Klopp.

He's nowhere near. Can't be mentioned in the same sentence.

Average.

Done wonders for Leeds eh?

Waste of hot air.
 
I remember when I was a kid when we played football and we all used to line up, and two captains used to pick the teams. I wasn't the worst kid and although I always thought I was really good at football I was never the first pick. That reminds me of Fat Sam if he was really the best then he
would have managed the biggest clubs.
