Might sound unkind, but I hope WBA don’t win another game for the entire season, and Fathead Sam takes them, himself, and his backroom dinosaurs hurtling back into the Championship!
Only then, might other clubs in similar relegation battles stop this grotesque practice of replacing hard working managers with limited resources, whom attempt to instil good footballing ethics to the players they have to work with.
How on earth can any fanbase worth its salt be impressed by the Row Z tactics of Fathead Sam.!
Bolton, Newcastle, Blackburn, West Ham, Sunderland, Crystal Palace, Everton or in other words, every team he’s managed in the PL. Newcastle the only maybe but he was only there for 8 months from May 2007 and they were relegated in the season following the one when he left (in January 2008 with Newcastle in 11th).
Whatever people say about Allardyce (and there’s a lot to be said) he’s a very effective manager. He was also totally shafted as England manager.
The lower half of the Premier League is described as a Gravy Train, and I’m sure Sam keeps taking these jobs in the forlorn hope that one day that will prove literally true.
Come in, organize them into two banks of four or more, hit a long ball, maybe get something on the break, become tougher to beat, make a lot of money for such modest fare.
I’m not sure if I’m talking about Allardyce or Mourinho now!
