Guest totemowl Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Do people actually believe we'd get Allardyce in? Of course they do. He's said he doesn't want to be manager anywhere at beginning of next season. He'll want a sky high premier league standard contract. He'll bring with him a committee that will dwarf and replace our current one, who will want sky high premier league contracts. He'll alienate the clubs fans with turgid football, cos that's what he always does. At 60 years old, he's the young manager that so many want. He might get us promoted, cos after all he did it 3 years ago with a club who'd been relegated and had plenty of million pound players in a premier league infrastructure. There's plenty to believe in, if tha gullible enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You summed it up perfectly there mate. 1) He doesn't have the track record some seem to think at getting teams promoted. 2) A couple of years back it was in the media that he was the 13th highest paid manager in European football. £50,000 a week. We wont pay anywhere close to that, and would be absolutely stupid to consider it. 3) As the above poster says, he would want a full backroom staff of his one people who would want similarly high wages which we need to invest in our squad wages. 3) He wouldn't come here anyway. In his eyes he can do much better, and as things stand right now, he is probably right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest conisbrough Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Allardyce plays football in a style which stops other teams playing it is effective and will keep you in Premiership and high position in Championship but you will not progress and challenge top teams. at West ham they have brought in some good players and added flair but underlying formation is the way Sam has played for 20 years. If succession planning is the aim of the club this is not way to go as Allardyce recruits players to play in certain role. Any replacement manager is certain to have different style and this requires huge expenditure to recruit new players. Allardyce core players will not be highly sort after by other clubs hence cost of replacing him will be astronomic. When he leaves a club they usually struggle due to the problem outlined above. This is exactly the opposite to what Chansiri has suggested he is trying to do, with a committee approach trying to ensure a clubs success is not reliant on one person.

Ronnie Starling Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Big Sam is a good manager. He gets results although the football may not always be pretty. Look at the teams he has left and the turmoil they are in. I bet Bolton, Blackburn, Newcastle and the likes of QPR and Hull would have quite happily settled for mid table mediocrity.

shandypants Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 listening to Greys talk with Staton today, it seemed almost like an interview.... The fact 2/3rds of this committee has been chosen without consulting him, and by the sounds of it they've not even spoken to him yet, I can very well see another manager being in charge at the start of next season. I doubt that'll be Allardyce, but there's plenty worse options if it is.... Is that opposed to it actually being an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Not what we need then given what we are challenging for? True, but do you seriously think there is even a chance we will be appointing a man that was the 9th highest paid manager in world football recently?

Sefton owl Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Didn't he start at West Ham when they were in th championship? You could say from this that it's plausible he could be linked with us. That team he took on was an absolute far cry from the team we have, so the closes he will be coming is on his way back up the M1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 And all for a manager that has won nothing in his managerial career. Not one single major trophy. Is that a joke. Twice championship playoffs winners. Once second division winner. Runner up in the league cup. 3 premiership managers of the month awards. I'd say he has won a fair bit Let's look at Mr Gray, oh wait a minute nothing,zilch,zero,not even a Christmas hamper. Tough tough choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough tough choice. In other words he's won lots of runner up awards, no major trophies and one second division championship with a team who'd been relegated and were probably valued in excess of £20m. One trophy win. Unwanted by the club he just left and their fans. Bigger entourage than Kim Kardashian. Taking the summer off. Nah, not a tough choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 In fairness to him he has always managed the lesser teams in the premiership and done a good job,when you look at who he has managed he was never going to win the premiership was he.
