Sacking Allardyce would be a big mistake
|
|
With the disappointing loss on Satirday, the calls to sack Allardyce are already mounting judging by today's papers and the talk on this forum.
I'm not afraid to stick my neck and say sacking him would be a mistake.
(And this is not some chum-throwing exercise into the waters of WHO to see what surfaces)
What would the sack achieve? The hope would be to get a manager who plays attractive football and guarantees safety.
But I don't see anyone who could do that.
In fact, the only replacement as near as they come to guaranteeing safety is, oh the irony, Tony Pullis.
Let's be clear: the time to sack Allardyce was before the season started, not now with the transfer window closing and the squad set up to play his system.
Our main objective has to be safety, so I'm willing to stomach one more season.
Dumping Allardyce, a man who virtually guarantees top flight football, would be a huge gamble for a club still in a precarious financial position.
Let's get this season out the way as safely as possible whereupon Allardyce's contract expires.
Then we can enter the Olympic stadium with a new manager and let a new dawn of exciting football begin.

Bizarre !

If I want attention I stand on my balcony and do naked star jumps.
Actually, I do that when I don't want attention too.

Utter drivel and appeasement. We've had three years of this.

I do not agree it would be a mistake to sack him but i do agree that it is too early to do so i would give him till the middle of the season and although i dislike his footballing style and his character through and through i feel that he has done a job of enough decency keeping us up for three seasons that we should give him that amount of time at least.

Camel.
Firstly, BFS certainly does not guarantee Premiership football. We were v lucky last season and it really was squeaky bum time come Feb.
Secondly, we allow BFS to go through until his contract expires and we still have one last season prior to going to our new stadium.It seems by your tome that you have overlooked this little fact.
Finally, the vast majority of our supporters despise SAMs tactics, his team selections, his arrogance and his insistence on picking players that should not be in this division.For these last reason alone he should go and I predict he will be gone by the end of September. If this happens we will survive very nicely and when we do play at the Olympic Stadium we will be a top ten side.

Sam doesn't guarantee survival, he is an outdated manager and has been found out. The game has moved on and he hasn't.

Another weak minded person (no offence) who believes the myths built up by Allardyce and his cronies, when the evidence is staring them in the face.
It's got to the stage now where people defending Allardyce have lost all grip on reality. It does happen, and the best advice I can give is take a step back and bear in mind you're agreeing with Dapablo. If that doesn't straighten you out, you're a lost cause.
Even KIA has faked a WHOicide because he couldn't bring himself to face reality and hold his hands up.

Key point: time for change was pre-season.
But if you lot want to gamble with our future now, so be it.

What peroni said.
On another note, are we still in a financially 'precarious' position? Last season we pulled in 70 million in TV money alone and we'll do so again this season. The increased TV money must be putting a serious dent into our debts. If it isnt , where the fuck is it going?

Haha, possibly Fraser!
I would like to know what the debt now is. Last season and this season must surely have brought it down by quite some way.

BFS won't be sacked unless we keep getting beat and are bottom for a month or two. I'm just getting fed up with it tbh....

But I don't see anyone who could do that.
You can't think of a manager who would in all probability do a better job than our cunt of a manager?
Fucking stroll on.

At the end of last season it was clear we needed a class striker and another centre half.
We have started the season with none, like this country at the moment we lack good management, i find it hard how our owners made it rich and how much Sam is being paid.
Not sure they are worthy of being sacked as the owners have ploughed good money in and Sam has achieved what the owners wanted.

Why would sacking Sam mean a gamble with our future?
