i don't mind him tbh
reading between the lines i don;t think he sucks up to allardyce like a lot of old skool journos and he was always a 'brown out' merchant under the surface
fickle old game
i've always wanted allardyce out by xmas time, 90% would have kept him

Re: Sam Allardyce is yesterday's man... MARTIN SAMUEL
is this the same fella from earlier in the season ?
West Ham fans rightly asked to see better football at Upton Park... and they got it
A year ago, West Ham played lousy football and lost a lot of games
The supporters were unhappy with Sam Allardyce's style of play
Many criticised the fans who booed, but tickets are not cheap
It has now changed; with better football came an improved league position
West Ham are now fourth in the Premier League with five wins from nine

isn't that just a statement of fact from that snapshot of time? no mention of him being the messiah long term?

Martin Samuel is one of the only football journos I actually like and generally find his articles interesting. Hasn't he won most of the sports journalism awards in the last few years?
Of course though it is nonsense... you just have to laugh.

This article is spot on, Sam has achieved what he was brought into do, he should be congratulated on meeting his targets, but as pointed out, he has failed to step up a level.

Eactly why i dont want Benitez, we need a manager who can extract everything and more from a set of players, therefore no1 target is Eddie Howe

lazy article imo, benitez klopp etc all know that increased wage bill is the only way to improve a club's league standing, see the stats in the thread the other day, only saints are overachieving.
they're gonna ask for money that g&s haven't got and walk away.

The point being made here, and the point that should be driven home at every available opportunity, is that Allardyce is in no way a guarantee of Premier League status.
There is a media factoid going around he is, but that's all it is - a consensus opinion and it would be utter folly to rely on it next season.
Once again - Allardyce is more likely do get us relegated next season than anything else.

This article by Samuel is the best I've read because it sums up succinctly and accurately the way most of us have viewed the Allardyce Stewardship. No exaggerations, no hysteria, no sign of pre conceived dislike simply an objective analysis and conclusion.
As for the reply here by fiddle it seems to him that BFS is allowed to have good luck but there is no such thing as bad luck it's down to incompetence. That will not wash.
We all know that BFS will walk at the end of the season and we don't want him to be hanging around out of contract like CfC only to come back as we fail to land a credible replacement.
Well done Martin Samuel........a WHU supporter.

He also got lucky last season.
We had that startling run in February that took everyone by surprise. We got all the luck our way in four or five games and it saved us from relegation.
Look at the two periods August-January and March-May in that season and we would have finished bottom.
That's a very different story from clubs that pick up points here and there throughout the season and stay up. Essentially Allardyce got the rub of the green for a few weeks and it saved us (and him, unfortunately).

Relegation form since Christmas.
7 points from relegation last season.
Is he really a safe option as some have said?
Seems more of a gamble to keep him.
