Former West Ham starlet says Allardyce ruled by fear

WARNING - POSTERS THAT MOAN EVERY TIME SAM ALLARDYCE IS MENTIONED NEED NOT READ ON


A former West Ham Academy prospect says Sam Allardyce “neglected” the youngsters at the club and ruled by fear at Upton Park.

Seb Lletget, 23, who is currently playing for LA Galaxy, has revealed how he and his fellow youth team players were used as pawns in the infamous 5-0 defeat to Championship side Nottingham Forest in January 2014.

Lletget was one of six debutants in the FA Cup game at the City Ground on that fateful day and the San Francisco-born midfielder believes the “uninspiring” Allardyce, who had a four-year spell in east London, used the game to make a point about his lack of first-team options.

“I look back at that now and it’s just like ‘oh!'” Lletget told KUMB.com.

“I enjoyed it because it was our only opportunity. But we played a formation that we’ve never played in our life and we didn’t have too much experience on the field – which I realise is important now having played with Stevie [Gerrard] and Keano.

“It’s important having those senior guys around to control things, the kind of things the fans don’t see. We had none of that. We were just improvising really and I’ve never been in that position before. I couldn’t even tell you what he said to us out there because it wasn’t inspiring.”

Lletget, who left to join LA Galaxy in May 2015, also slammed Allardyce’s perceived lack of interest in the Academy players .

“I can say this now as it’s been a long while and a lot has happened,” he added. “But I believe there was a lot of neglect,” added Lletget.

“It’s not that he didn’t care, but it’s like he had better things on his mind. He didn’t have time for us and I couldn’t understand that.

“Being a Premier League manager is tough, it’s not easy. But I feel like even if it’s tough, you can still care and show that. With us, all we wanted was a handshake in the morning, for him to know our names – but he had none of that.

“People respected him because they were scared of him, but they all wanted to do well and make it because they didn’t want to get exiled. And a lot of players did, immediately, without a second thought.

“It was a real shame because we had a really good group of lads and a lot of talent, but it never got to shine.”

That's rich from you croe. Give it a rest as it doesn't really matter. What does matter is you defending Allardyce for what he did with our youth side against Notts Forest you oversized twat

Re: Former West Ham starlet says Allardyce ruled by fear

It isn't strange. I went back to page 301 and that's where it stopped. One McAvennie obviously realised that and chose to lie about what I was saying knowing I couldn't go that far back.

I repeat that I have consistently wanted BFS out. Once he was under contract I said he should be allowed to see that through but I still hated him unlike you.

Maybe that is what confuses some people but you really have got so pathetic on here that you have to keep up a phoney argument as a red herring to the real issue. You defending BFS's sending out kids to lose a match against Notts Forest.

For that you are a despicable prick.

I-ron pulled up one from 2006 the other day

Maybe after spending hours looking for some form of defence, posts from the wrong season were the best he could come up with.

Proper strange

As far back as they go? Really?

Re: Former West Ham starlet says Allardyce ruled by fear

BUT it's a different season so why what you've spent so long looking for relevant to the what One Macca was talking about??

It's not

It's fucking mental

Re: Former West Ham starlet says Allardyce ruled by fear

Because August 2014 is as far back as the pages go. Hardly fucking rocket science...

Re: Former West Ham starlet says Allardyce ruled by fear

"The season of the Forest game you argued constantly about NOT sacking Allardyce"

So WHY have you pulled up posts from a different season to try and defend yourself?

Talk about being an idiot

"You're a proper fucking FRAUD, Willtell. The season of the Forest game you argued constantly about NOT sacking Allardyce, citing reasons that he's the best man to get us out of the mess he put us in.
Don't rewrite history."

Don't you rewrite history One McAvennie.

I have consistently been arguing against BFS so you are badly out of order and a liar One McAvennie.

I was against breaking the contract he had but does this sound like I'm supporting him back during the time you refer to?

Re: This is why BFS will be gone by 1/10/14
BFS is devisive but, G&S know that the fans will still be there in numbers whatever they decide. I went to 4 games last year and live in France so it's easy for me to say I'm not going again until BFS is gone but I really would like to go because it's more than just the football.

Re: BFS opens his big mouth again.
I don't see a lot wrong with this but listening to his after match interview where he claimed we won because of HIS tactical plan just amazed me. Zarate made all the difference for providing a new dimension to the team and got us started with a class goal.

If BFS had left Nolan out to play Zarate in his position then I'd give him credit but he didn't did he? He only left Nolan out because of injury. BFS loves taking credit when it goes right but it's never his fault when it goes wrong. The man's a classless wanker but if he keeps getting wins I'll put up with him...

Lily Hammer 10:15
I agree. All the time the team does well BFS deserves credit for it. But don't kid yourself mate. If Nolan wasn't injured Zarate would not have started and the game and the result may well have been different.

It's just so typical though that BFS claims it as a "tactical" win when we all know it was just luck that Zarate started.

Sounds gay but fuck me you don't hear that kind of commitment these days in football.

Euro 96's/Boltkunt should take note.

I'm trying hard not to think to much about Sunday because as far as days out and away games come it doesn't get any better and I could do with some sleep the next couple of nights.

Oh dear me, Willtell being outed not only as a bandit but also getting smashed up about his past postings.

Will running down the Frenchmen brings back memories.

My first interaction with Will was him getting really mad when I laughed at him saying that Noble would soon lose his place to "the beast Diarra."
