Allardyce Gone!

[forefortheday]

As part of the new owners "wider plans" Big Sam (tm) has been relieved of his duties!

Ah well he'll have plenty of time to do his CV for the England job!

Chris Hughton for Blackburn?

Sounds like a done deal to me!

 

[fundy]

real shame to see fergies pet hippo and his horrible brand of football on the scrap heap - only downside is he'll be in the comm box more no doubt

 

[freddielong]

Ha ha couldn't have happened to a nice guy just before Christmas aswell ha ha ha

 

[HomerJSimpson]

As long as Hughes don't go from Fulham and we get Sam instead.

Bonkers decision. Love him or hate him. He gets results.

He did a great job to keep them up in his first season and they finished 10th last year and he's spent next to nothing. What more do people expect?

Yet another stupid decision by a club's owners.

I like big sam, this is just another example of people with a lot of money but no brains or common-sense flexing their financial muscle.

I hope their chicken farms get bird-flu and they get wiped out for this disgraceful action.

I hate allardyce with a passion. His tactics and style of football won't be missed for sure.

Only need Roy ("ive got 35yrs coaching experience") Hodgson to be sacked and that would make a great start to the christmas festivities.

2 of the biggest frauds ever in football management.

Love or loathe the football his teams play is fair enough. But he is a horse for a certain course and that's normally a club with limited funds who are in the sh!t (but then don't most jobs come up at that stage?!)

What Sam was at the forefront of was introducing a lot of modern training methods, performance analysis, sports science and sports medicine to our game. At Bolton, he spent shed loads on putting together his backroom staff and the facilites and equipment they used. He was quite a forward thinker when it came to using technology.

He was well liked at Bolton before he went to Newcastle...i'm not sure they would want him back now though.

I seem to remember Big Sam blowing his own trumpet about this sports science stuff, from what he says you would think he invented sports science.

Blackburn bought their way to a Premier League title once before - by the evidence at Man City I'm not sure they could do it again - strange decision for me - why sack him now? Why not wait until the end of the season?

 

[toonarmy]

I think after the week we Toon fans have had to put up with, we'll be allowed a small amount of Schadenfreude here!

This is the man, let it not be forgot, that managed to turn Jose Enrique into a player so low in confidence, we wondered if he could remember how to put one foot in front of the other.

Allardyce's ego is as big as his fat head.

Still, maybe Chelsea will come looking for him when they give Ancelotti the boot. After all, according to Fat Sam, he could win the double every year if he was in charge of the likes of Milan of Man Utd...

 

[Crazyface]

I think he's done a good job, in general, wherever he's been. If Blackburn's new owners think a new man in charge will mean they will break into the top four they are very much mistaken. Unless of course they are going to pump in about £100 million, and that's not going to happen is it?
Hey ho Sam's gonna pocket a bundle of dosh when they pay up his contract, gizza job.

 

[USER1999]

He might have gone, but where ever he's gone to isn't far enough.

 

[freddielong]

Ha ha ha I can see him going to Liverpool oh joy of joys ha haha
