He's already contracted. The talks are about what the club is planning regards budgets for signings and player sales in the summer. Nowt to do with Sam's remuneration imo.

That's what I meant in my post Jacko.
I would have thought that would have been at least looked at when he joined?

It's a break at the end of this season if we didn't stay up. But yes, he's contracted for another 12 months.

Thanks Mark.
I just thought it may be the player issue? As to what he will have to work with? More than anything else.

Has he not already signed a contract for 18 months with a break if we don't go up?
I know it is football but really he has failed ( I well understand the reasons why)
So really is it his £££ or the control of the team more the issue?

Yes we are a small club. I think some of our fans think we have a right to be eating at the top table !

We haven't got to a major cup final for over 50 years !!  There are only 2 other premier clubs who have gone longer and thats sheff utd and Burnley.  A lot of teams in the lower leagues can beat that.

The league never lies and we are where we deserve to be.

Me personally, I enjoy the championship. The premier league is not a level playing field and even VAR has biased opinions.

Its far better watching your team win rather than being beaten heavily every other week.

Well as far as being able to watch it thats another thing that won't happen anyway.

But only works if you go back up to the greed. Miss out for 2nd year on and become hard work. Awful really why I have lost interest these days

Well done son, proper professional attitude. Such a pity the management team couldn't be arsed
.

In my view Sam does.
But these are footballers.....or think they are. They may have the skills but can they be bothered when things don't drop on their lap?
Makes you wonder why some of the high priced players we have were hardly used?

If it is announced he's leaving, then of course we'd allow it. Otherwise, site rules.

Minor point, Allardyce isn't out of contract, he has 12 months left on his deal

There is a break clause in it though Mark, if we got relegated widely reported mind? So no wonder really fans want to discuss it?
I hope he stays and everyone happy and the pigs can start flying!  :D

Despite relegation, I think big Sam has done an okay job.
We came up with glaring deficiencies in the team, which were not addressed, fitness levels were not up to standard in my opinion, whilst I liked Bilic, he has to carry the can for that, but he, somewhat luckily got us promoted which was essential.
Big Sam has improved us, shown he can identify a player and our shortcomings.
He knows what is needed, he should be backed, retained and given the control he wants.

I agree. I did not expect him to keep us up there simply was not enough time and games left. He knows the team and what is needed to get us back up.

It isn't meant to be the normal matchday experience.

I hope to be picked just to do something a bit different while seeing YokuÅŸlu etc. live.


Give us a "wave" won't you!?  8)

Sad that it’s been a position of weakness for years

The fans noticed that, one has to ask the question

“Why didn’t the club with all its experts, academy development etc, not notice it?”

Seems always the way! Left was poor ages now right?

That med me loff.

This past year or so the forum's never been more important... and it's good to disagree as well as agree of course. What I certainly agree with is 'passion shown by manager/ coach'. Slaven bless him was full of passion but it didn't get us very far once we were in the nosebleed league.

Good to add a bit of humour now and again mate!
In my view to be successful you need to know what you are doing not so much aspire to know what you are doing.
When you are slugging it out in the position we have been in the las 10/12 years or so.

Do you know what, I've never listened to it mate.

I think Mr Allardyce is just playing it cool with his heath issue.

He's had to change his outlook and therefore his demeanour since his heart issues.

I would say nail on head there.
Needs to find the balance of doing a good job...and enjoying it.
And overdoing it.

Would we be happy with the Sam Allardyce style? What is his style? Would it be what we are seeing now, would he be more expansive?
I don't want him in charge, I didn't want him in charge, I've nothing against him, apart from the owners panic I don't see what we've achieved overall with his appointment!

Apart from being stuffed 5-0 every week by shoring up the defence. And putting a monster up front to take the heat off (although goals still issue) No he ain't done much!

Something an awful lot of people noticed more than 12 months ago  ;D

Indeed. But some thought it "Hindsight" others thought it logical.

You can write the NHS off now for many years apart from life and death matters.

I can't comment. But I think you are very astute.

Ho ho!!! Looking forward to this.....




EDIT: Well that didn't kick off like I was hoping.  ;)

Be the same again. Put a post up a bit back. All down to the budget and of course the right man. The latter won't come as the former constricts. Same as ever been!

Hopefully not Kev but I can see us not been allowed to travel too much even though we are out of it. Unfortunately with a global pandemic we have to resolve the global problem.

But the pubs will hopefully be open so every cloud eh?? ;D
Indeed mate. Hopefully working with other countries to get it sorted.NHS now has a huge backlog of procedures to tackle.

The EU has threatened to halt vaccines to us, because we have a high vaccination rate.
Perhaps we should not let our manufacturing go to pot then eh Clive? We should be more than capable of making enough.
Lets see.....not holding breath.
Had my 2nd Yesterday.
Back in theatre soon.
