That’s in Big Sam’s first 4 home games.

Big Sam OUT.
Lai OUT.

Starting to looks like the Pardew side (the Wolves game apart).

Still, atleast now poorly run clubs like ours might think twice about Allardyce and may instead try somebody a bit different. Need to make sure Allardyce stays just long enough to get that 'R' next to his name.

Agreed. The Pardew team got that result at Anfield in the FA Cup like we got a result at wolves but the comparisons are similar except I dont think under pardew as poor as we were we took hammerings all the time like this

[TheJacko2000]

I agree with you i said at the time if he keeps Jones it will cost him his job. Just trying to say i can see history repeating itself.

Oh yeah I knew what you meant, what I was getting at was I'd hope Mozza wouldn't make the same mistake if that transpired.

[lewisant]

Debate Big Sam all you want, but we can't talk about potential replacements  when the incumbent is in place.

[gazberg]

If Sam thinks showing up these cowards to the board will get any emotion or reaction from them he's sorely mistaken just like Bilic was.

We're certainly not aiming to finish above anyone on goal difference.

[Dexy]

The joke was appointing Allardyce in the first place.

His record speaks for itself , those above thinking they as usual could do it on the cheap as usual is the joke .

I’d agree with everything other than not sacking Allardyce, I don’t see the point in him being in charge given its highly unlikely he won’t be hear next season anyway.

Agreed. Dowling and Ken thought We will get in the man whose never been relegated and thought we would suddenly become a good team

You might be onto something there as they seem to have no understanding of football on any level.

Dowling has to work with the meagre budget set. The problem is above him. We should have invested more this summer, realising that 1/3 years budget wasn't enough to bring the squad up to a competitive level. Or secondly accepted relegation and done a Norwich. Instead we spent pennies and then blamed the manager for the team not being good enough. Hence new manager and the team still isn't good enough and we still have no money to spend!

[boinging_along]

If he was taking over from Pulis it would make sense.  Taking over this group of players who are weak defensively and expecting them to defend constantly was never going to work.  You don't expose the weakest part of your entire team on purpose.

[TAFKATMNo1Fan]

Sam played his part in our relegation to division 3 in 1991 and it looks like hes playing his part in another disastrous season in our illustrious history!

[Standaman]

God I'm seething I tell you. That absolute backside Guardiola pulling Gündoğan before he picked up the clean sheet points for me fantasy team.

Us? Allardyce? Yes, whatever totally standard.

Funds mate , 3 players I think would be enough to transform this side at a push .
It won't happen now , even getting rid of quite a few .....clear to me its just cost cutting from above .

With our budget you need good scouting. It appears that we don't. Surely this is down to Dowling.

I have thought that this could be a situation where the club have accepted they cannot compete and Allardyces real role is to make us as attractive as possible to a suitor for a championship club "with potential"

[GREGMT]

I don't understand why Allardyce hasn't brought in 4 or 5 players already.  These players are absolutely shot mentally not even looking at ability.  They are carrying huge scars from the recent poundings.

Allardyce has been lazy in recruitment.  There are hundreds of thousands of footballers out there.  To actually wait 26 days of the transfer window and do nothing in the last 18 days is just negligence.  Snodgrass was signed on 8th Jan!

To actually play Sawyers & Livermore and not appreciate that it's a huge problem area is just inconceivable.

Farting around with Benteke, Musa and other strikers when Robinson is one of our best players.

Oh and nice to bring on Phillips and HRK in the 2nd half tonight....

Amazed anyone still thinks Allardyce does the deals tbh. He'd have had 7 or 8 in by now if it was up to him.

Surely the same could be said about Bilic?
