The issue for me is this, Bilic built a physically weak team based on possession rather than hard work. This worked, to a point, in the Championship but was drastically poor in the Prem. Sam will have to turn this on it's head to build a team that suits his style but, by then, it will be too late and we will be relegated and therefore go into the Championship with a team built around defence and drill. If Sam then parts company and we try another younger more dynamic coach, he will again have a team that doesn't suit and we'll be starting all over again.
It's mad to keep dramatically changing the style, as we don't have the funds for widespread changes, therefore end up with square pegs in round holes.
I have no desire to stay in this league, under the current regime, as the odds are stacked too highly against us. We should have took the money, accepted relegation (which is inevitable anyway it seems) and built something longer term.
Not saying we should have kept Bilic but we may as well have tried someone who's style would have matched the players we have.
I feel for Allardyce as he must have looked at that shower last night and thought, there's not one of them who I would pick given a blank sheet.
We are like a hamster on a wheel who falls off and, when he gets back on, it's going the other way!
