[Archived] Sam Allardyce

[gillibrand]

i think bfs is more off a man than that,why would he go to a club whose fans did not want him 6 months ago?it's not like he has only a couple off hundred left in the bank!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only some of the fans, a lot did want him, but also a lot of fans wanted a continental manager wth the hope we would play like Real Madrid!

...and the transfer window is just around the corner................

[MCMC1875]

According to this morning's Sun, Allardyce is very interested in the Sunderland job.

Plan C was again.............??

er....there was no plan C Rev!

[joey_big_nose]

er....there was no plan C Rev!

Why whose that I see ridin in on the dawn? No, it can't be?S..S..S..Souness?I never thought he would be back....

mental.

[MCMC1875]

Jesus - its Souey and Tugay!!!!

[dr_awol]

Jesus - its Souey and Tugay!!!!

Tugay/Souness

sounds ok to me, maybe our players need that slap on the back of the head just before each game, short term anyway, then when tugay is ready to take control after being showen the ropes he can step up.

[EwoodGlory]

Ince Out.

Souness in until the end of the season.

We stay up, Souey get's a long term deal.

Perfect

[Bobby G]

Tugay in a suit running up and down the touchline, or I should say coasting up and down the touchline...Not the worst thing that can happen...

[Amo]

How good is Tugay's English? Never met him or seen him in an interview.

[The Prof.]

How good is Tugay's English? Never met him or seen him in an interview.

Tugay's English is great - but he is totally incomprehensible. Even when he talks Turkish no other Turks know what he's on about apparently.

Rovers will make him press officer.

[yellowsubmarine]

Tugay's performance wasn't outstanding but he stood up above nearly all the Rovers players tonight. It's a shame, we still need a near-40 year old man to lead the way. He got the sponsor's MOM award by the way.

[Hughesy]

Ssamba was probably our best player today, with Tugay a very close 2nd.

[Bobby G]

The People are reporting that the players are split into two camps of who they would prefer, with Tugay supporting Souness and Dunn supporting Allardyce. Firstly I hope that in whichever scenario, the other player doesnt get marginalized, but on a more pertinent point, we never had a poll on Allardyce but this may be more relevant.

Can someone make a poll here please.

Personally Id go for Allardyce...Although sentiment for the good old days makes it a tough choice. But what swings it for me is that players never have bad things to say about Big Sam, or his techniques...

If thias really is the choice then I want an option that says "find someone else" as we have no chance of survival with souness and as is well-documented, I hate allardyce

[Clitherover]

Would prefer Allardyce, but isn't he going Sunderland?

Me too Gum

[gillibrand]

Me too Gum

Who would you prefer Jose Murinio perhaps?

[Mr Creosote]

Who would you prefer Jose Murinio perhaps?

Are you going to have a big sulk when Allardyce goes to Sunderland?

[scotchrover]

Anyones better than them two. Look Below

Frank Clark- Forest where bottom when he took over and a season after they finnished third, when we finnished as champions.

Dave Bassett could also be a name. Had success at wimbledon.

Ron Atkinson could also be a possiblility

David O'Leary had experiance in the prem (kept Villa up with no money) before and in the Champions League final

John Gregory had a limited amount of money at Villa and when he left they where top of the league.

George Graham- Dull but will sort the defence out and should stay up

Terry Venables kept boro up all those years ago behind the scean

David Pleat- Prem experiance Successful at Luton

Greame Taylor- It won't be nice and certainly watching but we wil stay up with the turnip.Also had a limited amount of money at villa.

Peter Reid- kept leeds up with a win at Arsenal on the last day of the season NO MONEY

Howard Wilkinson- Won the league with Leeds many moons back.

Joe Royle- took City from the second division into the prem.

Lennie Lawrence- Used to a relegation battle, managed Grimsby and Boro kept them both up. (No money at Grimsby)

Eddie Gray- Gave Leeds a fighting chance in the prem after they seemed to be dead and buired. NO MONEY

These blokes have all managed in the prem before and may just get us out the mess where in.

As you can tell though it has to be anybody BUT Souness and allardyce for me

How about you.

[whittle blue]

To be honest Scotch Rover, I'd have anyone except them!

(That doesn't include Ince, of course)

[Hughesy]

Bruce or Allardyce for me, with Tugay involved no matter who gets the job.

[gillibrand]

Are you going to have a big sulk when Allardyce goes to Sunderland?

Most probably.

[Shevchenko]

Before Newcastle did us all a favour we were headed towards an absolute train wreck with Souness, who had completely lost the plot. Allardyce did well over many years with a club in similar circumstances (town club, limited budget etc.) and on paper looks like the obvious choice and better candidate.

So of the two, I'd take Allardyce please.

[AndyC]

big sam. no questions.

came within a whisker of getting the england job after years of sustained improvements at bolton.

forward thinking. heavy emphasis on coaching and new techniques.

gets the best out of players

can't believe that anyone would go for the man who almost destroyed our club! people on here have incredibly short memories!

[EwoodGlory]

Souness until the end of the season. If we finish safe then an option for a longer contract.
