Curiously I'd like to ask all the pro-allardyce people a question.

Why do you think given that West Ham and Sunderland have both dispensed with their managers, why is it Sam is still on the dole?

west ham same profile as us, looking doomed, no money, relegation scrap - Zola appointted. Why was Sam not even considered?

Sunderland, Keano's situation has been going on for a while most thought he would jack it in, so surely they where drawing up a shortlist. Their chairman has said he wants to look abroad, surely ruling him out? I will be surprised if Sunderland chose him.

What other teams where in the similiar postition last season and he was overlooked? (sorry can't remember if he was sacked before other teams started ditching their dead wood)

It worries me when a manager is linked to every club under the sun and never gets it.

Probably the same reason we didn't go for him in the summer and the same reason Sunderland are reluctant.

He has the reputation for ugly football, but what does that matter if you don't go down?

He isn't foreign, which these new fangled foreign investors ideally want as they see it as a good pull to the club.

Either that or the Chairmen didn't get on with him at interview.

Gérard Houllier is still currently out of a job ain't he?

Brilliant youth policy and a hell of a footballing brain... Just what Rovers need at the moment in my opinion.

(Don't know if his heart could handle the pressure though again in the Premier League)

:lol:

He and Long Phil turned Michael Owen into a goal hanger, successfully purging him of most of his more exciting traits.

We need to make the right choice here, not rush into an impetuous appointment.

Houllier would be pretty good for a club of our stature. He could do a decent job for us, and could sort out our youth team. Bernt Schuster is on shaky ground at Real Madrid, and has Barcelona next game. Who knows, but he may become an option if he wants to rebuild his reputation in a new country. Stranger things have happened. My choices, in some sort of order:

1. BFS

2. Houllier

3. Advocaat

Actually, it was the multiple hamstring injuries which robbed him of his pace that are responsible.

Houllier is one of the managers that loses the plot when given money to spend (Diouf, Diao etc.) but would probably be excellent on a budget.

Houlleir strikes me as the sort of appointment which either be genious or disaster. A big gamble as he has not been downb this end of the Premier League, a bit like Avram Grant. Can we take a punt like that?

I can't believe I'm going to say this but I'd rather watch the type of fare that would be served up under BFS (on a temporary basis ONLY) than see us slide into the Championship amongst the Dingles. It's almost beyond contemplation....

I think we will be swapping places with the Dingles. :lol:

I know I've said this one too many times, but I don't get the whole 'ugly football' stigma towards Big Sam. How many fans bemoaned the lack of good football under Hughes, esp last year? But no one of us complained when we finished in the top ten consecutively.

Like Hughes, Big Sam knows how to get the best out of players and organise them - something the current staff have no idea about.

He won't come - He was very upset by the face book episode and by the continuing interviews.

I doubt he's daft enough to rule out well paid employment at the top level because of a facebook page.

He could easily have ruled himself out or suggested the chance had gone on Goals On Sunday this morning - he didn't. Very diplomatic as most managers are when the vacancy isn't available yet but there was certainly a suggestion there that he would be interested.

Anyone Rovers fan that would actually vocally object to him coming in now must be a complete tool in my opinion.

He has to get back in somewhere as quickly as possible and that could well be us if Sunderland pass on him.
