[Archived] Sam Allardyce

[Hughesy]

The clubs that are already the riggest get tens of millions added to their bottom line.

Sad. Ultimately it is going to erode attendances outside the bgger teams, just as has happend in Scotland, Portugal, Holland where similar lack of competition has undercut the sport.

Did you mean riggest or biggest?!

riggest

Superlative Adjective form of "rig".

Synonyms: sickest, wicked, cool, the best of a catagory, or group. Anything that is way better than something else

As for attendances.....whats the outlook for attendances this season? I know ours are up, and we are hardly fighting for the title!

Well that settles it then, ignore the most telling stat- the Premier League table and sack him because of a random opta fact.

Taxi for Wag... Sorry Allardyce.

Another measured comment from Rovers' biggest fan.

Abbzzz, I'm sure Sam tries to set the team up to win away from home.

I very much doubt he sits there before the game and goes "f**k it, we'll give 'em the win"

[mellison24]

I would also point out that NOBODY thinks he is 'the messiah'. Merely that he's doing a very good job with the resources at his disposal. Christ, we're not the frigging Geordies where every manager is supposed lead us to the promised land.

[ABBEY]

bull poo..he may not say f it .He sure sets the team up not to win.

on another note ,i was speaking to someone who has a 10k box at ewood and has had one since they were available.(local company...no name mentioned...promised.)He wines and dines clients and he has said he wont be renewing if the manager is the same at the reypayment time,as its " DEPRESSING LAUNCHBALL AND THE CLIENTS HAVE EVEN BEEN LEAVING AT HALF TIME".

Maybe he should go and support the team rather than brown nosing his clients?

IS PAYING 10K A SEASON not supporting the team? so all boxes and revenue scrapped? your barmy maty.

No, paying 10K a season is supporting the club as a business.

Supporting the team is going whenever you can and actually wanting your team to do well no matter what style of footie they play.

Did you go to Anfield away last year?

[mellison24]

I would blame the team for that disgrace. No support for Samba whatsoever apart from Warnock. If Sam didn't want to win, why bother playing someone up front? Even a defender.

so him paying for a box means hes not a fan? he goes home and away,im confused?

im presuming the wanting the team to do well is aimed at me...do tell where i have once said i dont want us to do well? it happens i dont like the style ,the boredom,the attidtude and blaming all things himself of our inspiring leader...i have stopped away games because i am not wasting my money on rubbish. so what your saying is your not a rovers fan if you have an opinion .

I thin he was referring to your mate complaining about entertaining his colleagues instead of being at the match for the reason the majority are. If your mate cancels the renting of the box and saves himself just shy of 10k by sitting in a seat, we wouldn't be talking about it now haha

[ABBEY]

he goes home and away and before he got a box he stood on the blackburn end as a kid...so you can harldy say he isnt a fan ffs.ps where did i say he was my mate? if you talk to a random stranger in a pie shop doesnt make them your pal does it?

[Hughesy]

Good for your mate/ pie man/ dog & your story Zzzzzzzabbey - same old!

Use opta stats to slag our keeper or whatever, the table says we are 12th....whether thats his doing or not, it doesnt really matter. As for the excuses on non-renewal, what did he want? Cheaper box after relegation?!

[ABBEY]

Good for your mate/ pie man/ dog & your story Zzzzzzzabbey - same old! SORRY I DIDNT MEAN TO OFFEND THE GREATEST FAN IN HISTORY.

Use opta stats to slag our keeper or whatever, the table says we are 12th..I HAVENT..whether thats his doing or not, it doesnt really matter. As for the excuses on non-renewal, what did he want? Cheaper box after relegation?!HE IS GONNA CANCEL AND JUST GET A SEASON TICKET !!! HES BAD.

OH I LOVE THIS LAST WEEK ITS GREAT WE ARE 10TH ,ITS GREAT WERE 11TH AND NOW WERE GREAT COS WE ARE 12TH....

I just assumed, sorry. And who we blame/praise is more often than not appropriate anyway. If the tactics are right, but the team don't put the effort in or make errors, we blame them. If the team puts in plenty of effort but the tactics are fecked up, we blame the manager. Or at least that's what I try to do. I don't feel I blindly praise him regardless. For what it's worth I'm not all that keen on him, his tactics or whatever. But he's doing his job and (barring some post-match lies that EVERY manager tells) he's an honest manager and has the clubs interests at heart (albeit a dicky one).

The manager's line-up, the manager's tactics. You don't go to Anfield and play a lumbering centre-half up front on his own if you want something from the game.

YAWN.....your as boring as jims railway station too.
