Sysagent Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 More seriously, he stopped giving interviews to the BBC at large, following damaging allegations by the Panorama programme. Allardyce threatened to sue for libel but, curiously, the threat was never carried out. No mention that Fergie has maintained that stance with the Beeb as well... I really despise the media, I do all of it.

RevidgeBlue Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Allardyce threatened to sue for libel but, curiously, the threat was never carried out. Yeah strange one that, possibly because the much vaunted programme was a complete damp squib and didn't actually contain anything damaging to sam?..................................
Zulu Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 So you finally made a decision then! Just two points from me. 1. Calm down - it's only Stoke City. 2. Regarding Allardyce - I told you so! You'll stay up now. Merry Christmas!
philipl Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Sam's next two fixtures are wierd in the extreme: Sunderland away- up against long time colleague whose break into the managerial big time has now been publicly tied to beating us and their next opponents. If Sam inspires a win, he breaks his old mates dreams and ambition but probably gets him to Ewood when he gets sacked. Just to add to the twists are Spit the Diouff and the risk that Sam might spoil a huge winning run in the north east that is 12 (?) games long in Cup and League that even Paul Ince didn't manage to screw up. Man City home- former manager and favourite Sparky returns to Ewood for the ultimate defenestration? Plus it could be a game literally for the heart and soul (well £20m and what shirt to wear) of Roque who may or may not be on the field knowing he has to score to sink his potential new employers deeper into the relegation soup in order to impress them enough to offer the dosh. Sigmund Freud et al, eat your heart out.
John Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Sbragia mentioned in his press conference today that he spoke with Sam on Saturday night (to congratulate him on the Stoke result). It will be interesting to see what happens with the Sunderland job. Clearly Sam puts so much emphasis on having the correct backroom staff, therefore I am interested to see who next be brings in. It appears he wants Sbragia to join and he is holding out for him for now. Sbragia seems unsure on taking the managers job at Sunderland full time. Worst case scenairo for us is that he is appointed caretaker manager for rest of season.
trs Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 The big man is coming up on ssn sometime after 6pm

Sigmund Freud et al, eat your heart out. Deep very Deep, and I love "Spit the Diouff". I wonder whatever happened to "Spit the Dog" Sbragia mentioned in his press conference today that he spoke with Sam on Saturday night (to congratulate him on the Stoke result).

Could be a smart move to lure him away and have Sunderland back in a relegation tizzy until they wait for Hughes to be fired ;-)
den Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 The big man is coming up on ssn sometime after 6pm He's told Roque that he doesn't want him to leave, but if a "huge" bid came in [no bids yet], then that might change.
waggy Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 just heard a interview with big fat sam and he referred to playing BLACKBURN,does that make him a retard,ill educated threedogs :!:
gillibrand Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 just heard a interview with big fat sam and he referred to playing BLACKBURN,does that make him a retard,ill educated threedogs :!: Don't you think you are are sounding a little bit silly now, come back if Big Sam takes us on a run like Ince did.
waggy Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Don't you think you are are sounding a little bit silly now, come back if Big Sam takes us on a run like Ince did. i might sound silly but it's exactly the treatment ince got

Commondore Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 BFS seems to be very fond of the McCarthy-Roberts strikeforce according to teamtalk: http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,1...4737864,00.html Could this mean that he won't be adjusting to his standard 4-5-1 tactics?
broadsword Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Haha! Made me smile, which is some going today.
gumboots Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Haha! Made me smile, which is some going today. Why's that? Our head just informed us it's the worst day of the year for falling out with colleagues. No wonder when after 2 weeks almost child free you suddenly get groups of 30 kids appearing in your classroom ready to talk about their hols to the rest of the friends they haven't seen for 2 weeks and no at all interested in learning french. You just gone back to work too?
novella Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 He's come out today and basically said if the players lose tonight and perform badly he's selling them.
den Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 He's come out today and basically said if the players lose tonight and perform badly he's selling them. He's just putting pressure on them. Good move.
broadsword Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 You just gone back to work too? yep, but only for a week and a bit, I get officially binned a week tomorrow. Motivation level is 0.
gumboots Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 yep, but only for a week and a bit, I get officially binned a week tomorrow. Motivation level is 0. Think mine would be even lower in those circumstances. Even worse having to go back after christmas only to lose your job. Best wishes.
Majiball Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Haha! Made me smile, which is some going today. We won. Now thats worth a smile isn't it.
philipl Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Like it Bryan! At least with Allardyce in position, we stand a chance of winning the argument for the likes of Finnan or Hyppia against other clubs. With Ince we hadn't a prayer of the Manager persuading anybody except old mates.
thenodrog Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 With Ince we hadn't a prayer of the Manager persuading anybody except old mates. 'Old' unfortunately being the operative word.
Majiball Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 'Old' unfortunately being the operative word. If fowlers old what are me and you then Theno??? Ancient? Even though Sam's here now we are still being linked with "mates".
