You're having a laugh. He has got enough fat reserves to outlast Neville Southall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted October 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Allardyce might be as apologetic as he likes, he's possibly getting a ban in the near future which would make it rather foolish to give him a job. Even if they don't, his reputation is done, and our hiring him taints us with it. His career is over, bar perhaps of he escapes a ban some small League 1 or 2 side might take a punt, like Oldham did with Lee Hughes.

I imagine the FA will throw something similar Graham career never really recovered either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Thinking of Bruce or Fat Sam as the manager just makes me sad. Honestly would rather Sherwood back over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 The owner, the board and the technical director need to make sure that this is absolutely the right appointment. We can't get to a position where after the next 11 games we are looking to replace another manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I am firmly in the nowhere near my club when it comes to Allardyce. He is now tarnished goods. How on earth does anyone think he will be able to command any respect from the players? Every future transfer will be questionable. He will just bring the club under even greater scrutiny than it already is. If he said it was raining outside, i would have to go and check for myself.....and i wouldnt take my umbrella with me !!!! No thanks.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see that working out here with the calibre of players we have. For his own sake he should stay at Huddersfield. It would work eventually, but he probably wouldn't get the best going until after a pre season. Look at Klopp last season, very hit and miss. This season they look fitter and more drilled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'd actually be ok with Sherwood ... if we gave him one of those zero-hour contracts that are all the rage in Great Ingurlund these days. Might even get our great fan Lord Cameron the Baconlover to show up to a game or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are currently an absolute shambles near the bottom of the league. If Bruce came in and turned that around getting us promoted, you would then sack him?

He even said he'd the FA to sign off on his £400k before committing. There's nothing to stop him working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 1st choice for me is Marcelo Bielsa, might be difficult to get at this stage but if Dr Tony is willing to splash £15m on Championship strikers then he might be able to make an offer worthy of the great man. He could finally sort out the culture of the club and leave a platform for others to build on. 2nd choice is a bit more realistic in Michael O'Neill, a very shrewd tactician and generally is a very positive man without being a spoofer. Has overachieved in his last two jobs. Jonny Evans who is probably one of the smartest professional footballers in world football recently mentioned how shocked he was that no clubs have come in for him.

Bruce has made a career out of paying big money and then wasting it on shit players with shit contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear a statement on the news here where I am pretty sure he stated he was genuinely apologetic for what happened. That's not the same as actually being genuinely apologetic but suggests he is showing some accountability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
