S-Platt Posted December 16, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2020 Is it Fat Sam who has never lost his first game in charge of a new club? Or is that Warnock they are all the same to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) I can't imagine their owners have any money to give Big Sam in January, so I fully expect him to bring in 2 or 3 of the following on loan: - Andy Carroll - Danny Drinkwater - Craig Dawson - Fikayo Tomori - Phil Jones "Bring in some real men to sort us out!" Edited December 16, 2020 by Rob182 And Wes Morgan! I forgot about him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is bored and would like another £4 or 5 million.Its probably his last chance to be in the Premier League which is important for a egotist like Fat Sam. If they get relegated then he can walk away and blame the owners. He is from Dudley so the legend is going home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted December 16, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2020 Very strange sacking Bilic given how little they spent. Not sure what they were hoping for. Probably good news for us with our game coming up this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 To be fair, conventional wisdom sometimes proves wrong on occasions like this. Maybe there is a system and a style of play that can grind out enough results to survive, and the new man will find it. I mean, I don't think that will happen, and I don't personally think Bilic was doing particularly badly given the weaknesses in the squad. But doing better than 19th in the table isn't the most almighty of asks, and it's worth at least acknowledging that they *might* improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 It's poor form and a shocking sacking but big Sam is a brilliant appointment from a business perspective. Safety guaranteed, will organise them, sort out the defence, get their flair players going and they're finish safe with a month left of the season. I'd rather drink cat piss than watch his football, which has been nothing short of disgusting since Newcastle broke him but fair play to them. They're guaranteed another £100m into the coffers. They just need to have a plan for when they get rid of him in 6 -18 months time because nobody can put up with Big Sam football for that long.

The Fun Factory Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I just don't think they can ever be a particularly ambitious football club. Yo-yoing between the prem and championhip is probably the best they can hope for. Teams like Forest or Sheffield Wednesday would be delighted with even that . They are sandwiched between Wolves and us who both have far larger support bases. Still at least they aren't Blues. The best thing you can say about Albion is at least they are close to the M5 junction so you can leave quickly and get the hell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 At Palace and Sunderland he did a similar thing at Palace near the transfer window and kept them up. He was a disaster at Everton, don’t forget, having the least amount of shots in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Didn't buy the players required to give it a decent shot under Bilic so they should be pissed if they splash it in Jan with this guy buying 30 year olds on 5 year deals, what's Jack wilshere up to? They can't complain about fat Sam's brand of football though, what I saw of Bilic was **** garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
