I completely disagree with that.
At the time, myself and many included all agreed he was the perfect man for the job, especially the way things had been turning out.
He was the right man with his off the field approach to fitness and everything else to try and sort that mess out, to build contacts with his scouting network.
Now I don't want to get into a debate about the boards etc but according to most the budget was going to be tight and he seemed the perfect man to slowly progress ourselves back up the table. Maybe since the appointment of a new board, the fans ambitions appeared to have changed, but that's not saying at the time Allardyce under the circumstances was not the right man for the job.
