Bolton and Middlesbrough look good value.

Yes. That may be naive, but i do think he feels guilty about the amount of money he's taken out of the club without playing more than a handful of games. If the new manager is someone of Allardyce, Eriksson or Houllier's ilk, and not another comical appointment, i think he'll be here at the beginning next season at least.

Perhaps Wullie credited a man of your age with a little more maturity.

Preferable to Houllier, but i just think Allardyce is perfect for us this time around.

...but they aren't better candidates.

When did this interview take place?

West Ham - relegation?

I think we're too unstable to hire someone who doesn't know the English game or even language(?), at the moment. He's obviously a more talented coach than some of the names being being touted for the job, but Le Guen is a good example of how seemingly 'ambitious' appointments can go wrong.

Two years.

Letting go the only world class player in our squad for less than we paid for him will be good business anyway, according to some.

No? I can't think of anyone else who has had so many opportunities and produced so little.

Good move. ...for Bolton.

Moyes is a far better manager than Strachan who is already starting to fuck up at Celtic. They will be 2nd next year without a doubt. You're not particularly happy with Moyes though, are you?

Pearce, O'Leary, Bruce, Shearer, Moyes, McClaren, Hoddle.

Exactly, who does Allardyce think he is getting the best out of a problem player? He should have taken a leaf out of Roeder's book and never let him near the first team again.

No they weren't.

Any chance the reason for the delay is because Shepherd will be announcing his resignation too?

Strong rumours on several radio stations Roeder has been sacked. Some drunk on 5 live saying he has seen Allardyce at Newcastle airport.

'They understand Roeder is on the verge of being sacked'. I thought it was significant because they cut from the post match coverage of Arsenal vs. Chelsea to go live to some reporter.

1-1. Essien.

'LOL-tastic'? Have a word.

Allardyce would love that.

Some people are deluding themselves if they think it's going to be 'an easy 6 points'. They have an astute, well-connected and well-respected manager who has £30m to spend on improving the squad, and if Roeder is given another season here, they will finish above us.
