I'm sick of hearing this. If a manager can't learn from the obvious after seven months then he's either slower then forest gump on a bad day or he just doesn't want to learn. Do you seriously think it should take him seven months to realise that playing to your oppositions strengths and against your own is a a terrible idea? Its basic stuff, it shouldn't take one month to learn never mind seven months, or god forbid three years.
P.S. I have no loyalty to Sam Allardyce until he earns my loyalty, I'm loyal to the club, not the manager.
He's given himself 5 years who are we to argue?
