You're talking about a guy who's won nothing in his career, been booed at pretty much all of his recent clubs and there's a line of cunts on SSN and the rest falling over themselves to call him a great, successful manager.
I read it as a hot streak overall, not specifically against Norwich. I like Mitrovic a lot but he's contributed virtually nothing this season, obviously.
He wasnt on decent cash with us was he?
He was the lowest paid manager in the league with a salary apparently heavily incentivised on operating profit - ie player sales.
Fucking Steve Bruce, man. McClaren, Hodgson, Allardyce and Bruce/Southgate 4 of our last 5 managers. Imagine that?
And people would still try to assign blame to the 'bottle of the players' and other such tripe.
I think he always saw Sunderland as a short-term thing, like. The amount of times I'd see him driving around down here (his house is 10 mins from mine) in mid-week suggested he spent next to no time on Wearside.
That moment with Flores was undoubtedly Allardyce's best moment, mind.
Flores waiting for players to run over and stand between him and Allardyce before walking on the spot 'towards' him was a fucking thing of beauty.
Wow. Deserve all they fucking get for hiring managers of that standard. Should have been Ancelotti's job the second Madrid pulled the trigger.
And this, 100%.
