JH Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 How Keegan in his last few games, can make a world of difference using exactly the same players as Allardyce, with Allardyce still claiming it wasn't his fault is beyond me.

1878 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I love how he's pretending to have pulled out of the running for the Blackburn job to save face after a 3rd division manager got it instead Proper David Brent-type moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I love how he's pretending to have pulled out of the running for the Blackburn job to save face after a 3rd division manager got it instead Proper David Brent-type moment. I would have though that too had I not seen the interview, but he seemed so confident that something better was going to come up in the next few months, I'm not so sure. Either he jumped before getting officially rejected by Blackburn and is confident that the first PL side to sack their manager next season will be his new destination, or Shepherd wants him to manage Mallorca.

Guest Stephen927 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Obviously with the new owners, the examination of the books etc by Mort, Allardyce may have missed out on a few signings before it was all sorted, but he still has to take a lot of the blame. The side we had coudl have went to Derby looking for a comfortable win, not playing for a draw. I wouldn't care if he didn't make it out like it's everyones fault but his own. Makes him look seriously pathetic but of course no one outside of Newcastle will see it like that, instead its hes a victim of a club renowned for chopping and changing managers.

dustynrg Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 But when it comes down to it which fans want him? Blackburn fans certainly didn't. He'll think he'll walk into a job but the best he can do is a Championship club tbh, if he failed there it will finish him and he'll be interviewed once every few months saying "Newcastle ruined me, it wasn't my fault" ad nauseum.

steve_69 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I heard he spat his dummy when Blackburn told him he wouldn't be bringing his team of clingons with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 allardyce left us in 11th place, with an average of 1.238 points per game since keegan came, we've finished 12th, with an average of 1 point per game i guess its not as simple as that, but it is interesting......

Allardyce started off alright and by the time he left we were well on the way down (not relegation, I mean in terms of form). Keegan had to pick that back up again before things started coming together. I'm certainly not saying Allardyce was completely useless and Keegan is perfect, though.

thewellander Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Allardyce is a complete tit. And, I'm sorry, but you can't judge Allardyce's record directly against Keegan's on a game-to-game basis. Keegan proved that he's a better manager at the end of the season. I blame Fat Sam for the majority of the losses at the beginning of Keegan's return. He inherited a right mess and came good.

Yes its true, but also meaningless. It doesn't take into account the fact that the teams we played under Keegan were better then the ones we played under Allardyce. Nor does it doesn't take into account the terrible lack of confidence Allardyce left behind him, something Keegan had to remedy before we could start to win games. Here's a stat, the average end of season points total for the teams we played under Allardyce was 48, while the average for the teams we played under Keegan was 55 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I remember in the early stages of last season, we'd just beaten Spurs 3-1, and everyone was euphoric and convinced that things had changed for the better, and I came in with a thread comparing our record against the clubs we'd played so far with the results in those games the previous season and pointed out that we were actually doing worse and people told me to fuck off Come January, Allardyce was probably well behind the Roeder record that saw us 6 points ahead of relegation, although I never had the heart to check.

Teasy Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I remember radio stations reporting how we'd made our best start to the season in however many years. Great stat that was, until you actually looked at the teams we'd played Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 That the worst thing about it - he praised Russia for their attacking, passing football just like he has done when watching Holland and Spain.
