nobby_solano Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 what's really astonishing is that he's probably trousered best part of £5m getting the sack here and at blackburn. malcolm mclaren would be very very proud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The payoff he got from us was more than £4m iirc so its more like £6m or £7m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I don't know what to think of this tbh. My first reaction is to always look to see how it will effect us. As others have pointed out, if likely his next stop will be West Sham. And if he follows form he'll keep them up, considering I and most others had them as relegation certainties, that's not a good thing for us. Of course there's "Where do Blackburn go from here ?" Well you would think they would be looking for a bigger name or a manager with a better reputation than Fat Sam. There's only two candidates, I see out there, that fill that bill, O'Neill and Jol. As laughable as it may seen both may see the Blackburn job as more attractive than they saw the NUFC one, especially if they were promised a lot of money to spend. If Blackburn bring in one of those two, then they too are unlikely to go down. That's not good for us. Having said all that, hopefully West Sham will hang on to Grant for too long for Fat Sam to weave his magic and Blackburn leave this caretaker in for 2 months and then replace him with someone like Strachan. Then I can see both going down. Fat Sam and Blackburn were a good fit, for goodness sake they get less than 20k to go to there games, it's a shit hole of a town, what more could they expect than mid table PL football, even if it's truged to watch.

Delima Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Big Sam had done very well with Blackburn. Stupid for them to sack him given one can hardly find a better shoestring manager and Blackburn is a small club with limited revenue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Really not sure Fat Sam will go to Wham. I don't think he will risk a relegation, probably will wait out for a spot in something more midtableish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Absolutely cracking news. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. mind you, i think the blackburn board are stupid because he was guaranteed to keep them up (as he was with us when we got rid) and their players aren't exactly great. unless they're just preparing for a january super spree! hopefully sam can be gone for a while and i hope he doesn't go to wham because in all likelihood, that'd be them safe too.

He may have kept us up despite the horrible Football we played. But it was far from guaranteed considering we'd only played three top four teams in 21 matches and had Arsenal, Manure, Liverpool, Villa (all top 5 teams and all away from home) and Manure again at home in the next 8 games.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 It's funny how this hasn't generated as many problems in the media as the Hughton sacking. They are similar events, imo and this one is even less warranted. Personally, I am extremely pleased to see Big Sam somewhere other than managing a team I have to watch twice a season. Maybe everyone just hates him as well, and Hughton was the opposite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 FSA represents everything that is odious in the footballing world. This may sound idealistic, but I actually watch the game to be entertained. His anti-football is an entertainment black-hole, sucking any enjoyment into its event horizon, never to be seen again. So from that perspective, it pleases me that he got sacked. Not to mention that this arrogant douchebag looks like a hybrid of Cory Haim and that flying monster from The Neverending Story. That said, their reasons for sacking him were shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
