triggs Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I'll be interested to see whether he picks a squad to suit his football or picks all the "stars" and tries to make them fit into his style Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Anyone see that interview with Greg Dyke on SSN? F*** me every answer was"Urghh well Urghh you will have to ask such and such about that". What qualifies these people to have these posisitions in the FA? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I'll be interested to see whether he picks a squad to suit his football or picks all the "stars" and tries to make them fit into his style That would be ironic, since I would have thought the only reason he has been given the job is because he has a football identity as opposed to Hodges and McClaren etc. He's a defensive long ball merchant, he has to stick with that otherwise what's the point?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Are they putting this off because nobody is prepared to actually write the press release? The nuclear trigger of football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Was thinking today, regardless of the lack if trophies, has Allardyce ever managed a team thats played in Europe? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Aye, UEFA Cup once with Bolton, squeezed through 3rd out of 5 in their group then went out of the last 32. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Sick of reading such bollocks like "he deserves a chance". I haven't a fucking scooby what that's based on. I can only imagine it's a cunt's term for "they have to be English and looking around, there's nobody else". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 The amount of people justifying this appointment, from the ex pros, "Sam made my fell 8ft tall", to the so called experts, to the idiot fans "Sam's done a great job at every club he's been at, much prefer him to some jolly forrin like Wenger". It's just amazing, they deserve one another to be honest, just wish it didn't effect me. Of course it won't take long before their little love in to end and the press start to fan the hate flames that'll incur. I was hoping this was just a smokescreen and someone with a clue was lined up, but obviously the FA just don't learn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 The best England have done in the past 30 years is when we had passionate players - Italia 90 and Euro 96. Maybe it's just that simple, too much flakey, snowflake, technical players and not enough Cattermoles. Getting the balance right is the tricky bit.

Tooj Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Those players had a lot more than just passion though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Those players had a lot more than just passion though. Only a few to be honest, Gazza and Shearer the stand-outs in 96 but there were loads of players better than the rest of our team across the world.

NEEJ Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Why do people/PFMs keep saying that wherever Fat Sam has been he's been 'successful'? It's an absolutely ludicrous thing to say. The bloke has done nowt but pollute English football with his stench for the past 20 years. As for Danny Mills having such a high profile within the FA, what the flying fuck, man? That was/is a disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I think Big Sam has the Charisma and persuasion skills to bring the union together for a GB team to rule the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just that simple, too much flakey, snowflake, technical players and not enough Cattermoles. Getting the balance right is the tricky bit. You can get some defensive managers who can be very successful in KO competitions, it could be argued Rafa has a bit of that about him really. The difference is, he understands the technical aspects of the game, which makes him more like the Italian coaches where movement and clever passing are crucial. Allardyce is more Sunday league football, whack it long into the corners and try and get a dead ball situation and score from a set piece. Iceland used these tactics in the Euros and did okay up to a point. But then Wales did better and they played better football with lesser players than England have got. The truth is, I've never seen an Allardyce team that plays fluent football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Listening to Radio 5 Live first thing this morning and they wheel out Custis the Sun Sports Reporter to comment on this cunts appointment. Quite unbelievable hoop licking. Like, beyond ridiculous, how much credit he was giving him. The tabloids are going to be very pro. Can only hope he gets off to a losing start and they all slowly turn. Five Live also had Dean Holdsworth (that relevance) and their senior football correspondent John Murray on, both licking his arse along with the presenters. Giving it all the 'Allardici' wank, referring to the signings of Djorkaeff and Okocha as proof that he loves flair players etc etc. It was fucking unbelievable, found myself shouting at the radio.

Well I suppose the rags can enjoy themselves for a year or two, they are the same sleazy bastards who turned on Sir Bobby despite him producing probably the best international side we ever put out on a pitch.
