HawK Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I don't mind Fat Sam as a manager and was disappointed when he got himself sacked off the England job. I view England as the Stoke of world football and I think we need an appropriate manager. I was even a bit disappointed when he got sacked at Newcastle, but obviously over the moon when we got Keegan in. Glad someone mentioned Big Sam first Yeah, I was one of the few who was a bit gutted when Ashley sacked him. Was happy when he came in from Bolton and - ok we lost to Derby - but we weren't in particularly bad form.

afar Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Well I thought at the time the sacking was a little premature, and was very impressed with his first press conference and of course starting the season with good away win. I wonder where we would be now if Ashley had realised how much of a perfect fit the Fat headed git is for his idea of how to run a football club.

HaydnNUFC Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Can't wholly remember (only real memory of Allardyce as our manager was the toxicity of the atmosphere in the 0-3 humping at SJP off Liverpool) but my dad absolutely hated him to the point of jacking the season ticket when he was appointed. Bought a half season ticket after Keegan's appointment, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Most people were actually fairly disappointed when he was dismissed, including me (check the thread on here). Fog cleared once I saw the tune Keegan ended up getting out of the same players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 "We're shit and we're sick of it" was the song the fans sung during Allardyce's time at NUFC. He bought a lot of passed it players too.

Twinport53 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I remember thinking we'd have a decent season after beating Bolton on the opening day 3-1 and Oba scored that funky overhead kick. I think we were unbeaten until Kenny Miller lasered that shot over Harper. Oh well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Redknapp laid the foundations for Poch, when Harry met Levy was the sliding doors moment for Newcastle and Tottenham. That's obviously not particularly true. The different trajectories of the two clubs since that time are entirely due to Ashley's ownership of NUFC - and by contrast, Levy's savvy but ambitious operating of Spurs. The managerial appointments are mere footnotes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I'm not sure those stats are really backing up your point very well. I see that he has 22 CL goals over the past three years, that he has scored against PSG, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Juventus, in addition to scoring plenty against everyone else. He's quite clearly a world-class striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Yeah I'll be honest I'm not seeing the negatives here. His record for Poland has also been ridiculous for the past 5 or so years (32 in 36). EDIT: Remove friendlies and it's 27 in 34. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
