Just out of interest all those who would not have big Sam, who would you wish to lead safc back to the premier, if and when Mr Ross leaves?
 
Regardless of your personal opinion on him, if you didn't know it was Allardyce and you just saw his managerial record, you'd have whoever it was here in a heartbeat.

He's exactly what we need.

From the US guys POV they'll be well aware of sports analytics due to it's prevalence particularly in the NFL where sport comes secondary to science. Allardyce certainly was, and maybe still is, the very best of this.

For those wondering about whether or not he'd be the right fit in the PL? He's 64, would probably only get a 3 year contract and he'd be 67 by the time it expired...he wouldn't get a second contract anyway. But he'd certainly get us to where we need to be in 3 years to kick on.

No braniner for me.
 
If he was in the new owners minds they’ll not be happy he’s in the press talking about it.
And it wouldn’t surprise me if he was the English advisor and he’d belittled the Mags while building us up.

On the pitch he wouldn’t be a problem he would walk League One. The problem would be the stupidly high agent fees and the mercenaries that down tools when the mood suits them.

It’s a different set of owners now who should refuse to pay the high agents fees if Allerdyce came along...

but he steals from us? that just cant be excused.
 
Anyone saying they don't want him back is utterly tapped. We're languishing in league 1, after our worst ever finish of all time. A premier league level manager with proven experience of the transfer market (one of our weakest links) is allegedly wanting to return. Who the hell do you think we are right now to turn that down?

Him having to leave before a pre-season game is even finished is astonishingly bad timing to be fair. He's a prick and I don't see how any SAFC fan can have any respect for him after he acted that way.

If some people had seen the skysports coverage of him at that game they’d have a different opinion of him. Dismissing bairns with a wave of his hand, fawning to the cameras, me me ME.

Then swanning off like Beyoncé or something at half time. Balls to him.

He’s after the dollars. Nothing more, nothing less.

Football has always been a corrupt sport, from the top to the grass roots, with underhand payments.

People are being naive here.

He didn't shaft us like, football fans are just fannys. Nobody would've said he shafted us, had Moyes not been so shite and Short's mismanagement finally dishing the fatal blows.

all about opinions,i think the way he went on he most certainly did,not sure where Moyes and Short comes into this like,but we all know he made things a thousand times worse
 
Cloughie is idolised on here despite being well known for taking backhanders all the while Allardyce is villified for it.

He got offered the England job whilst managing Sunderland. I don't think taking that really eqautes to a shafting unless you look at it with heavy red tinted bias.

The reason I mention Moyes and Short is because there's a sense of extra bitterness towards Allardyce due to how shit we were the next season. Had Moyes done alright, I doubt people would've said BSA had shafted us, infact I think they'd be saying he shafted himself.
