Yep we've had a few sliding doors moments owa the years but this is one of the biggest for meI still wonder what would be if Big Sam stayed instead of taken the England job.
Hard to say, but we would have been nowhere being relegated that season.
I'll never forget walking away from that Everton game after sealing our safety and sending that lot down.I still wonder what would be if Big Sam stayed instead of taken the England job.

He actually said the opposite, but it's easy to say that in hindsight. I agree he would have walked. There were rumours of it before the end of the previous season, fiddled by Allardyce himself.Seem to remember Big Sam saying he would have left us anyway as him and Short had different ideas on the club.

In what sense?Allardyce is a charlatan
When is it that in the clip?Most interesting part when they asked o shea if he’d been interested in our managers job ‘of course but he’d spoke to Mowbray when he joined Birmingham and he’d told him model was just kids to be signed etc’ Allardyce and him just shook their heads Allardyce commented with ‘what, really oh dear, why’
Seems Speakman and KLD’s utopia vision isn’t shared by many else
Allardyce and Short still hadn't agreed the transfer budget when he left. He left on 22nd July.
You could argue he was distracted by the England talk, but for context - at the time of the Iceland game - Stoke were the only other club who hadn't actually made a summer signing, let alone agreed budgets. We also know 16/17 was the season Short started to pull the plug - for all we went on to spend decent money on Ndong and Djilibodji, they were signed specifically because we could pay next to nothing up front and spread the rest on the never never.
He would have walked after the start of the season imo.

He’s only ever into something for his own benefit, he’s quite prepared to go down unethical paths to achieve success all with maximum financial gain of course.In what sense?
I fully expected us to follow on from that great escape and be ok. He's certainly would have done better than moyles , absolutely certain of that.I still wonder what would be if Big Sam stayed instead of taken the England job.

I also wonder whether England would have done better had Sam stayed. Would he have done better than Southgate ?I still wonder what would be if Big Sam stayed instead of taken the England job.

Plus the club was already in a state of total shambles behind the scenes. We'd have struggled badly that season with Allardyce, or anyone else we could have realistically attracted, in charge but there'd have been plenty of managers out there who would have had us putting up more of a fight than that twat Moyes managed.He wasn’t happy about certain things at the club before the England job came up though, so I don’t think he’d have lasted long anyway.
