What did you expect Allardyce to do in his short time here? Win the f***ing league? He came in with 3 points from 8 games and a squad that wasn't his (and was pretty shit and no clue what they were doing). He bought players in the window which made our team far better and we survived. I do think if he had of stayed he would have outperformed Bruce (who I don't think is a bad manager (just shit training)) and built on the team he was creating. Bruce cannot help himself creating teams and then ripping them apart so he can go on a spending spree again, till it falls apart.
Where else has he done that?
Never really took much interest in his career and not bothered to analyse his transfer dealings vs performances
