Big Sam

[I should coco]

Love him or loath him, you can’t argue with his record of keeping teams in the division.

Yeah, really well researched article that.

Some of these people really shouldn't hold down proper jobs.

 

[Silent Blade]

So? Because he didn't get Halifax Town relegated that means he'll keep us up?

Big Sam relegated with Notts County in 1997

 

[Montymagic]

Not the best journalism, but when is there ever.

Still not bad having just one relegation over his career to date to be fair.

If the prince had sacked wilder or he walked we could have done worse if we went with him(possibly have kept us up) and as a few have said just a temporary stop gap and leading to more managerial merry go rounds.

Still praying that wilder gets his head in gear.

 

[mr glossop]

I hope West Brom get relegated after this decision-Big Sam don't make me laugh hoofball shite and don't think Kevin Davies is still available

 

[Montymagic]

Worry is, what if big Sam was the best target on the princes hit list should wilder go....

 

[DaleHillBlade]

He's wba manager now. Never ever ever had a relegation from the premier League. Football is shite.. but fuck it, if it gets results and ensures that 100m at the end of the season I can see why struggling teams take him.

Results and the rewards that follow? Yes, that’s what league football is about.

 

[mr glossop]

He never was

Whaaaat.. really?

 

[DaleHillBlade]

Whaaaat.. really?

So I understand from the way we celebrated promotion to Premier League and the financial security it gave us. Even the dreams of qualifying for Europe. Please explain why winning isn’t the aim.

 

[ancientblade]

Feel the same. Wouldn't want him here but think West Brom have a better chance of staying up now.

i dont think west brom have any chance of staying up even with big sam

 

[Bartleby]

i dont think west brom have any chance of staying up even with big sam

i think they had one anyway with bilic and will continue to have one with fat sam and his "survival blueprint"

 

[JackSUFC]

Big Sam don't make me laugh hoofball shite

It’s not that I don’t disagree with you but he does have a proven track record of keeping teams up.

Also we’ve played ‘hoofball shite’ under Wilder for a while now, so I don’t see how that can be a stick to beat Allardyce with.

In all honesty, I couldn't pick the teams above us that will end up in the bottom 3 and WBA have as much as a chance as anyone above us of finishing 4th bottom? The new manager will get them hard to beat and will probs draw a few, whilst also nicking one or two games to give them a fighting chance of survival (the approach that we should have taken a few games ago).

Yeah to be fair it is BT Sport.

 

[SwindonBladeJnr]

The point is you said you wouldn't want Allardyce because of the Telegraph sting, and I'm saying that would you have turned Clough down to manage us because of the Bung scandal.

The point is, you're logical reasoning skills are appalling and you should give it a rest.

burnley and brighton will survive it will be united west brom and fulham

Could be? WBA and Fulham will keep fighting though, one with money to spend in Jan (Fulham will probably give it a go then) and WBA will probably go a 451 type of formation, hard to beat and could nick a few wins here and there? Don't write these teams off yet, both still in it.

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

And then the following 97/98 season Big Sam absolutely smashed the third division with them breaking 100pts. They did play a very direct style.

So transparent it’s unreal

Get over yourself, born in my parents first house actually on John Street, both me and dad have been lifelong, just don't go with not saying what I and many think at present.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Love him or loath him, you can’t argue with his record of keeping teams in the division.

I bet he’s never kept a team with 1 point from 12 games up though. No one could.

 

[Prem owner needed]

Get your tongue out of Wilder's arse for once and look at reality.

 

[The Bear]

So is Neil.
He's done it with us 20 years ago.
Thank god he's not being mooted now.

Except in the PL. Everyone has gone down.

At the moment we're doing neither.

Interesting tactics today. 6 4 0 - should we try it

Looks he changed to that 2nd half

 

[dublin 10 blade]

Looks he changed to that 2nd half

Sorry mate missed first half
Score early against this set up and they have no answer ,
They will get chances but it’s fucking awful football to watch
And won’t keep em up either
