"I thought I'd have a rest after leaving Bolton but Newcastle came in and you can't say, 'hang on, come back in six months' because the game doesn't work like that. When the opportunities arise you have to take them. "

 

Not quite Sam, but 8 months is near enough ;)

Bulls bags!! Tapped up

Well, he can have a nice long break now.

Don't try and pretend you give a sh?t about us, now the Geordis have f?cked you off.

Exactly young Garrp, he fcuking loved it when they beat us. Classless fat faced fcuker.

He'll love it even more now.

 

Contract = ?60K a week over 3 years?

 

Approximately ?9M pay off?

 

Think about it.

 

Good luck to him too. He has certainly took his opportunity and never needs to work again.

My sources tell me it's nearer ?4.5 million. Still a good payout granted, but I'm still a churlish little girl & so wish him no luck whatsover.

There's a a few things money can't buy, I know one that's alluded him.

He will come back bigger and stronger and a better Manager for the experience.

 

He will still be a success with a big club in the future.

 

PS. Its eluded.

I know of a few

 

Class, taste, a decent offspring, respect. Sure he's not bothered though.

This is the most positive we've seen you for a good while. It's just a pity you couldn't channel some of this positivity towards folk who actually give a shite about BWFC.

It's 3.9 Million after tax.

Do you really think that? my take is that he was lucky at bolton to have a fantastic scout in Jack Chapman when he retired his selection of players was very poor this has continued at newcastle where he has paid top dollar for very average players, such as smith, barton and rozenthal, add to this the dross he brought to Bolton in Cid/ Samuels and Djemalli, his only tactic is long ball and long throw ins, I think he has been found out big time, a limited manager who was in the right place (the reebok) at the right time, his career has pinnacled and for me he will never get a chance at a big club again.

That's a little harsh, and I am not one of the Allardyce apologists on here. What we achieved from 1999 onwards is pretty much unprecendented. He did run out of ideas but we maybe there is only so much you can do with such a relative lack of resources.

i'd agree with that...

 

i think Mounts has stated what he has invested in with resources...

 

I predict a wolves / burnley type club next for Sam...where i think he will get another team promoted

Absolutely f?cking bang on.

 

The last 18 months of the fat Sam era were awful to watch, even when we won.

I feel no bitterness towards the man, but I hope him and his son contract a serious illness that kills them very slowly and very painfully.

harsh on dzemali

 

if you look at the players alladyce signed over his tenure there was a lot of dross from day one, not just after chapman retired

 

he may well be a limited manager, but we're a limited club as it were

 

in the past gartside has been slated for not backing alladyce financially, some people even set up websites about this would you believe, looks though, like Phil was right all along, using players alladyce bought at newcastle as an example
