1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 are the same point rehashed, that he's tactically inept, but then, even King Keegan was often found out tactically when attack, attack, attack didn't pay off. Point 6 is just results. Why haven't you included the results against Arsenal, Villa, Everton, and West Ham (who're all above us) in the reasons to keep him? Dour 0-0 with Villa at Home, I would expect to beat both West Ham and Everton at home. The Arse game was a decent battling performance after we gave them a 1 goal start due to more comical defending. As for your comment about JUST RESULTS, isnt this a results business? Are you happy with our performances against Derby,Wigan, Sunderland,Boro plus being arse raped at home by Pompey and Liverpool? Can you see the green shoots of recovery under Sam? Are we playing well? It's a results business and the results have us higher than last year at the moment so Sam will be comfortable that he shouldn't be sacked. Playing well? No, but imagine how much higher we'll go when we hit our form, considering where we are at our worst. Are you expecting us to get better and start playing free flowing, attacking football while keeping things tight at the back or are you hoping the hump it long and get stuck in will work when we sign some cloggers and get shot of our limited amount of creative players who dont fit into fattys vision of how to play football. It may become clearer by his signings , if any, come the window. If we are linked with Kevin Davies and big,tall africans then we know what to expect

Well said

Reasons for BFSA to stay 1. He did well at Bolton Reasons for BFSA to fook off 1. We are shite, as bad as under Souness and Roeder 2. He hasnt got a clue about tactics/formations 3. His style of football is piss poor 4. He doesnt know where the players best positions are 5. Our defence is still crap despite him signing 5 defenders 6. We have dropped 5 points against Derby, lost at Wigan, Drawn to Sunderland/Boro all of who are relegation fodder

I fear the worst and think he will go for another hair-brained formation. Zoggy still at LB, Geremi/Smith/Butt clogging their way through the midfield and use the electric pace of Viduka to spring counter attacks

5th, 5th and playing decent football. He had a dodgy start to this season so he got the boot in toonesq fasion. I wouldnt complain if he replaced the clueless twat who currently picks the team

What a wanker!!!! He`s a fucking pro footballer FFS he shouldnt be out in Liverpool getting into fights when the club have a run of important games plus the small matter of his shitty on field performances, little scouse twat. I hope he gets fucked sideways. CUNT

He would inject passion and instill his will to win on some of the slackers. BFSA has been proven tacticaly inept and doesnt seem able to work with quality players, he wants cloggers and battlers. That kind of football doesnt suit our players and he cant adapt So either he gets rid of most of the team and replaces them with "his" kind of players or he gets the chop and AL is given a crack. I honestly think he would do a good job with the right team around him BS may as well be Souness or Roeder as we have not made a single step forward since Bobby left. FACT

Viduka as a lone striker Smith as a holding midfielder Continuing to pick Geremi Zoggy at left back Team creating bugger all Taking 1 point from games against Derby & Wigan Cant decide on what players he wants at C/B so he chops and changes all the time Then blames the players. The players play for the manager, it`s his job to make them play. If they dont perform its HIS fault TIME TO GET SHOT !!! There are new green shoots of recovery just more dross, piss poor tactics, odd team selections and zero football TA-TA fatty

Allardyce just said he picked a side to live with wigan as they are fighting for their lives. Shouldnt we be going to places like that, with the squad we have and letting them worry about us. Negative comments from a negative man with no idea

Hopefully the final nail in the fat mans coffin. This bollocks has got to stop, we are shite going forward with all the attacking talent we have. Sam has lost the plot and deserves a good fucking. Time to say goodbye and get a manager who can get the best out of our players, Allardyce clearly cant, the fat fuckwitt

Martins will be out when Owen is fit, Viduka has to be first choice striker and I think Smith will be used in midfield again. Shoving Oba out wide hasnt done him any favours as he blatently cant play there, its like putting Shay at left back and whinging he`s shit Martins should play as a second striker or be on the bench not shoehorned into Sam`s crappy formation which doesnt work. I`m fucking fed up with the shit served up and Fatty has to take the blame, not Oba or Barton or anyone else who performs below par, its his job to make sure everyone is giving 100%, delivering on the field and are comfortable with the system all of which they are not at the moment

I rate him highly plus he`s keeping that fat knacker Carr out of the side which is a bonus. As for Zoggy at left back all I can say its a waste of attacking talent when you consider the cloggers he`s got in midfield

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear..... A 2-2 draw against one of the shittest teams ever to grace the premiership. They have taken 4 points off us and managed to score 2 against us today which they havent managed this season, anywhere!!! Barton is fuckin shite, he was decent at city but fatty has turned him into a shit-house Rozenhal is a liability against any physical/quick players Martins out of position again looked lost, when he moved up top he did bugger all Beye looked decent again Vid pulled us out the shit How much longer Ashley will wear this shite who knows. A last minute dubious pen to beat Fulham, a last minute goal to beat Brum and a 2-2 draw against this lot. We are so far away from other teams like Pompey, Blackburn,Everton its unbelievable. We have the players to be challenging the top 6 pity we dont have the manager to do the same with his poor tactics, poor team selectons and insistance of playing certain players

I think he will give it to Owen if he`s fit, wouldnt be my choice tho`. I would go for Cacapa although his English might be an issue but you cant question his experience. Smith for his passion would be my second choice, Barton wouldnt get a sniff for me, he needs to concentrate on improving his game.

Duff---------Butt---------Zoggy-----------Milner would be my first choice when all fit. Emre hasnt done much Geremi has done less Barton needs to show a big improvement Smith is better up front I reckon Zoggy could be the answer in a creative role if we dont sign anyone for that position, Give him a chance I say

Hats off to the lads, great battling performance and not many teams will out possesion the Arse this season. Smith looked good up top and won most things pity Oba couldnt make the most of his chances. Butt did well as did Taylor, would like to see Zog on LW and Milner on RW. Still not convinced on either Geremi and Barton. The next few games will tell more of a tale than this one, also be interested if Owen walks streight back into the team when fit, I think he will.

I have a horrible feeling that we might see Ameobi starting tonight, I pray I`m wrong. A game of Sam style hoof and chase with some kicking and hacking thrown in for good measure, long throws, shite set pieces by Geremi and the lack of creativity from our midfield, Zog at left back instead of enrique and Barton doing the headless chicken should be enough to see of the league leaders with their slick interplay, great movement and tacticaly superior manager.Shouldnt it??

In any results you will be issued an annual target BUT if after 4 or 5 months you look shite and people are losing faith then you can expect the boot only football managers also get a nice wedge to go with the sack. Pure and simple Allardyce isnt showing any promise of hitting his Targets (top 6/a cup/sorting the defence) after 16 games and only playing one of the big 4, conceeding 24 goals and looking toothless upfront. Not my idea of development really, Maybe I was expecting more than a relegation fight when we got Sam

Ok, Sam has managed Bolton for 8 years, mostly in the premiership. He is a football manager, thats his trade and a bloody well paid one at that. His job is to get results and deliver silverware, which is what he was brought here to do. SO after 5 months, buying the players HE wanted, working day in day out on the training ground with them why cant he get them to perform and play football? We have a team of former, curent and future internationals like Viduka,Emre,Owen,Martins,Butt,Rozenhal,Given,Milner,Taylor,Smith,Barton,Geremi and Zoggy, the list goes on. He is working with players of considerable higher quality and potential than he ever had at Bolton and he still doesnt look like achieving anywhere near what is expected. Loses to Derby and Reading, Draws at Boro and Mackems, home hammerings by Pompy and Liverpool, aimless longballs, players out of position, defensive problems, the list goes on If any professional person took a position in another industry would they be allowed to fuck things up royaly while bleating about needing more time to do a job they have been doing successfully for 8 years, I dont think so. Why then does fatty keep insisting on more time??? I have seen what he can offer us and I dont like the look of it and things will get a shite site worse when we play Man U, Arsenal and Chelsea. People will point to our league position, look again in Febuary and if we carry on like this we will be in the bottom 6 and another season is written off

Mark Hughes only had the Wales job for a short time before joining Blackburn and look how well he`s done there with limited resources. I would like to think Shearer would have the respect of most of the players due to his record and commitment to the club and those who dont can fuck off. If the fat ozzy has a problem he should take a look what Shearer gave on the pitch, 100%. Not turn up and go through the motions like he did against Liverpool. If Sam cant hack it and we cant get a big name manager with a proven record then I would be happy with Shearer rather than another Souness/Roeder/Gullit/Dalgliesh.

Risky but a risk worth taking I think. Big Al knows whats expected and I dont think he would put his reputation and legend status on the line if he didnt think he was up to it. Put an experienced manager in a D.O.F role who Shearer could use as a sounding board and let them deal with the day to day admin crap, let Al concentrate on the players, tactics and winning games. I really wanted BS to do well but I feel very dissapointed with what I`ve seen so far. It`s his team, most of the players are his signings, he`s been coaching them for 5 months so far and they serve up drivel. I dont see any signs of things getting better so make the change NOW otherwise it`s another season written off

Care to name names? Van Gall, Hiddink or Capello would be nice (all proven winners) Obviously Mike/Mort would need to do a selling job on them. I though BS would have shown a lot more than he has in the way of tactics, motivation and team selections, he`s out of his depth,cant adapt and insists on playing hoof-ball. If people are happy with that it`s upto them but I for one am not

A bad run of results I can take BUT its the manner of our under-performances thats hard to swallow. It`s the fucked up tactics, the picking of certain players in the wrong positions and the hoofing and kick and run style of football which wouldnt look out of place in the park on a Sunday. We look a shower of shite, the only top side we have played gave us a lesson and we were lucky not to end up with a 8 or 9 goal tanning. What Arsenal will do to us on Wednesday I really dont want to think about it. Sam has been found out as a one dimensional manager, we cant play like Bolton did and he cant adapt his style/tactics. The sooner we make a change the better

When we got Big Sam I thought he would be the answer to our defensive problems, make us hard to beat and instill a winning mentality. WRONG,WRONG,WRONG OK so yesterday we looked more committed, SO WHAT. We lost to a poor performing Blackburn side and let in three goals, AGAIN 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 whatever you call it doesnt fucking work, neither does putting our most offensive midfielder at left back for fucks sake Geremi/Butt/Barton in the middle..........SHITE Whats he done to Rozenhal? Viduka on the bench and Smith up front instead?? It`s time to say our goodbyes to the fat-man, admit defeat and move on. Shearer would be a risk although was it coincidence when he was around with Roeder we went on an amazing run that got Roeder the job? If Ashley is serious about this club then he needs to put his money where his mouth is, buy some quality players and get a manager that WILL deliver
