He won't be allowed to manage at any other club. What makes you say that? Lets say he's at a Championship club doing quite well but not being given any funds, and let's say new NUFC manager Mark Hughes is on a 10 game streak of not winning (y'know, some dodgy refs, unlucky decisions, played well but conned by the ref etc etc), what do you think the media/fan climate would be then? Also, say you were a fan of a championship side, would you want a manager that you know is only at your club to be grromed for us?

Because he was shit as well as all of the above. You have to wonder if the Barton situation had something to do with this. At Bolton, a lot of Allardyce's fuck ups were just pushed out to the back paddock so no-one would notice. I'm sorry Sam but 'because he was shit' doesn't cut it for me considering the circumstances, the statements, the initial backing and the recent transfers. I want a more accurate answer to be honest. He wasn't doing a very good job? As opposed to getting sacked for doing well?

Bit in bold and: That and he was asking for money for Nolan and Diarra. You can't tell me that even Ashley and Mort didn't notice that wasn't what we needed. Could they not have figured that would probably be his m.o. considering the wealth of example at Bolton? Why now? He has raved about Nolan for years, if they were surprised by that they want shooting.

That's press guff, there was no set budget (in the normal definition of the word not Alex's), funds were to be agreed on a player by player basis, as targets were proposed by Sam. Unless of course as I've said up there, everything coming out of the club is never to be believed.

Let's get this straight, this was a rushed decision which BSA was clearly unaware of, so it begs the question, what exactly happened to prompt this decision right now? Ashley got fed up and snapped when confronting Sam over football style? Mort/Ashley proposed some outside help for Sam and he took the huff? Sam asked for Nolan? A top class manager that would blow Ashleys socks off has give us the nod? They were planning it all along and all press and club actions up to now were lies, damn lies? Something bung related? Anything else?

This doesn't say he's out the running, remember are about to go through the proper channels.

This.

The usual shite abouth how Sam never bought creative players. Lazy critics my arse.

Post your test questions.

Watch it happen erm

Anymore of that and there will be a ban coming on. Prick. Goddam son of a bitch mother fucker.

Hughes and Redknapp would be ridiculous, because at the end of the day, apart from this mystical 'brand of football' (as if they both haven't presided over awful teams before), then not a single anti-allardyce argument regarding experience, achievements, etc etc cannot be applied to these two either.

Parky changed his tune, he's all for change now.

Exactly my point, the lawyer he's using charges £10k a day. Why? I could understand if he had run someone over.

When you scratch below the surface, even that was a bit of a dodgy state of affairs.

That is the current consensus I believe.

Definitely. Pretty boy is on the up I tell you.

With all the shit and abuse this job entails, would anyone but a dyed in the wool geordie really be that upset about leaving? Or want the job in the first place? Some undoubtedly start out thinking they can tame the beast. Arrogance? Stupidity? Some like Souness just find themselves in last chance saloon thinking christmas has come early.

Or, if you tell enough lies, some of them will come true. If his finger is on the pulse, how come Taylor was on the back page today? Monkeys and typewriters. you mean those who said the fat bastard was the only chairman who ever sacked managers at "bad times", with no replacement, and let the press tell him he'd lost his job ? Welcome to the real world. I hope to see them matching those champions league qualifications soon, and backing their manager like the old board did, Alternatively, if they don't back their manager, you'll realise I'm right whichever way you look at it, when you are watching a team of 2m johnny averages. Outstanding. I was nowhere near making a reference to anything you've just mentioned, but you segued it in anyway.

And taking all our fancy backroom team with him, leaving us with Pearson and Terry Mac.

Souness, Allardyce, Bond, McKay, Boumsong, Shepherd, Hall...Redknapp? Are we determined to employ EVERY suspect in the bung enquiry? You're either in the circle of trust, or you're out.
