Advocaat has no more than three days preparation for Saturday's match. My concern is which man will look like a 'dick' at the final whistle. The 67 year old dickosaurus or the youthful samosaurus?

Advocaat is interim to the end of the season.
Dick may be withdrawn after that

I would have no problem with a club advising a player that his advisor wasn't doing him any favours and suggest a range of possible alternatives.
'Pressure' to use one (who is YOUR advisor) isn't acceptable

Are we also not forgetting Allardyce's public statement that he had instructed his lawyer to sue the BBC over the 'bung' allegations. He failed to do so, and his son quietly disappeared from the scene at Bolton.

They were trying to get him to change agent because - and you'll be stunned to hear this - Morrison's agent is a complete cunt. That is not the kind of influence another complete cunts needs.

The 'court of law' line is an odd one to take given the other half of Willtell's post

Are you saying its not true?
Seems an odd thing for Morrison to throw at Allardyce as a criticism.
Given he is a bit thick I'd imagine his beefs would be a bit less esoteric than pressure to use an agent.

So we are really going to take the words of a little shit called Morrison, with a criminal record, who was caught in flagrante stealing a pc projector from the tactics room at Chadwell Heath?
Somehow in a court of law, I think anything he said would be dismissed instantly and struck off the record

Nearly a scoop but Dick Advocaat an anagram of Sam Allardyce I'm sure

SA has as bad a reputation as Harry Redknapp for taking back handers Billy. Sam's son was caught in a BBC Panorama programme sting for taking bribes on behalf of his dad.
The final report of the Stevens inquiry published in June 2007 expressed concerns regarding the involvement of Craig Allardyce in a number of transactions. "The inquiry remains concerned at the conflict of interest that it believes existed between Craig Allardyce, his father Sam Allardyce—the then manager at Bolton—and the club itself."
In February 2014, Daniel Taylor, chief football writer for The Guardian and The Observer, wrote that West Ham player and England prospect Ravel Morrison felt he had come "under considerable pressure" from Allardyce to sign up with football agent Mark Curtis, who represents Allardyce himself and a number of other West Ham players, e.g. Kevin Nolan, James Tomkins, Jack Collison, Matt Jarvis, Andy Carroll, Jussi Jääskeläinen.
Agent Curtis had been charged and eventually cleared by the Football Association during the 2008 investigation into Luton Town's illegal transfer dealings.
No proof he's taking bungs but questions on SA's integrity have some foundations in fact...

Or we let Sam go and move on as so many fans want. David Moyes is not an exciting choice but we need to be realistic.
We've had the years of being a soft touch, the downers of relegation and perennial struggle. I do feel that whoever the next manager is we do not want to return to the soft touch days.
We are a mid table side looking to challenge for European football and Moyes has an almost continual record of doing exactly that on more limited resources at Everton than he will get at WH.
Moyes is the next logical step up on SA. Safe hands but capable of more imo...

If we win all the remaining matches 3 or 4 nil with heavy use of the youth, who post pitches of themselves wanking over Sam's picture each night saying he truly is the man.......then we probably should keep him and get behind him.

Although the type of club coming in for him should be a clear sign of the level the entire football community think he operates at.

Kumb have run a story that both Sunderland and QPR are interested in Sam at the end of the season and West Ham have made it clear that they can speak to him providing a formal approach is made.
Downside for me is that it's possible the only thing that keeps him here is us winning a few of our remaining fixtures.

BFS won't go there b4 the end of the season, they are going down - look at their fixtures -= they need at least 12 points to survive, they'll be lucky to get 6. If BFS goes it will be if he gets let go end of May. Then he can "rescue" them from the Championship
SUNDERLAND
West Ham (Away) - March 21 - NO POINTS
Newcastle (Home) - April 5 - 1 POINT
Crystal Palace (Home) - April 11 - NO POINTS
Stoke (Away) - April 25 - NO POINTS
Southampton (Home) - May 2 - NO POINTS
Everton (Away) - May 9 - NO POINTS
Leicester (Home) - May 16 - 1 POINT
Chelsea (Away) - May 24 - NO POINTS
* Arsenal (Away) - Date to be arranged - NO POINTS

BFS to Sunderland, hahahahahaha
I see all the usual suspects are amongst the favourites though, Redknapp, Laudrup, McLaren and Hoddle, although Advocaat is the bookies favourite.
BFS is 20/1, mind you so is Ally McCoist FFS
Mind you i dont really give a fuck, but BFS, hahahaha
