Why our chairman will punt BFS
|
|
BFS will be gone in the summer and the majority of our support will be best pleased.
IMO there are three major reasons why he will be gone, three reasons why the Daves will be saying "Thanks but no thanks" come the end of May.
1.They can no longer trust Allerdici to keep West Ham in the premiership. As the opening of the Olympic Stadium in 2016 the Daves just cannot risk continuing with a manager who has struggled to win three games since Xmas. He now poses too much of a risk and for this reason alone they will show him the door.
2. They care what the fans think and it seems , according to a couple of recent polls, that Sam's style of football, his arrogance in continuing to play his favourites, regardless of form, and his indifference with the fan base have combined to alienate him. This will not last and late May will see the result of this as Sam gets his.
3.By performing badly since Xmas Sam has cost the owners approz 10M, which is good night out or would fund a very good player in the off season. This must offend the money conscious side of the Chairman and is the third reason he will be off come end May.
You could well disagree and I look forward to that debate. You may think of more compelling reasons and I look forward to those.
End of the day, we are much bigger than BFS, and his going will be very much celebrated.

Banjo, I agree with all your points and they are very sound.
BUT -
I just don't know how much logic can apply with those mugs in the board. The point you make about losing 10m is very good, but if that wasn't enough for them to pull the plug on the cunt then I'm not they will now or season end.
If they had sacked the mug and brought in 'anybody to be a caretaker', the team has enough talent to stay up from where we have been since Xmas so why have they stalled.
I hope you're right mate, I think your points are solid, but I fear these mugs have an agenda all of their own.
best,
Yarmouth

You could list a whole host of reasons why this arrogant man is not the man to take us forward, but to simplify it I think that the relationship between BFS and Sullivan has completely broken down, I don't believe all this 'we speak every day' nonsense, I would imagine Sullivan goes out of his way to avoid the prick, and a parting of the ways is inevitable. I sincerely hope so anyway.

Yarmouth - Not sacking him after the WBA game has turned out to be a very bad move. As I said before, it's as if they have learnt nothing from the Grant days.

Forget his arrogance and poor football.
He should be sacked because he continuously rubs and scratches his nose and twiddles his ears when being interviewed !!!!!
Slob.
That is all.

The Mirror journo that interviewed Phil Brown a few weeks back (John Cross?) was being interviewed by Keys & Gray in this part of the world last week.
He said that Brown had said to him that BFS was certainly on his way out and had already said his goodbyes to some of the staff.
Banjo - I would say your first point is the main one. BFS was always seen as a safe option to ensure Premiership football while compromising on other things. The owners see the current form and a huge concern that if it continues into next season we would be relegation candidates.

Every time I see him he looks like he knows he is on the way out. He looks bored, tired and like someone just seeing out a few more games.
Can only hope so.

The original post is right. The one thing that self made multi-millionaires hate is employees that waste money. And now even SA admits he is mystified as to how to change things so has stopped being the safe pair of hands everyone thought of him as being.
SA is just an old school English manager with old school ideas and values. I thought we, the English, had got past that kind of mediocrity after Graham Taylor picking Carlton Palmer. SA is just the same.
Players judged on physique and work rate rather than skill. A well drilled defence gets you far if you are a small club batting above your level. If you want to go further you need a manager that can do all the basics but also know how to set the team up to attack as well as defend....

Hmmm. Really?
He did it with ease this season.

He played pretty much absolutely no part in the HOTY Awards Ceremony last week... That should really speak volumes... Surely, he's on his way-out... Just 3 league wins since the New Year with some awful cunt performances further highlights that the walrus has lost it...

Were 10th - exactly where we should be with the money spent.
Since Christmas : No Andy Carroll not a lot of Sakho and a poor Valencia. Not all Big Sam`s fault.
New manager =gamble
Big Sam as manager = Premiership safety next season.
Meaning the two Daves get richer and WHUFC have even more financial stability.
No brainer (and I am not Sam`s biggest fan)
Think logically! Its a business!

Banjo you're right. The main point is that he is no longer a safe pair of hands. If we went into next season with him in charge I think relegation would be a real possibility. The way we've fallen away so dramatically since Christmas will have scared and angered the board and they will make a change. He's gone.

I never send abuse but that post below calling it a business. Yes maybe but it was a sport first, fuck off.

The Daves need to get the next appointment right. Which is probably why they haven't sacked Sam as a knee jerk reaction to fan disapproval. However the effect on all this uncertainty on player and club morale must be very damaging by now. Would have been better coming to an agreement with Sam a few weeks ago that he would be going at the end of the season and publicly announcing it rather than pretending the decision hasn't yet been made.

You think the BERKS care what the fans think?
How naive.

Why sack him and pay him compensation ?
As Penners said on another thread he should be put on gardening leave and let Sheringham see out the season.

The only compensation he would have been due was to pay his contract up, which they're doing anyway.
So people think managers get more than they would have got if they'd stayed or something?

In most walks of life, getting the sack means clearing up your desk, desperately circling newspaper ads for a new job and locking horns with your former employers for some compensation.
But as we know, Premier League football works differently. Andre Villas-Boas' sacking as Tottenham Hotspur boss on Monday is set to earn him £4million, just under two years after receiving a £12million pay-off from Chelsea.
He supposedly waived part of that when joining Spurs, but like no other, the Premier League pays, and it pays big. Or rather, the top of the Premier League pays, and it pays often.

It's not just a business... It's a religion for people whose families have supported the club since its formation...
Fans want to see their team go out there and play enertaining football every week with passion and do their best to win football matches... It's as simple as that...
Sam Allardyce isn't an advocate of entertaining football and doesn't deliver what the fans want to see... Therefore, he has to go and be replaced by a competent, proven manager who likes to play football the way it should be played...
