Sam Allardyce...legend

[jevs]

West Ham chairman David Gold was on talksport yesterday. He quoted

Sam is a skilled manager and tactician. What he achieved at Bolton was key in employing him. Was worried about the style of football Sam would play but Sam has reassured him he will play the right football to win the football match. If he thinks long ball is required, he will play long ball.

Long ball football is shit.

There's no rush mate, Gus's style will pay off eventually. You can't rush genius. Gus is a genius.

When Nolan is more than likely on the wages of about half of our ENTIRE squad

Pretty football? I didn't see any pretty football from Brighton.

I saw lots of passing it across the back and one shot on target from a half chance.

Similarly, I don't see any long ball football from West Ham - I see percentages football. Totally different concept.

Exactly.

Imagine if we could afford anyone and Gus bought in all the players he truly wanted. We would be unbeatable. (after a few defeats and a draw or two!)

League 1 team with a few additions= 10th

I think where you are is because of the quality you have in your side and the reality is with a better manager you would be walking this division.

It's a shame that a club with such a tradition of playing the game the right way has been reduced to a Bolton style of play.

Am sure you will go up without any problems but beyond that not sure big Sam will be the answer

He has quality players who will make it work but, just as when he was at Bolton, Allardyce's "shrewd tactics" are to employ the long ball from kick off to final whistle in every game. If it's what you want to watch then fine. It's not guaranteed to succeed as many managers at all levels can attest but when it's done well it is effective and if all you want is a result then enjoy. I've been a fan for enough years and I am sufficiently unpartizan to actually prefer to watch a passing game and take pleasure in the football as well as the outcome

[Sitch]

Lets be honest, it's winning them games and that's all that counts for now, it's not the most entertaining football but it's got them in second.

It's a nothing comment really - you win by what ever means necessary , every team know that - work out the Opposition and find the way to beat their play.

Nothing to do with income is it, football I mean?
