Sam Allardyce: Epitome of why English football has lagged behind

We all know that. It's Jose you should be confronting, with that little nugget ;-)

Leave him to his inadequacy, he's giving us a chance to surpass the rags financially.

Kind of true, but when you've got players of a reasonable level always making mistakes, reducing the mistakes and the risk is surely going to make them better

Pep and peg are both all about reducing risk but in different ways. Peg reduces risk of making mistakes bb playing anti football, pep reduces risk by creating spaces and passing zones that give us the overload on attack and defence . I know which I prefer but they both have the same aim

Makes me laugh the abuse he gets for being fat. Especially when half the fans abusing him are fatter

It is a bit rum rum actually. He's a big fella anyway, but does carry a bit of timber. However, Steve Bruce......now he's a fat bastard.

Guardiola reduces risk by improving players.

Football is about excellence not mediocrity, about achieving not avoiding failure.

It's an achievement for a team to stay up when they're expected to go down isn't it?

I don't think it's a coincidence most elite managers are in decent shape

Yep. Fair dues to him for Sunderland. Bolton ran themselves into debt though and went down and I doubt anyone ever expected Everton, West Ham and Newcastle to go down.

Vaz Te, K.Nolan, Noble, Green, Reid, McCarthy, Diame, C.Cole and many many more all improved and excelled as players under him

And how many of these players have moved on and excelled at more "prestigious" clubs?

Bolton didn't go down with Alardyce in charge.

Most of the debt was incurred after he left.
