Given that Fat Sam has managed both Bolton and West Ham it's perhaps understandable that SpiritofBurnden and HammerMark are fighting his corner. Maybe there's a few of us that would do the same if someone started bad-mouthing Stuart Pearce, or Peter Reid (not me, personally!). But I don't understand why you are both so vociferous in your defence of him on a City forum. You're on a hiding to nothing because most of us cannot stand the man. And as football fans we are not in the minority, the average fan who supports neither Bolton nor West Ham has any time or respect for Allardyce - in fact, even a lot of fans of the clubs he's managed in the past dislike him.
Trying to convince us that Sam Allardyce is (or was) a great football manager is as futile an endeavour as I think I've ever known.
I doubt you'd find a single City fan who'd support Pearce, he drove enough fans away!!
