Sam Allardyce

Who cares what players cost? It‘s funny when managers like Wilder and Allardyce moan about the cost of players.

If they had £60m to buy a player, they wouldn’t go anywhere near Cancelo as they’d have no clue what to do with him.

They'd buy 6 players who have a long throw, the best corner taker in Moldova, the striker with the most headed goals in Armenia, the tallest centre half they can find, Niko Krankjar and Peter Odenwingie.

Except when he bought in the likes of Anelka, JJ Okocha, Djorkaeff etc for Bolton

For Blackburn , Diouf, Nzonzi, Benjani, prob more I can’t think off

Us Hammers, Adrian, Carrol, Cresswell, Vaz Te, Valencia, Sakho, Jarvis, Ravel Morrison, J.Cole

Sure more for other clubs

... on a small limited budget for clubs hovering around relegation he has in his career managed to bring in some quality players

Us Hammers, Adrian, (mediocre) Carroll (failed gamble), Cresswell (decent signing, but gamble as unproven) Vaz Te (shite) Valencia (mediocre, being kind) Sakho (can’t remember this guy) Jarvis (mediocre, being kind) Ravel Morrison (gamble that paid off in 2-3 games), J.Cole (after injuries had crippled him)

Adrian - Superb keeper for us. Player of the year one season. We loved him.

Carrol - got into the England side when he was with us as he was brilliant on his day, the season after promotion he’s goals and performances more than consolidated us. At times, world class on his day, unfortunately and predictably injuries ruined his career.

Cresswell - was the championship player of the season when we signed him. How’s that a gamble ? Been brilliant ever since and probably having his best ever season right now.

Vaz Te - was his goal that got us promoted - was brilliant for us in the championship - missing the point I’m making though ,he was a tricky flair player.

Valencia - was good. Had a brilliant World Cup , skilful and quick. Again... missing the point .. these are not the type of signings that was being suggested (players that have a long throw/tall striker from a shit league etc)

Sakho - if you can’t remember him, then you shouldn’t have bothered with downplaying these players and done some research , was a very good signing for us , our top scorer for a couple years, scored the last time we beat city.

Jarvis - got into England side for us, linked well with Carrol our first season back in prem, granted he didn’t meet expectations. But again, a tricky skilful winger - not the signings you were referring too.

Ravel Morrison - pace and skill. But... allardyce only signs hoofball tall donkeys.

Joe Cole - same as above.


Whilst none of these players are on the same planet as what you are watching for City. Allardyce bought these in on a tight budget and all opposite to the signings you suggested he goes for and all had a part to play in our promotion , consolidation and getting to Europe.
 
Well we know he likes a bung, I’m going to go all out that he was bunged a few quid for this headline.

he knows what he’s doing & what possible reason could he have to be talking about us, now & what we spend.

it’s not his concern, he doesn’t play us again “ever” very curious indeed. First they ignore us all year except for blaming us for spreading Covid & then when they have to talk about us they create another narrative

Allardyce rag manager when?

(And this is an accurate description of his time with Everton - he kept us up and drew twice with Liverpool, but we were horrible to watch)

In a weird kind of way he would probably fit in at United with their sit back and hit on the break with pce philosophy.

lol

I just checked the stats on these players. I’ll stick to my initial judgement, however Sakho almost scoring 1 in 3 surprised me.

The rest of the forwards were worse.

Managers moaning about other clubs spending big money are just jealous fuckers. Pochettino - a manager I rate and like - did it at Spurs, saying that they do things differently there and implying he prefers to be at a club that doesn’t spend lots of money. And now he’s at.....errrr....PSG!

The message here isn’t for the press or for fans. It is for management/ownership and the message is “how do you expect me to compete when club xyz spends £millions.”

It’s bullshit, because the point is to figure out a cheaper way to win. Once you do that, someone will give you a longer leash.
 
Fat headed football dinosaur wanker. Heard him on Talkshite calling Pep’s style of football. Quote “All this playing out from the back is rubbish” was one that springs to mind.
Achieves the impossible and gets the England gig, but the greed that is his driving force gets him fired.

He was always banging on about teams playing out from the back whenever on there along with his oft quoted: "what's the fashion with forrin managers? If my name was Allardicio I'd get every top job going'.

A vile, narcissistic prick of a man with no redeeming features, corrupt and very bitter, no sackings were his fault it was always the club's fault for lack of foresight or wanting a 'forrin manager with a fancy name'.

Also remember his indignance at getting his speeding fine means test on account of his rather large salary meaning, in his eyes, he was being punished harder than the man on the street. Moose couldn't make him see that his fine was still less to him than a £100 one for 'man on the street'.

Warnock gets a far worse press than this guy, not sure why as off the pitch NW comes across as a nice fella unlike SA.

Typical of him was taking over at Albion then trying to get the league suspended (buy some time) as he was worried about catching Covid as he's 66 and a big fat wanker.

Vile individual
