Kodjias Wrist Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Yeah feel very confident with big sam. Will be interesting to see if he mixes up the squad and brings in some more direct players like carroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murraysrightplum Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Terrible. Get the best man for the job, not just the only English bloke left. the FA had an opportunity to change the way they do things and appoint someone to do things differently but no they revert to type and pick a same old same old manager. jurgen Klinsman was/is the best man for the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maybe totally wrong but he seems a bit of a dinosaur, very old school. Not going to be up to speed with the modern game or dealing with the people in it, other managers and players. Yes I know he is a club manager now, but what success or pressure has he had compared to bring the England manager. Put it this way, if 6 months ago I had heard we (Bristol City)were looking at Big Sam I wouldn't have been impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One BCFC Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Good choice for me. Done well everywhere he has gone and wont take no messing. Now lets stop pretending to play like Spain and Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Best English candidate" is an exercise in barrel scraping if ever there was one. I don't mind Allardyce but what has he won and who has he managed at the very top end of the game? Klinsmann would have been my choice. Couldn't give a monkeys what their passport says. It's 2016 and the world has moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Bladder Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Congrats to Big Sam and I genuinely mean that. I can't help it, but Big Sam having the word "lard" in his surname does make me snigger a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a lot of opinion from someone who doesn't seem to know very much about the subject in hand. You couldn't write a less accurate biography of Big Sam's credentials if you tried..!

Redrobbin Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 A morth of Kinsmann, Jose Mourinho, and a scattering of any God, Demi-God of your choosing; would not get the England squad to win anything! If we hired Derren Brown however, we may just win a coin toss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I like Big Sam. I'm not sure he's the guy to get England to the next level though. Not sure Klinsmann would've been either. I do agree the FA missed a chance to go a bit different. Could've been foreign or could've been younger. Maybe Big Sam is there to bridge that gap for two years for those younger ones to get a few more years experience. Who knows? I think Big Sam will get more out of the squad but he's not a long term answer IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco Rojo Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I feel sorry for him. (actually I feel sorry for anyone who goes for it). He's doomed to fail before he's started. Worse job in the world. Only bit of good news is that Howe didn't get it and the poison chalice didn't ruin a very promising future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 For me he is just another Hodgson. Fine for keeping average teams out of the relegation zone in the prem. Never won much though and nothing on his cv to inspire. Think he will do fine in qualifying against lesser teams but don't see him winning anything. Not sure who could though with our serial bottlers who can't cope with the pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Those on here that are slating the decision to recruit Allardyce. Who would you have got instead? Realistically? Klinsmann, who isn't going any great shakes at the USA? Who failed at other clubs, but did OK with a German side that arguably though should've done better? Glenn Hoddle, who hasn't managed in goodness knows how long and who the FA wouldn't touch anyway? Eddie Howe, who is in his thirties, failed the only time he's moved away from home and would be tainted forever were he to fail? Steve Bruce?! Give me a break..... even Gareth Southgate said no (albeit on an initial temporary basis)! So, who would it have been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
