So within hours of Big Sam Allardyce finally agreeing to be the new Hammers manager news comes through that Malaysian Lotus boss Tony Fernandes is back in the running to buy the club.I imagine Allardyce must be wondering if this will be the third time in 3 years that he'll be booted out by new owners?
As soon as Fat boy Ashley took over Newcastle Allardyce was on his way, and after 2 reasonable seasons at Blackburn the new Indian owners took an instant dislike to him and he's been on the dole ever since, now he gets himself a new job and it's a possibility that it could all happen again.
None of my Hammer supporting mates seemed over the moon about the news of Sam's appointment but we all seem to be saying the same things "at least it's not Dave Jones" and "he'll probably tighten up our defence" so reserved judgement on this one :)
I think he's a good manager and should be able to get us back in the Premier league, but not sure if he's ever going to be better than a mid table obscurity type, and his cup record is terrible, usually fielding weakened sides which won't please us cup run loving Hammers fans!!
I wonder what football big Sam will bring to "The Academy" There is definately worse managers about than him though. Personally,I wish you'd kept Grant :)
