New England Manager?

If what I've just read is true? Sam Allardyce's reign as England boss could be over after one game.
Looks like he's fell for a press sting and totally stitched himself up

Good Day For Sam

A good day all round for big fat Sam :) West Ham win with ease to get to the Championship play off final, and Blackburn get relegated 18 months after the out of touch chicken farmers sacked big Sam when Blackburn were in the top half of the Premier league and looking up.

Big Sam's The Man

I'm warming to Sam Allardyce :)

Big Sam

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!!

Allardyce

The latest favourite for the Hammers hot seat is now Sam Allardyce.
Although I think big Sam is a good manager I'm not sure he fits with the West Ham style, but if he is the man and we go through next season with a trail of 1-0 wins and get promotion maybe we won't mind :)
Big Sam has been unfairly treated at his last two posts so I have sympathy for him, he really wasn't given a chance at Newcastle and I assume he just didn't get on with the Indian chicken farmers at Blackburn.
I don't think it's a done deal yet but he is a better choice than recent favourites Jones and Warnock, although I'd still prefer O'Neill.
