Allardyce says players moaned about fans

|

New allardyceSam Allardyce has claimed that whilst none of them would admit it, the West Ham players would sit in the dressing room under his management saying “Listen to them – never happy, slaughtering us all the time.”

And he added: “You could hear the fans behind the dugout saying”F…… get up back you northern bastard.”

Allardyce – serialising his new book ‘Big Sam’ in The Sun – takes a mighty pop at the club this morning  adding he’s lost it in a press conference snapping: “All this tippy tappy stuff and everybody going on about the right way to play. It’s a load of b…….

He discusses his departure and how he had told David Sullivan he was going to leave, how he approached the TV cameras to announce the decision to find the board had got  there the second the whistle had blown.

He said: “I don’t have to worry about the West Ham Way. I did a bloody good job at West Ham. The club is in its best shape for ages. So what exactly do the fans and board think they can achieve, Champions League football, a top six finish?”

He added that he stands by his accusation that the fans are deluded by the West Ham Way and claims it’s a millstone around the club’s neck.

    I bet a load of the players were also talking behind his back saying the fans loved it when we played attacking football but look now we are hoofing long diagonals again and squandering leads by our inability to keep posession.

    Hmm BILIC comes in and says BFS stabilised club etc not one mention of how dire the football was, and this petulant fat head still doesn’t understand. He’s making himself look like the moron we all believe he was

  • bubs says:

    He has only underlined everything the fans have said about him,
    We will explain the West Ham Way when we play his new team if he can keep his job long enough,
    How he can put his wife through years of more abuse but this time from the north,ops forgot a couple of miles up the road they hate him as well,

  • essexclarets says:

    We moaned because we were playing sh/t. What did he expect cheering, back slapping & a constant singing of “BFS claret & blue army”??

  • Boys Of 66 says:

    Im sure in a couple of years time he will be saying exactly the same about the Sunderland supporters disrespecting him & insulting him.Its what he does,nothing is ever his fault.When we lost it was never his fault,when we won he always talked about what he did to bring about the win.If his contract wasnt running down he would have been sacked in the second half of last season.3 wins from 20+ games.Does the idiot not realise he was doing sh#t.Any manager anywhere would have been getting grief in the second half of last season.Many managers have been sacked for far less than his dismal efforts.
