Irons fans react to Allardyce’s “insults” outburst

|
  • Sam-Allardyce-edited1_2519771Sam Allardyce has been reported in the Sun as saying his wife Lynne was upset by the insults he suffered at the hands of West Ham fans websites when he was at the club.
    He added: “It’s nice to be loved. But at West Ham and at Newcastle I was faced by passionate fans that made themselves heard if they weren’t happy.“It wasn’t just me at West Ham, it was every manager that was there. I got it because I was the manager at that time but before that they moaned about Avram Grant, Alan Curbishley, Alan Pardew and Harry Redknapp — look at Alan Pardew now and how his career has transformed.“They gave him a hard time at Newcastle and he moved to Crystal Palace where the fans love him and the turnaround has been scary.”And the fans have been quick to react on ths ClaretandHugh facebook site @ https://www.facebook.com/groups/363174467150521/714186225382675/?comment_id=714234222044542¬if_t=like.Here’s a selection of quotes from them:

    Dean Marsh Oh dear…he’s still moaning about us though, even though he has not missed our moaners lol

    Stephen Smith Is he saying Sunderland fans aren’t passionate?

  • Dave Goodger
    Dave Goodger Stop picking at the scab. He’s gone. Let it go. He did a good job but it was right that he left. All this story says it that his mrs read websites like this and got upset. Nothing in the story slags us off. Just let him be.

    Carol Combes Maybe you should send that to Sam? He’s the one moaning (again!) about our fans!
    Anyone would think he’s got a book to flog!

    Stephen Smith I am sad that his wife was offended by some of the fans’ posts. However, I feel more sorry for her that she is married to Sam! Nobody deserves that!

  • Carol Combes
    Carol Combes Goes with the Managers job, these days.Either get a better husband, or find the ‘off’ button!

  • Stephen Smith
    Stephen SmithIt would be refreshing if he actually had something positive to say about West Ham and its supporters. I guess we have to take ‘passionate’ as some kind of back-handed compliment!

  • Darren Dilliway Just as well she hasn’t seen the fake twitter account then!! grin emoticon

  • Stephen Smith
    Stephen Smith Sounds like he is still nursing a bruised ego!

  • ironswatch says:

    i would not want to give him the time of day just take no notice off the bitter ****er at the end of the season we can all laugh at him

  • slaven a laugh says:

    rediculous comments. How can he say we moaned about Avram grant? Ridiculous. And who says pardew wasn’t appreciated by Newcastle fans as much as he is by crystal palace? Complete nonsense.

  • WestGoaHam says:

    Mrs Hippo shouldn’t read the news. I would worry if nobody was talking about me.
    Won’t be long……

  • essexclarets says:

    I would have thought there would be at least 12 million reasons why this slimy fat fk should be a little more gratefull towards his ex-employers.
