LEROY tells Daves: Release Sam NOW!
Yesterday’s performance at Manchester showed me that Sam Allardyce looks to have reached the point of no return and as a result the two Davids should thank him for his service and part company.
The season is limping towards the most depressing climax possible and all of Sam’s body language looked like that of a man who may be going through the motions.
Such has been the discussion about his future it can hard;ly be any wonder if he feels that way as the message is now firmly out there that it’s all over. Given the results since Christmas is that any wonder?
I’m sure his situation is getting to the players and what we need now is a caretaker boss with the players wondering whether there’s a possible future boss watching from the stands.
That will immediately wind them up to better performances and if it doesn’t then we don’t want them at the club anyway.
At the moment things are hopeless. The manager looking as if he’s off, the team not looking like a team and the best fans on the planet being sold short.
Yesterday’s performance at Manchester City was very poor. Here they were playing a team short on confidence and form yet they were simply brushed aside.
I’m sure they were interested but quite honestly it didn’t look like it for long periods! Something NOW has to change.
As the chief pundit/analyst of this site there’s something else I want to say. The result of our poll today shows that 87 per cent want a change of manager.
There’s many who have tried to dub ClaretandHugh an anti-Sam site. Having known the site owner a lot of years I’d put it another way – it’s an honest site which is why I came to work for it.
I’m certainly not anti-Sam. I think he is a very good manager who will have no trouble finding another club but I don’t think he’s the right man to take us to the next level.
He’s done a very good job but doesn’t look like the guy to take us to the Olympic Stadium and beyond, so rather than let things limp on, lets put everyone – including Sam -out of their misery and call it a day.
Tomorrow I will let you know who I think should take over!
