[Archived] Sam Allardyce Poll.

[den]

Just a quick simple poll.

[MCMC1875]

Lock this den - you will have pigsfeet and barcodes voting on here.

[Eddie]

I've voted yes, but the poll is a bit too simple to reflect my true feelings.

He isn't my first choice and I hope we look at other options first, but I wouldn't be unhappy if were to be appointed.

[Beta Ray Bill]

Probably a degree of 'yesness'.

He certainly wouldn't be in my top 3 realistic choices, but he'd be a better bet than a lot of other candidates.

True feelings?

I wondered about adding a "well I might if there's no-one else", or a "I'd like to put my opinion forward after the manager has been appointed" options.

It really is as simple, at this stage, as "WOULD YOU BE HAPPY IF ROVERS APPOINTED ALLARDYCE" - yes or no. No sitting on the fence really Eddie.

[broadsword]

but I wouldn't be unhappy if were to be appointed.

What are you on?

That means you would be happy with him as manager, so the simple answer to the question would be "yes", you can select that as one of the voting choices.

Bl00dy, trust a communist to make voting complicated.

And we won't even mention the implications of you voting yes.

[EwoodGlory]

All the non Rovers must be voting yes

[percy]

Voted yes.

Bilic would be my first choice, though.

The club needs stability in the premiership, which I think is something BFS could give us. Would be a smaller risk than an unproven young manager / foreign manager with no premiership experience.

If we drop into the Championship, it may well be a long, long time befire we get back (if ever).

[Al]

It's too late now but if I had thought at the time that Fat Sam was to be manager I would not have renewed my season ticket and if we play his type of football next season I will certainly not renew next year.

This is after 60 years of supporting Rovers.

[modes98]

No's taking an early lead

Where do i start my campaign to get Bilic in?

[Blackburn Ender]

36% voting yes?

That has to be a joke.

[den]

36% voting yes?

That has to be a joke.

Just shows that you don't know the mood of your fellow fans BBE.

[paul fisher]

no way the type of football his teams play is s**t

[Blackburn Ender]

Den, are you suggesting I'm taking this all too seriously?

I'll get me coat....

[yorkblues]

a big fat no for a big fat banker

[den]

Allardyce HAS made contact with Rovers over the managers job.

[Bobby G]

Too simplistic but the more I think of it the more confident I will be of "success" with him rather than someone inexperienced such as Ince, or someone with no charisma like Jewell or McLaren.

Lets be honest also last season how often did we witness DIRE FOOTBALL. Maybe it wasnt always long-ball football but it was dire and poor quite alot and we did play lots of long balls too on many occassions.

[philipl]

Voted yes on balance for a number of reasons. It was clinched by this-

I asked myself, would BFS keep Rovers in the Premier League long term?

Then, are there many other candidates I'd feel so confident about doing that?

[Hasta]

He wouldn't be first choice but there are plenty of worse and I wouldn't throw a paddy if he got it.

Therefore I'm voting neither yes or no.

[Mc Love]

I voted yes simply because there was no option for would be happy if we didnt get someone better

[b12_simon]

Utter scumbag - keep him away from my club!

I'd accept almost any manager (McClown, Coppell, Nodrog, Souness mkII, whoever) except this excuse for a human being.

[BlueMonday]

Big Fat NO!

[Mike Graham]

BFS for Rovers manager.....don't be serious, this bloke is a joke......if we go for him it would be the start of a downturn in our fortunes and some dreadful football; mind you we dished up garbage for the majority of last season with Hughes.

We are going to face a difficult few weeks with Bents, Santa and a few others being lured away by Hughes.

If BFS comes i'll loose interest straight away; can I get a refund on my ST's?

Your not moving in with him mate.

He just might be managing our football club

[kingsleyamis]

No to Allardyce!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unlike some people on here, I can't separate my principles from my support of the Rovers.

I'm just crossing my fingers that John Williams is as shrewd a judge of character as I think he is.
