As football fans, the least we should expect is to try and win games. Allardyce often surrendered before we took to the pitch, that’s criminal for me and is the reason why we used to take less than 500 to City, Utd and Liverpool. It’s all about opinions of course K-Hod.

You have to wonder why Souness and Hughes are held in such high regard, we massively punched above our weight, yet Allardyce divided the fan base and is despised by many. Souness and Hughes are winners, they created a winning mentality, we tried to beat the big boys in their own back garden, we tried to win cups and qualify for Europe. Allardyce was all about survival, don't bother with the cups and surrender to the big boys, especially away from home, one point above the relegation zone is all that matters and thats the reason why he's never won a thing, he's a loser.

Absolutely not Asia. But I'll tell you one thing, if the BBC had accused me and my son of taking bungs, when we hadn't, I'd sue the arse of them to clear my name. His ego is massive, this time consuming process is bullshit, he knew he couldn't win, they had him bang to rights and thats without Gael Givet and his brown envelope. 2 primetime TV programs exposing his dodgy dealing and an uncontested sacking from the England job after 67 days in charge, tells you all you need to know in my opinion.

Allardyce never sued the BBC despite all his bluster after they accused of him of taking bungs, I wonder why? If I was accused of taking bungs I'd want to clear my name, as everyone would, but not the multi millionaire Sam Allardyce, strange that......

Absolutely spot on BRFC4EVA

A blast from the past, great tune, good band.

This isn't doing my ticker any good, 3 needed and a bleedin run out.....

This is down to Venkys arbitro and Venkys alone. Nobody can sell training grounds without the owners approval, nobody can sack managers and CEO’s without the owners approval and nobody can sell players without owners approval. Nothing goes on at this club without owners approval despite what posters on here would have us believe. Are you the only man aside from Pasha that has a line into Pune? That’s a big statement Rev?

Sam Allardyce was exposed in all his glory when he was forced to resign from the England job, practices that were detrimental to any football club he'd managed, I'll leave the rest to your imagination, not what we want at our club. The part I've highlighted above is an extremely valid answer to the question posed, we had billionaire owners, promising big signings, big budgets and European elite level players, a very rational answer to promises made. I'll also remind you the fans never sacked Allardyce, the owners did. The rest of your post I whole hearted agree with. Venkys out.

77-7 😥

Venkys never will Simon (Agnew, Shaw, Singh, Waggot, Kean, Appleton, Berg, Bowyer, Lambert, Coyle and Mowbray) You've always been a staunch supporter of the Venky regime, I don't know anyone else that falls into that category, your loyalty has been unwavering. Why is that?

Can anybody name one thing that has improved under Venkys tenure? They appoint these people (Shaw, Agnew, Singh and Waggot)?

Neil joined Norwich in January 2015, they'd been relegated the season before having spent 3 years in the top flight, they were flush with Premiership money and had good players on big wages. They went up through the playoffs in May 15 and came straight back down again. Thats his only achievement to date, hardly spectacular really when you put it into context. The first time he had to manage with limited resources he failed at Preston, why would he flourish here? Don't get me wrong tomphil, I understand the sentiment, I agree with you in the main, but if anyone is going to push this club forward it needs to be someone with a proven track record, or someone leftfield, not a manager like Neil who has just failed miserably 10 miles down the road.

Forest only had one target and they got him - Steve Cooper.

The only thing that fits perfectly well with my opinion and views is we need to get rid of the owners, you'll catch on one day Rev. Wilder is a manager that gets the blood going, but he's way beyond the abilities of Waggot and Venkys, I'd be surprised if they even know he's on the market we're that far dumbed down these days. As for Neill, he's just been sacked from Preston.......I'll let that settle in for a minute, Preston........Abject failure in anyone's book, is that actually the height of your ambition Rev?

The managerial bar is lower than I can ever remember it, all this talk of Neill and Hughton - Both abject failures whilst working under similar circumstances as Mowbray, why on earth would we want either of those 2 here? I get the Wilder links, but I fear he's beyond on means, but these 2? doesn't make sense, you're replacing one failure with another.

Hampshire are 64-4 at lunch in the country championship at Liverpool. Now 75-6

Lets face it, the place needed a makeover in all departments! Hopefully the new management will be able to attract trade outside of football days to make the place profitable. I wish them well.

Ooooo I do like to be beside the seaside, oooooo I do like to be beside the sea...... Fantastic away support.

With the greatest of respect, chaddy wasn’t the originator of this discussion, he’s clearly new to IPtv and was asking a perfectly valid question. You’ve jumped all over him, which is poor J*B to be frank, he was only asking a question.

The writing by John Sullivan was just tremendous CB, sadly another one no longer with us.

John Challis has died, he played Boycie in Only Fools and Horses, one the best British comedy’s ever. RIP

Never saw him play myself, can you compare him to any of our strikers over the past 30yrs Jim?

To be fair SG, I’ve been to Anfield, City and Everton under Allardyce with less than half the number that went to Oakwell yesterday. That’s a good following and I salute everyone who went.
