There's a pattern in his record, he secures stability (If you can call it that) but everyone gets pissed off after a while of his shit tactics. "Following Dick Advocaat's departure, Sam Allardyce has been appointed as the new Sunderland manager. Allardyce has a wealth of Premier League experience with Bolton, Newcastle, Blackburn and West Ham - but is he the right man to turn Sunderland's fortunes around? Here, we take a look at his managerial experience in the top flight Allardyce enjoyed the best spell of his managerial career after winning promotion to the Premier League with Bolton in 2001. The Trotters narrowly avoided relegation in their first two seasons in the top flight, but it wasn't long before they started punching above their weight. Allardyce developed a knack for bringing the best out of aging stars such as Yuori Djokaeff and Jay-Jay Okocha, and Bolton's direct, physical style made them a nightmare to play against. Allardyce's side finished in the top eight for four consecutive seasons between 2003 and his departure in 2007, reaching a League Cup final and the knock-out stages of the UEFA Cup in the process. His achievements saw him touted as a candidate for the England job in 2006. Newcastle Allardyce ended his long stay at Bolton in 2007, citing a desire to win silverware as he signed a three-year contract to take over at Newcastle. After a busy summer in the transfer market, Allardyce kicked off his tenure with a 3-1 win over his former club. The Magpies went unbeaten in Allardyce's first five games, but things soon started going downhill. Poor results and an unattractive playing style made Allardyce an unpopular figure with Newcastle supporters, and the under-fire manager was sacked after just eight months in charge following a run of two wins from 13 games. "It was a shock, I didn't expect it," said Allardyce at the time. Blackburn After almost a year out of work, Allardyce succeeded Paul Ince as Blackburn manager in December 2008. He steered Rovers to a comfortable 15th-placed finish that season, and in his first full campaign in charge, Blackburn finished 10th and also reached the semi-final of the League Cup. Allardyce was widely ridiculed for suggesting he was "better suited" to managing the likes of Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea or Manchester United in 2010, but his sacking in December that year when Blackburn were sitting 13th was greeted with widespread surprise. "Not in my wildest dreams did I see this coming," said former Blackburn captain Ryan Nelsen. "Nor did anyone else because of the job he has done since he has come to Blackburn." West Ham West Ham appointed Allardyce following their relegation to the Championship in 2011. He led them back into the Premier League via the play-offs, and they finished 10th in their first season back in the top flight. Despite stabilising the club, however, Allardyce came under fire from West Ham fans and pundits for his tactical approach. Allardyce had promised to resurrect "the West Ham way" following his appointment, but he adopted a typically direct style in favour of the attractive football supporters wanted. That appeared to be changing as they started the 2014/15 season strongly, but their form deteriorated in the second half of the campaign and Allardyce left at the end of his contract following a 12th-placed finish. Comparison So how does Allardyce's record compare to his Sunderland predecessors? Allardyce's has overseen 437 Premier League games in total, winning 148, drawing 120 and losing 169 and giving him an overall win percentage of 33.9 per cent. By contrast, Gus Poyet only had a 23.3 win percentage in his 60 Premier League games at the helm, while Dick Advocaat was down on 17.7 per cent for his 17 games in charge."

I read on another forum : "If we sign Nolan I will never step foot in the SOL ever again". 😂

The thing is you totally misunderstood the point of me posting that article and then proceeded to ignore all the relevant points after it. Let me put it in simple terms. I was highlighting the government's ridiculous relationship with Saudi, yes it has been like that for over a decade. It's a disgrace. That doesn't excuse this government. The hypocrisy of this government to attack Corbyn while they back Saudi is ludicrous, but money talks. A "Selective Moral Compass" is in full effect here.

I think it's CT's flagrant ignorance of the truth that winds people up on here, and not the verbal diarrhoea he regurgitates on a daily basis.

I'm making solid points about current UK and Global affairs, looking for some opinions on them. In no way am I pandering to CT's cuntish tones.

Shit football for a shit club. You have to commend their optimism but Fat Sam is tactically limited and plays what I would call "Anti-football".

How is it nothing to do with Cameron either? The UK has just held the biggest global arms fair there is, yet Corbyn is the terrorist sympathiser! Take your blinkers off you ignorant clown. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/the-more-appalling-the-human-rights-record-the-better-the-customer-at-londons-arms-fair-today-10500389.html

How Cameron can stand and call out Corbyn over a very fair point, yet in another room he's in bed with Israel and Saudi, Saudi supporting terrorism in Yemen and beyond, is massively hypocritical and unbelievable really. He also Supported Saudi on the UN human rights council, one of the most inhumane civilised countries in the world. http://www.mintpressnews.com/wikileaks-exposes-secret-deal-to-get-saudi-arabia-on-un-human-rights-council/210117/ None of this CT will answer though, because it didn't happen in his sordid little world.

I thought you would be towing the party line. A conservative just can't help themself. You poor cunt. A Tory's utter refusal to give real answers to questions just adds to their maladroitness. http://theantimedia.org/watch-journalist-force-david-cameron-to-explain-his-support-of-saudi-arabia/

Tiote needs to be put back in, he adds bite in the midfield and that defence needs protecting better. Too many soft fuckers in the centre of the park who roll over at even a glimpse of pressure.

You don't need to in the French league. Fucking Thauvin didn't even need to run, as you can see by his lack of practice.
