Well yes, but I don't think they play a way an Allardyce team plays do they?Didn't Leicester have one xof the lowest possession stats in the league last year?

Which allerdyce team? Not all of them played a big man with route one football.Well yes, but I don't think they play a way an Allardyce team plays do they?
Yes, that brilliantly successful Sunderland team.
Or the Bolton team, where he spent way way beyond the club's means in an attempt to qualify for Europe. Look where they are now.
Or his Newcastle and Blackburn sides, he left them both shortly before they were both relegated.
He's another Harry Redknapp, relying on idiot chairman to fund his splurges. He won't be able to do that with England and will have to work with what he's got.
Also don't believe this long game tag is a 'myth' as has been suggested.
Had that tag of a long ball merchant thrown at him for years, which he vehemently denies, but Sunderland last season had less possession than any other side and also played the least short passes of any side.
If we are going for Allardyce I think we may well need to start breeding a generation of Andy Carroll's.
Isn't there also going to be the problem of players playing for England in a style completely alien to how they play for their clubs?
I find it a worrying choice.
It doesn't have to be English.
Are you trying to tell me he is NOT Mike Bassett?Everyone calling Allardyce a dinosaur needs to look into him a bit more. He was one of the first managers in England to embrace sports science and the like. He is well known as being very thorough with his team preparation and is forward thinking if he thinks it will help his team.
People hear his accent and manner and think that he's an old school type with a sheepskin coat, flat cap, cigar and a brown envelope full of used fifties. He's not.
Can understand why the FA are taking to Sam Alladyce, the FA are all dinosaurs as well. :bag: :stop:Are you trying to tell me he is NOT Mike Bassett?

Come on!!! They even look alike!
Pretty much sums it up.So they obviously want an Englishman.
And he's the best we've got. !
Oh well.
Think we would play with a lot of fight and spirit under Alladyce, but that would be about it.
But isn't that what we had before we started to try and play better football?
Wasn't enough before. Plenty of heart and spirit, but outplayed by everyone.
Yeah. Just saying the old way didn't work either."try" .
He's dead now Dave...doesn't stand a chance imoBRIAN CLOUGH
Even though he surely would have been better than Woy.He's dead now Dave...doesn't stand a chance imo
...onwards & upwards PUSB
He would probably achieved success on the pitch but rubbed too many 'up the wrong way' in the corridors of the FA...that's where & how we fail.Even though he surely would have been better than Woy.
Allardyce has always given the impression to me that he couldn't care less about egos and who'd been on the cover of a computer game. He cares only about winning. FFS he continued to pick the paedo Adam Johnson because he thought it would give him a better chance of 3 points.
