What this pre season is showing, is the depth of discontent that our fan base has with Allardyce.

I've only seen the game against Malaga this summer, so am in no position to comment on the pitchside activities, but I have checked in on the forums and twitter throughout, and it's clear to see that his relationship with the supporters has got worse.

The atmosphere, should we go a goal down against Tottenham, will be unbearably toxic. I'm not even sure we need to concede - the way things look right now, we may well kick off to a hugely negative mood.

I'm wondering why I renewed - I'm actually dreading going, fearful of the negativity. I should be full of excitement and eager to get the season underway.

He's got to go. He's never going to win the support over, and our own support will become our biggest liability whilst he remains at the helm.
