Allardyce isn't chicken shit but he is all about self preservation as has been from day one. He has zero interest in West Ham as a club, he has 100% interest in the career and bank balance of Sam Allardyce.

So when he is hit with a remit to change our style of play, what incentive is there for him to do that ? Financial ? No. Crowd adulation ? well he has proven he doesn't give a shit about that ? Approval from the owners ? well he's tied into a lucrative contract so they can piss and moan all they like.

He knows his squad (the one he has created) haven't got the ability to pass the ball around, so why should he start playing like that, it will ulitmately lead to defeats and his reputation is then in tatters. Its reinforces the fact he can only play football one way.

All the ire, the total disatisfaction with the style of football, with the boring games, with the reliance on a target man, the signings, with the lack of positive substitutions against a ten men Spurs should be wholeheartedly directed at the owners.

Utter shambles the two of them are and the blame is not Sam's its at them. They are the ones that need to be hounded out. They have created and let this fester . Should never have signed Sam and should have sacked him ages ago. Now we are left in a distressing limbo of owners signing players to appease fans etc etc. In fact the owners are the chicken shit ones.

So when it comes back to match threads and discussing the games, its pretty pointless to do what Miami has done and just slate. You have to put it into context.

Brown out I say. WHUST rule.
