It's incredible - such a nonsensical thing for the Club to say, and even more ridiculous when it was so obviously done against the wishes of the manager. I've said many times that I think Allardyce should go - his results aren't good enough - but I also think that if you're going to employ him then he deserves the chance to fail on his own merits. Instead we have this ridiculous halfway house where Gold and Brady have kept him in the job by forcing this nebulous concept of being more entertaining on him. For as long as I can remember, West Ham have been a laughing stock and it doesn't feel any different now. When I watched the World Cup it felt like England were playing in a different tournament, and when I watch West Ham from afar it feels like we're at a completely different level to other professional clubs. Can you imagine any other PL club spending over £20m on new strikers and then the Chairman going public with his concerns that they are "not tall enough". It beggars belief.

Rather than the long term good of West Ham he will become even more entrenched in ways, massive self preservation so that his reputation is in tact for his next job. Sullivan has dug out, the hull game, Carroll and Morrison. The only thing missing is a dig about the poor style of play in pre season. Even the most hardened of managers needs some affirmation, just a smidgen and Sam ain't even getting that. It's gonna get ugly and Unless one of the new forward signings is a revelation Sam will be gone by Nov, by mutual consent.
