In fact most of the night he was sat on the edge of his bed with his head in his hands in fits of despair and suffering regular panic attacks. When Mrs Fat Sam complained he went and sat in the living room. He is worried and he knows the loss of sleep is not helping him and it is doubtful that he will sleep at all this evening. He just cannot fathom out why all of his mind games haven't upset Nigel who is just calmly and professionally getting on with his job. He was heard to mutter yesterday during training "Why isn't he panicking?" This caused some consternation amongst the Wesdam players as they all looked at each other wondering which one of them he was on about. Everyone knows that Fat Sam panicked months ago when he resorted to hoofball and when he played a 5 man midfield and when he went into a defensive formation if they were in the lead. He has been scared for months because we know as does everyone else that the game is up. Fat Sam is all bluster and mouth with no substance. He has no confidence in his players and once he has lost in the play offs he will be looking for a new job with his undeserved reputation in tatters. As he made his way upstairs to the bathroom this morning his wife heard him muttering: âWhy canât I be a popular professional manager with a great team?â âWhy can't I be more like Nigel Adkins?â
Bizarre statement on a sky sports article about Fat Sam: The Hammers were in disarray when the former Bolton chief assumed control last June following their relegation from the Premier League. Relegation brought with it financial constraints from which he had to work within, as he set about building a team capable of instant promotion. If he has to work under financial constraints then you can call me Auntie Norma...the only team that has splashed out more than West Ham are Leicester and they are a special case in themselves. Poor Fat Sam having to work under financial constraints and buying most of the strikers in the football league...slight exaggeration but you get the gist.
