    And as for the never been relegated thing... He took Notts County down.

    He doesn't make a habit of it though.

    It's the right appointment, there are no guarantees in football but with Allardyce we've given ourselves as good a chance of staying up as we could have hoped for.

    I'm glad it's two years too, if we don't beat the odds one more time and do get relegated then we'd never get anyone better than Allardyce to navigate the championship.

    I'm not having a go at the bloke as I think he's done a canny job but I bet Congerton's gone by the morning.

    Yeah he's on his way mate. Allardyce has come in as Manager not Head Coach from what I've seen.

    Was listening to a North East sports journo on the radio & he reckons Sam will tear the place apart & want total say on how things are run.
    That's good news as Ellis has surrounded himself by people who haven't a clue. I think we are in for a lot of changes.

    I just see Sam as a short term thing. I don't see him as someone who'll build for the future really.

    Que sera fella. He's in now so we'll just have to get behind him.
    Just hope he doesn't fetch chicken wings.

    Not even entertaining the thought to be honest. He does that and I lose interest.

    I thought Congers was already walking before Advocaat walked though?

    That's fair enough, he's just not your cup of tea Di5co, nor Billy's. I just hope he wins you both around.

    Personally, I'm very happy. I know it's not going to be pretty watching us this year but I think he'll stop the rot. And we need that. Desperately.

    I wouldn't say he's not my cup of tea mate. I think that given time he'll do what needs to be done.
