Poor Bournemouth. I really wanted us an them to stay up....With all the injuries...They fall into one of the teams I'm hoping get relegated instead of us. My only hope right now is Bournemouth, Sunderland don't pick up from today and improve, and Villa can't get Rogers or Moyes. Then...Maybe.. Those 3 might be bottom 3. I really don't think it will be though.
 
Serious question that I'd be interested to hear people's views on:

IF we had sacked Neil, say, a month ago (I'm in no way saying we should have then, or indeed that we should now) do you think we'd have been able to attract Allardyce to Norwich? Would we have to pay well above what we'd be comfortable paying, or would it just be a non-starter?

Largely academic, imho. No, totally academic.

I knew he would be Sunderland manager before this season started. It was such a perfect fit! They need a solid manager who can build a club, plus he's an ex-player. I think he might have waited for the inevitable. Plus how Newcastle Treated him...He has dreamed about today for years! I think there was a slim chance, but no more than 20%

Yeh, I'm inclined to agree. I just find it interesting at times wondering how we're seen by neutral but educated football people. Would someone like Allardyce see us as an opportunity, etc..?
