It would be but Big Sam is no guarantee we would be in the situation any way. Big Sam career win percentage 39.60%, MoN career win percentage 51.32%. By the logic you're putting forward we should still have MoN and we would be flying. He wouldn't be my first choice, not that I given it much thought. Anyway it's rude, both clubs still have their manager.
I'm not putting any logic forward mate I just said would'nt it be nice to be sitting 8th on 39 points.
Just like you I don't care about the style because its all about winning. I rather take Sam because he can win games in different ways. Poyet can not. My opinion is you wouldn't of went down with Sam.
I've been banging this drum for a while - however disrespectful it is that both him and poyet are in employment. He plays effective hard football. Teams don't like playing against allardyce teams.
They have put 2 and 2 together and made 12 here. I know for a fact West Ham were sniffing round Gus in the summer as someone I do business with is on the board at West Ham. Apparently they offered Gus a deal but he said he wanted to stay with us. I also know Short likes Gus but is just dissolusioned with the current situation at the club. I am away working with a guy who knows Short from in the 2nd week in March so I will ask him if he knows anything then and report back. He is careful what he tells me though so don't expect any big revelations.
