Best signing your guys have made for some time. He will keep you up and give someone else a chance to build on it......when he gets sacked,,,which he will.....but he will give you that grounding
If Cognerton does not leave, I can see him doing a canny jop as head of our scouting network (director of recruitment?) - with Big Sam having a final say on all transfers
Didn't want Sam tbh but will get myn support as has every other manager before him. Come on Sam, stuff it up the scum and make a bigger name for yourself.
Appointing one of the games most experienced managers has got to be the right thing to do, considering the upheaval that's been non stop for the last 2 years. So good luck Sam, hope everything goes great for you !!
Wasn't my pick, but a sensible looking appointment and he will have my full support. Nothing further at this stage!
This appointment is a no brainier really. There are no guarantees and I thought MON would have been the answer before, but Big Sam is here and maybe he is what those players need. We need to win a few matches now

So.. In short.. The press know **** all about SAFC and the club. And it took LITTLE to persuade allardyce to join!! But allardyce turned us down didn't he?
Following ES's demolition of the press and their misreporting and speculation maybe Congerton and Sam are heading to be a good team, or have I read too much from the papers?
