I feel sorry for him, he finally landed his dream job in his 60s and got sacked almost immediately for being a bit naive essentially. He didn't say anything worse than we'd say in a casual chat over the garden fence but he was set up to lose his job over it.

I'd take him back in a years time if we've had another nightmare with Moyes but I certainly wouldn't swap them at this point.

I like your sentiments, Nacho, but I'm not sure Moyes has a year to run. That Burnley result last night really warmed things up - we're now six points behind the club in 15th place - and we're not out of September yet,. We must get something from WBA this weekend, because if we don't and 'Boro get anything - even a draw - at West Ham, even 16th place is looking too far away for comfort.

Get three points this w.e., David, or I'm afraid I'll be counting your days here. 'Deserves' doesn't come into it any more - you probably don't. But Ellis has a similar attitude to relegation as I do ... OUT. Time's up mate. Make the best of it.
 
Hardly naive.

From the BBC.


'An FA statement said Allardyce's conduct "was inappropriate" and Gareth Southgate will take temporary charge.

"He accepts he made a significant error of judgement and has apologised," the FA said.

"This is not a decision that was taken lightly but the FA's priority is to protect the wider interests of the game and maintain the highest standards of conduct in football.

"The manager of the England men's senior team is a position which must demonstrate strong leadership and show respect for the integrity of the game at all times."



I accept some will take the FA's stance as two faced but doesn't take away from Fat Sam's conduct.
I think he was very naive insomuch as he didn't even consider that he might be being set up. He was also extremely arrogant thinking that he could behave like that. I think the FA have acted correctly. We should expect better behaviour from people in prominent positions.

I'm not sure either but I feel we should give Moyes a decent go at least. If we lose the next three games then I'm going to be very worried about his ability though and I might change my mind about sticking with him.

There was a thread yesterday about MiBs v MoBs and if i remember correctly the majority where all for giving Moyes a chance, stop the constant changing of manager. But hey a day later with Sam leaving England the whole picture has changed.
Suddenly it's get Moyes out or give him a couple of games.

FFS can we just let him have a go, yes we may suffer in the short (no pun) term. But constantly changing the manager is doing my head in.

We all know how things can change over night in football, there is no reason why we can't have a good run, first win is crucial to get that confidence up. Had we beaten Palace would i be reading the same stuff.

Good morning from Australia peeps :) I think that might have been a Rant...
