i know we have to wait for the end of the season to determine where we are going to be playing but do you think Ellis will free up significant funds for either scenarios? Plus, as we know you are not a "Sam man" who would you fancy in charge of us next year assuming Sam leaves?
I dunno but on the off chance we do stay up I think we'll have a cracking team for next season, no duds or wasters. To be fair even if we go down we'll still have a good side. It's not like we'll have many offers for our better players, I reckon we can hold onto them.
Championship no. Prem, well if he doesnt he may as well go all out and try and sell the thing. New manager? Maybe that fella at Bournemouth.
Think it all depends on if Sam stays, if we do stay up i really hope he doesn't lead Sam down the garden path like he did with our last manager, promise him funds and then not deliver. Yes chap at Bournemouth could be a good shout, done well on a limited budget i think, realistic target if Sam were to leave.
If we stay up I honestly think we'll be nowhere near the relegation zone next season. The majority of the overpaid ****e will be off the books this summer, free up the budget to get more of Sam's signings in. Have to say, although I don't like his tactics / team choices at times, he did a ****ing good job in the January window no matter which way you look at it. I don't agree if we go down though. What would our squad look like? Pickford Jones Matthews Kone (maybe) O'Shea Watmore Khazri (maybe) Bridcutt Buckley I can't think of anyone else who will stay? That is one HELL of a rebuilding job for Sam / the next guy. I'd be worried.
Was that good job in the January window not down to Martyn Glover, who is apparently Allardyce's head of recruitment, though?
I'm probably being over optimistic and thinking that the likes of the KKKK will all stay on. I'm hoping that the only ones to leave would be Defoe and M'Vila rather than most of the first team. If we're starting the season with the likes of Bridcutt and Buckley in the first team then we're ****ed.
I think Sam will have agreed in January with ES regarding summer transfer funds. If we stay up I can see a bloody good transfer window. I think Eddie Howe is destined for the West Ham job..... Eventually. I think he will stay at Bournemouth for the time being.
Given the January signings I have confident of Sam's summer signings. He likes them big. We won't get bullied.
If we stay up I'd like us to go for Kieran Tripper Mvila (permanent) James Morrison (free) Ben Arfa (free) Jordan Ayew Graziano Pelle
