The big man, the boss; Big Sam

Yes we did, which is why the majority didn't want him here in the first place.

A few of us even made complete asses of ourselves about it!

I never wanted the fat cunt.

[Simon Paul]

Think I kept it pretty quiet but I didn't want him here

[Bally]

Think I kept it pretty quiet but I didn't want him here

About as quiet as me

[UnsyisaRhino]

There cant have been more than 5 on here who genuinely wanted him surely?

I can't believe the board even considered him. Especially after the England debacle.
Shows a total lack of thought and professionalism.

Until the last 48-72 hours, I truly thought it had to be a rumour/paper talk.  My mind just steadfastly refused to believe it.  Denial is strong as fuck, in terms of human defense mechanisms.

I get it tbh. I don’t think we were as safe as some felt. The wrong appointment would have sent us down, so they went safe, short term.

It's the easiest job he's ever had...the West ham game pre Sam was the big decider ...still think we would have been the same or in a better position with Unsworth still at the healm ....we would have tried against WBA and Bournmouth definitely and not just shithoused it against anyone since....the were at least trying under Unsworth(Schneids aside obvs) even if it was a learning curve for him.....i was also guilty of having a pop at - Unsy but its all be careful what you wish for ...
And we got our just desserts ...Roll on post gravy face .

[blue slug]

I didn’t have him as first choice but thought he’d do ok, how wrong I was he is pure dog shit
