Hi Guest. Something I'd really like you to mention is that we never lost a player, good, bad or indifferent due to homesickness. Not even the likes of Dwight Pezzarossi that pitched up from Guatemala and never kicked a ball for the 1sts. Allardyce absolutely went out of his way to make players feel...

As others have said - Allardyce changed the business model for promoted teams. No more mediocre players on huge transfer fees and generous contracts who then bankrupted you when you went down. save the money on transfer fee, put it in the salary and buy the best players you can find. The MD of ProZ...

I find it typically pejorative that one of the opening questions includes the word "veterans". Unless I'm mistaken, most weren't (the only three that spring to mind are Djorkaeff, Speed and Hierro) - and ultimately Newcastle dropped a massive bollock selling us Speed, a man who had the fitness of a...

Ibrahim Ba - the french megastar signed for us, and was deemed not good enough and booted out in less than 12 months Mario Jardell - golden boot winner - also given the boot for not being good enough to play for the wanderers I hope the article you write takes note of all the positives you get on h...

We beat Everton on that last da...

- Was Allardyce's style of football as bad as the media/other fans tended to portray it? Less so in the early days, more so later on. But anyway, Allardyce then used it to galvanise his team with an us vs them mentality, rather than pandering to these West Ham fans with the whole 'playing football ...

For me the best of these players was Okocha, have you ever seen anyone before or since do what he could do? if messi or Rooney or someone did those things people would talk about it all the time, they weren't frivolous skills either they worked and came off consistently. I doubt I'll ever see any p...

Hi guys, as you may be able to tell by my username, I'm not a Bolton fan. I'm a football writer, and I come to you with questions regarding Sam Allardyce's time as manager of the club. I plan on writing something about this period, with emphasis on Allardyce's policy of signing international veteran...
