Yes I'm in full support of that comment mate. Who knows what we'd have achieved with Allardyce had he been given £20million +
After all, he signed Anelka, Diouf, Djorkaeff, Okocha, Campo, Davies, Hierro, even Ricketts in all fairness. For £400k, that was one of the best bits of business he ever did!

I am not so sure that is actualy correct, The backroom exodus started after Big Sam left and if IIRC Sammy lee's paranoia drove most of them away, he was bringing in staff where there was already someone in post because he thought they did not like him this then sent more looking for other secure(if that can be ever said in the footballing world) employment. these guys earn ordinary wages not mega bucks.MichaelJohn12 wrote:You know what I mean pal! Allardyce ripped our backroom staff apart! Lee didn't invest in the youth and brought some right sh** in! THAT damage
oh and Lee left us bottom with 5 points from a possible 30....but I believe Meggers may have brought that one up

£30m?? Jesus. Why haven't we signed others then? I was unaware the figure was so high! I do understand the term quality and not quantity (a saying that was lost on Sammy Lee), however there must have been players out there!

Didn't do too well at Newcastle with money. I think he was best with less money, unless it was a definite proven player. I would have give him some, though only some! We could have been with Everton last year, but then again we have nothing to back it up. I'd rather sort out bring players through the system now, something Allardyce never seemed to get quite right.Batman wrote:lee ranks amongst the worst managers then
however, it is madness to give the megabucks that dickhead has to him, whilst we lost sam because we wouldn't back him when we were 3rd

Ahh but was it only funding that drove Sam away, certainly from January on the team hardly won a match. Then there was that panorama program, oh aye Sam was going to sue them but he did'nt. had he taken legal action then I would have believed It was all his pratt of a son but I am not so sure. I am certain that this created the/a rift between Sam and Phil G, so Big sams position was becoming untenable. This also derailed Sams chances of the England job which probably added to his disinterest toward the end.

In those 8 years the price we have to pay for players has trebled at least, ffs 20 mil for Keane, 30 mil for Berbatov.Batman wrote:talking in terms of time to spend itCrazyHorse wrote:Relatively speaking, I'm not sure that Megson has had any more money than Fat Boy had anyway.
allardyce probably spent 30m combined over 8 years, not like dickhead spending it inside a year...........
we had to replace a lot of players past their prime and the rubbish sammy Lee brought in. the 30 mil is over 2 transfer windows and we also sold players, somthing sam never did.
Its also fair to say that last season scared the living Sh*t out of Phil G, Eddie Davies and the rest of the club managment which in itself produced funds. We also have no idea as to how things have changed financialy at the club it may be that only now have they been able to generate that level of funding.
