He's a cock.

Wish he was still our cock though.

Indeed.

To be honest if you want to go down as a "won't get a bad word said against you hero" then your actions have to reflect that and his didn't.

Its fine to say leaving, pretending to be want a "break from the game", pitching up at Newcastle, saying you won't touch the legacy "you've left behind", then ripping it apart is part of the game.....it is.

He was in his rights to do all that.

But still those left behind at his old club aren't exactly going to be happy about it, or worship him after he's done it.

Still have him back in a heartbeat of course. Best manager I've ever seen operate at Bolton. I suspect we'll never see the likes of him again here.

But he was and is a complete arse.

The opposing feeling I have about Bolton is because of the bitterness and lack of appreciation when I left in 2007 after eight seasons.

It came from everyone from the top downwards and it was something which really upset me. I was portrayed as this person who had done virtually nothing for the club — there was no appreciation — which was rather sad after what we had built there.

Sad to read that, I really appreciate what he did for our club. Seeing european football at bolton is an experience from my childhood I'll never forget and I'm thankful for that. Best manager we've ever had.

Aye which is all fine. It doesn't mean his actions on leaving weren't disgraceful though.

Especially in the context of him being given the most money a Bolton manager had ever spent in a season to spend (at that juncture) that year, against the panorama backdrop and continued backing of the club.

"Really upset him" my arse.

[nelson66]

One of BSA biggest attributes is his 100% self belief - which unfortunately manifests itself in his sometimes coming across as an arse.
I'd have him back tomorrow - he was much better than any of the other arses who followed him

Best years of my life spent watching Rioch and then Allardyce teams tearing up the big boys egos.
Happy days.

[as]

I'll never forget his first game back with Newcastle, and him celebrating like he'd won the f*cking Champions League when they scored

Top manager but a complete w*nker of a bloke, he constantly wants recognition for his work here but when he does come back shows the place (especially the fans, who supported him after he was accused of dipping) a complete lack of respect.

His ego is possibly bigger than his fat gut too - and we all know that fat people smell bad -another reason to dislike the bloke.

Football's ram jam full of assholes from end to end. It's just that if they're your assholes that get overlooked and they get forgiven quicker.

Fixed it for you. We're British

He can say what he wants – we have this glorious moment to laugh at:

Just look at his face at 1.03. Priceless.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

I've not even clicked on that link and I'm chuckling just from memory. Brilliant.

Diddums, the big, soft c*nt. Was he not handsomely remunerated for doing what he was brought in to do?

[Beefheart]

Big Sam, a master at re-writing history, and referring to himself in the third person. Definitely an arse.

The most important men in Bolton's post war history

One won us a major trophy, the other got us into the top 6 and Europe after 40 years of mediocrity.

Anybody else is a distant 3rd

Enough said.

We were in the Premier League twice before Allardyce arrived. We'd also been to a League Cup final. Hardly '40 years of mediocrity'.

We'd got relegated twice.Allardyce took over a 2nd tier club that was skint and hadn't avoided relegation from the top division in almost 20 years.Just staying up was a wonderful achievement let alone getting us into the top 6.

Rochdale and Oldham both lost League Cup finals in that previous 40 years, reaching and losing a League Cup Final is hardly a great achievement.In fact losing a League Cup Final was arguably the worst day under Sam Allardyce.

Congratulations on making me laugh...... Eddie Davies the big money backer whose most expensive signing in our first season back was a monster 650K on Henrik Pedersen.Not even fit to sit in the same box as the owners of Fulham and Blackburn who we got promoted with.They bought their place in the Premier League, we did it because of the great Sam Allardyce who could make survivors out of freebies, cheapies and the losers he inherited.
