but cucking...regardless of whether or not somebody has backed up their origional claims there could well be an element of truth in players not wantingto join his 'revolution' (sic)

‘Football isn’t instant coffee. You have to work at it. You must grow the bean, grind it.’ Ian Holloway

May do. May mean a few extra on the side.

Seriously, wtf does a footballer care?

A footballer cares:

what he gets paid
the training ground
the future fortunes of club in the league
his growing potential being part of new team
if his missus has any say
if he has mates in the area or team might swing it

I do not believe many players care or have the intelligence to analyse anything that very few care about. It's very small news now apart from on HOL where it's daily headline news. "Read all about it, Sam Allardyce commented on how you can avoid FA rules on 3rd party ownership but did nothing about it. Let's condemn him now."

He's our manager. Get behind the whole lot or see us fail to reach our potential for another half a generation or more.

BFs has a reputation of never walking and is well known for it , at least in Lancashire. The reasons he gives is if you walk you miss out on the pay off. As many say in football it is all down to the money.

At least under Pardew we scored goals but how many have we under Allardyce? His body language and defeatism depresses me almost saying his task is hopeless. If he thinks that then, yes, he should walk.
