Originally posted by rollercoaster Completely untrue as I've explained earlier. He was accused of boring tactics at West Ham. He was accused of this before he started and was never wanted there by their stuck-up fans. With good players Alardyce teams play good football. His Bolton team were very good to watch in the years before he resigned. I think he is a really good coach who chooses a system that will get the best out of the players he has. Do you think his philosophy of starting with a sound defence is boring? I suspect, this transfer window, more money will be spent on defence than on forwards and that next year we may be a bit negative. However, if Alardyce stays beyond that, I think we can at least emulate his success at Bolton and enjoy some exciting football. Added to that, the 'one style of play' comment doesn't hold up when you look at how we've played since he came in. We've switched between a couple of different systems depending on the situation. We've had three, four and five at the back at times, and in some games he's clearly pushed Wilf closer to Benteke to support him more. I thought some of the football we played on Sunday was quality. If Cabaye and Puncheon had put those two (very presentable) chances away just before half time they would have been two of our better goals of the season as they were both excellent moves. Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

Originally posted by adrian b 1 How many times has BFS taken over a clu in a little bother, get them safe, then after giving that club a mid-table mediocrity, moved him on?

The common chant from BFS previous clubs is he does not seem capable of taking a team any further forward in playing style, at least a style to better the team. Something often gives,,will it happen again and soon? I think I get the gist of your question.......never and no and it's BS, he's earns our respect.
