Didn’t he also keep Sunderland up when they were seemingly dead and buried?
For me this isn't a time for style or a fancy name we need a Sam Allardyce type on a short contract until the end of the season. Keeps us up one final big pay day, leaves the game on a high and then we get a new 'head coach' in

The question is, would Allerdyce be able to hit the ground running and provide a quick fix? Personally, I don't think he would.

The rest can go to The Championship where quite honestly they'd still struggle.

What would our fellow strugglers prefer us to to do. Stick with Smith or get Allardyce in? I reckon they would say stick with Smith all day long.
England Manager caught taking bungs and saying how to work the system. Have we really sunk that that low?
I don't believe the owners are even contemplating a new manager. I think they have confidence - rightly or wrongly - that they have the right man for the job already, hence the new contract he has just been awarded. And I would therefore think they have the funds lined up to spend on new players needed to keep us in this league. Whether it will work is a different matter, but I'd be happier to see us to do things this way than another.
