The man who said at his first press conference at St James' Park: "I want to bring the same success I had at Bolton to Newcastle" ... had Toon fans wondering what "success" Bolton had!
But, he was never the choice of the fans in the first place and never came close to winning them over by having a backroom staff BIGGER than the playing staff ... and having one tactic ... the long ball.
Sam Allardyce: "If he had been a little more patient at Newcastle, I’m sure they would have been in a much better position than they are now.
"My track record would tell you that eventually we’d have been in the top eight or better within a couple of years."
After years and years of hearing him talk about his "track record" ... does anyone know what he has actually achieved?
