Big Sam

[Koolman]

Just heard on the news that Big Sam has quit Crystal Palace. NOT a contender to replace Puel if he goes I hope!

[S-Clarke]

Wouldn't have thought so. He's retired anyway if his statement is to be believed.

[Pamplemousse]

He couldn't be any further away from the 'Southampton Way'

[Micky]

Why wouldn't he be a contender, look at the job he did at Palace compared to Silva at Hull. Lots on here would welcome Silva it would appear, why not Sam?

Blimey,I would take him any day.He usually takes over when teams are struggling.Very forward thinking and the only team he was given free reign to take forward was Bolton.Gave them a solid foundation and then introduced players like Jay Jay Okocha/Djorkaev.He cuts his cloth accordingly.Would be great for us (not going to happen now though).

Big Sam ha the easiest gig in football.

 

Join a club in December, get paid £3 million, leave in May, repeat.

 

Fair play to him.

[Suhari]

Says he doesn't want another job.

Thats a shame he's retiring we might need his experience come next January after the fans destroy our next manager

[Saint_Ash]

No matter how well he would do people wouldn't want him.

Until he's bored at home in about late October when a relegation threatened team offer him a mega bounty to keep them up (just hope its not us).

 

Remember Warnock going to Palace in 2007 saying it would be his last job in football !

Allardyce makes Harry Redknapp look positively whiter than white. No thanks!

Everyone says that until they are starring down the barrel of relegation.

If not Big Sam then possibly someone of that ilk. A no nonsense manager who would not tolerate second-rate prima donnas spitting their dummies out when things don't suit them. Much is said about his hoofball style but I didn't see much of that at Palace; instead he obtained good performances from some rather average players. Also, Big Sam often comes with the services of Little Sam.

Your name should be Samwic. I imagine you are winding us up. That's the politest way of responding.

[Saint Garrett]

Christ if he managed us I wouldn't go to St Marys until he's gone. Absolutely no chance of us bringing someone like that in.

 

And although he says he's retiring, I'm pretty sure that if a club comes in for him next Nov/Dec who is in the sh!t he'll take the money!

We aren't, so no thanks.

if we where next Christmas though people wouldn't be so adverse...

I doubt many will want to answer that.

[nathan]

Obviously don't know the accuracy, but I've heard a rumour it is due to a close family member/friend being hurt in the Manchester bombings. He's basically said he doesn't want the stress and life's too short.

As poor as we've been this season, hilariously more than half the League was worse than us. Even if we do keep Puel and sell Virgil, I doubt we'll go down.
