Big Sam Isn't Going, So What Now?

Let's be honest, nobody expected a decent result against Manchester City last night. The 6-0 drumming we suffered in the first leg didn't only make it virtually impossible to overturn - but it would have severely dented the teams confidence going into this encounter.

Of course our great and powerful saviour Sam Allardyce was quick to make excuses, issuing the blame onto the defense (heard that one before).

After the game the usual social media callings of 'Big Sam out' were reiterated. I wasn't surprised to see all of the hate for Allardyce, after-all - quite a few of the fans were never that keen on him coming in the first place;  so it was only a matter of time before the fans wanted him out.

One thing that gets me is that no matter how loud we chant, he isn't going nowhere, not yet anyway. A crowd of 14 thousand West Ham supporters turned up yesterday, has this prompted the two David's to take any action?  Of course not!  Has this prompted Sam Allardyce to call it a day and salvage some respect and integrity? Of course not!

In a way, why should he quit? If he did he would lose out on a large amount of money;  in comparison to if he was sacked. So in others words, he has the upper hand, David Gold admitted that if we were relegated at the end of the season sacking Sam wouldn't cost a penny.  But surly the results of relegation would be to catastrophic to contemplate!

So it looks as-if Sam won't being going anywhere, we are in the latter stages of January so a new manger wouldn't have enough time to bring in new players anyway.

So Sam is the only option we have got.
