well they were pretty bad they bankrupted us as well

@@Abdi774 its genuine agony

A. Fox It was a disaster when he was there, which is why he left lol

As an Everton fan it was painful... But I really liked his Bolton sides they were a horrible team to play back in the day

No they would not mate! This man is a moron ! Really Greedy man !

That Sunderland Escape was nothing short of a miracle. That was one of the worst prem sides I have ever seen before he took charge.

@@arsenalfanrichi and also from where he took charge! That's why I made the anime comparison!

underrated manger. Say what you want about his style of football but if i was an owner of a club needing to stay up, Big Sam would be first on the list

​@wildebest I don't know about WC finals, but regardless, I just hate how recent football "fans" troll anyone they get the chance to. Sam Allardyce is a meme yet most fans don't recognize/know the success he's had and the influence of data-driven football that he was a pioneer of at Bolton. One can meme Emile Heskey all day without acknowledging or even realizing how he was a very good forward in his prime and a very unselfish player throughout his career. I feel frustrated sometimes at this troll culture where making a mockery of someone is the priority and the the opinions at popular platforms (such as ARSENAL TV) is just ludicrous.

@wildebest fully agree with that kind sir.

No, look at them NOW!

As a bolton fan i agree as soon as big sam went it was freefall

@@ciaranriley5028 i agree, we're in league two now

@JM #7 RACING such a shame what happened. I don’t like seeing that happen to any football club. Unless it’s city!! 🤣🤣🤣

@@Matthew-bu7fg least were back out of league 2 now🤣

Vacuum Boots BJM are the best

Owen Alexander Smith yeah man 👍

Why ask? They would've been 6'5 plus, technically shocking and could head the ball. That's all that sam ever wanted.

@@recruitmentch Have you not seen Jay-Jay Okocha and Youri Djorkaeff play football?

@@stantastic4866 Youri was 34 by the time he went to Bolton.

@@recruitmentch His age is irrelevant. The point is Allardyce didn't just sign big technically poor players.

@@stantastic4866 Only because he was on a free. His career at the top was finishing / finished. The likes of him, Jardel, Campo etc ending up at Bolton for a final hurrah. That was 5 years before the period Sam is on about.

wildebest could be lad could be, you should read his book if your interested in that kind of thing! all i know is he’s a proper footballing man with probably the most experienced non active manager in the country right now, and mostly does well, with what he has to work with.

Newcastle are in a much worse position with Mike Ashley, the clubs record transfer fee is still Michael Owen from 2005 who they signed for £16M.

But the CL is money for the owners.

Football is a business like anything else who does something to lose money...

@ShiftCtrl85 bollox... Bolton financial problems now come from what they spent under allardyce and Bolton have never been and never will be anything other than a small club

@@MrAshtute small club? Four time f.a Cup winners, founder members snd highsrt ever recorded attendance in the world and world cup winners in your team ain't small is it?

@@MrAbigail5 yes when your talking about your clubs major honours being an attendance and the fact a player played in a world cup team... That makes you miniscule not just small.... Apologies... I should have said teeny weeny club. And what allardyce "achieved" there laid the foundations for your club to be penniless and almost completely out of existence. Hey you can take him back as your manager anytime and good luck to you but as a man and a manager he's shite and an embarrassment to his employers and their fans. He can't even not drink before matches and respect a club by doing interviews without being half pissed.

@@MrAshtute tbf if they did make Champions League the TV money would have poured into the club easily

@@felixsoheili1154 there wasn't as much money in it for clubs back then...and now after All your owners pouring 100's of millions into the club where are you? Almost out of existence at least 3 times..no longer own your stadium (or anything else) and still got debts that could send you under anytime. My point is that allardyce left you ruined financially (your owner said when he left that you couldn't afford him and his ideas anymore)....the man spent fortunes at smaller clubs and then left them in tons of debt with big contracts to pay for years to come. Look at him at West brom now...moaning they didn't spend enough....that's all he ever does...like I said look at Bolton after allardyce left...Sunderland after allardyce left.. Newcastle he wasn't there long enough....West ham (he left them skint) and Everton (he left them with a load of shite players on huge contracts. He's useless as a manager and his team's suck the joy out of watching football...it's about time he was put out the game permanently and I think West brom will do that at the end of the season (hopefully)

To think the ones after we’re even worse!

And Israel

And is ruining us again now!

WTF - This man is a moron ! Really Greedy man !

The same southgate that lead england to the world cup semifinals?

What a helmet you are

I take it this is sarcasm?

At least I'm not the only one seeing the crap in Southgate. Big Sam would have taken the BEST English players too the world cup and also not rely on the same players in every squad. I'm still confused to why Pickford started every game. People will point out that England got to yhe semi finals. England should have reached the final with how the games turned out.... But Southgate is gonna bring football home 😂👍

+Raheem: What was your favorite victory? Tunisia, Pnama or Sweden? Lol......

T.G Martinez How was it? He was caught out trying to sell a way round third party ownership. He was esentially telling other people how to cheat the very organisation that he was there to represent. All for a tidy profit. I'd be genuinely interested to know how you think it's a stitch up.

He stitched himself up. I hope nobody gives him a job, after Everton got rid of him. He's an idiot.

@@jamesw3546 he explained how it could be done....he didn't actually do anything wrong..otherwise he would have been charged. The stitch up came cause he thought he was talking to a lifelong friend .

@@gaywest4298 if everton hadn't of got sam in they would have gone down...and they eneded up top half...dont think thats an idiot

trillywinkle dinkle Depends what you class as wrong I guess. For me, when you're England manager you shouldn't be out boozing it up with businessmen who want you to teach them how to break FA rules on third party ownership in exchange for speaking at their events for £400,000. It's just dodgy as hell and clearly a pretty big ethical issue in my opinion. He thought he was speaking to someone from a (fake) sports management agency according to the report. His friend put them all in touch with each other that's all. Hell, if he'd not been so greedy and arrogant and had just Googled the name of the agency and the people he was meeting he would have realised they weren't genuine and could very well still be England manager now. He saw the £££'s and shafted himself.

If they backed him where Bolton would be in the big time playing European nights under the bright lights

@declangaming24 wouldn't be in league one...

@@ChrisAddis in the PL in Europe

Eddie Davies (owner when Big Sam was there) was in hundreds of millions in debt, he cared about the club and to save it he sold it to conman ken Anderson in 2016 who took 500k out the club and ran us into the dirt to make a profit, which unfortunately he was successful in, he’s the reason we are where we are not Eddie Davies. In 2018 before Eddie Davies died he made sure all Bolton’s debts were paid and now. We have new owners now so hopefully we can start making our way back to the prem or at the very least championship

Was just thinking same thing pal

Lol. The diet , video analysis etc wenger started way before him. Sam definitely did show the importance of winnimg the ball. Was a good manager? Definitely. But lets not over blow it

Nobody proves themselves well there.

This man is a moron ! Really Greedy man !

@James Richards well if pep managed Bolton Newcastle Blackburn crystal palace Everton wud he have done any better with those clubs I think not

@@footballbabybaby yes he would've

@wildebest yes he absolutely wud If u give sam iniesta xavi messi he wins everything Ya'll so deluded about pep He finished wayy behind liverpool remember with a great team

@wildebest im the opposite to clueless on football. Since pep left i do believe they won champions league and la liga plus xavi n iniesta n puyol have retired and not been replaced with same quality Pep only won league with Munich done nothing in champions league And finished miles behind liverpool with aguero and debryun

I know mate, I've been saying it for donkeys years.

As opposed to not spending the money and enjoying the success they're having now...

@@paulleach3612 different issue, just pointing out it wasn't a minor request like he pretended it to be, he'd have likely wanted signings the following year too so what he's really saying is he wanted more money, which everyone does.

That Bolton team was actually really good to watch. I was a big football fan at that time. You're just going along with herd theory. Sam allowed the skillful star players like Okocha to do their thing. He gave them freedom to express themselves, and built a solid base around them. They mixed it up. They didn't always play long ball. They were pragmatic. One of the hardest games for the big teams at that time was going to Bolton.

Completely agree, they maximised their players. Kevin Davies career was in tatters when Sam brought him in and he turned into one of the better strikers in the league and deserved a few more Caps imo.

@@gladtidings7874 cudnt have put it better myself

@@mrman372 lol you ok buddy?

Agree

His record speaks for itself. He’s a hero saved so many clubs. I’d go as far to say that he’s up their with one of the best ever Premiership managers

Thing is, that's much more common than you'd think. He was saying that they're going to spend that money in the summer anyway. Spend it now rather than in the summer.

If he was spending the money in the summer anyways surely it was worth a gamble for the huge revenue that champions league would have brought in. Was risk free to an extent

@@jamietohill2465 That's what Peter Ridsdale thought.

@@cockoffgewgle4993 but he asked to spend 6-8 million on 3 players . Wanted his summer budget early. Leeds literally gambled with money they didn't have. It's not the same

@@jamietohill2465 Wanting your Summer budget early is wanting to spend money you don't have..

@@rnmusic-gt7zw by your logic I can say Bolton is part of Greater Manchester which has 3 million people

you cared enough to be writeing about it

he always overperformed with the resources hes had at any club. If you think he could get 11 bolton players to play like tiki taka your delusional

Bolton played some nice football at times. Djorkaeff, Okocha and Campo were terrific footballers and they certainly kept the ball on the floor. There is no shame in defending first and foremost.

At times you are kidding long ball specialists, what has he ever won with any of his teams!!

If you enjoyed watching Bolton play you are a sad man, they were awful to watch, it is an entertainment industry don't forget!!

I get the sense that you are a child who wasn't even old enough to remember watching games back then. If not then you have selective memory, because they played nice football at times. It doesn't have to be tiki-taka to be entertaining.
