Yep. I’d go as far as to say that he could be at PSG for twenty years and we couldn’t use that to make judgements on his time here.
He is now world class.
According to some here, winning the French community shield is better than his 5.5 years at Spurs.
It's such a dumb argument.
Sam Allardyce could probably win a cup with PSG in the French league, calm down Christ.
I love the man and don't begrudge him anything, but attributing this trophy to him as a manager is more tenuous than Ramos and our league cup win in 2008.
Good for him. He deserves it (obviously not for his time at PSG)
Wish i had
In reality, the only thing he can do that matters is win the CL.
Clown
Strangely, psg scored & then attacked until they got a 2nd instead of settling for the 1 goal like us. Then conceded late just like us but obviously it didnt matter as they didn't settle for 1.
He signed and regularly played Jay-Jay Okocha. Say what you want about Fat Sam but for that i've always given him a pass.
I honestly think Allardyce is underrated by most people
He's always been a very good manager.
The fact that he's a bit of a joker, fat and English means he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Same as Moyes. Both really good managers who often over achieved.
Allardyce's behaviour in regards to agents, gravy and pints of wine is a different matter though..
I mean, they're not running away with Ligue 1 at the moment but I do agree that it's 'par' for a PSG manager in reality.
For the Owners and fans, yeah. But I think Poch went there to get the 'trophyless manager' monkey off his back, even if it's a couple Ligue 1 title and French Cups.
He'll be taking the first big job that is available once his 18 month contract is up.
If he does well, he'd have no reason not to renew. The PSG job is a dream, insane wages, cake walk league and great city if you're rich. If Mbappe fucks off you're just left with Neymar to please as well and no drama.
