The argument for bringing Fat Allardyce in has failed within his first 10 games - to keep us up - to tighten up at the back and to make us hard to beat. 5 points from his 10 games, 8 goals scored, 28 conceded, so exactly what is the point in letting him see us through to inevitable relegation.

Anyone who thinks we stand the remotest chance of staying up is living in cuckoo land, 12 points from 23 games, -36 goal difference and 11 points adrift having played a game more with 15 left to play.

New signings might make an impact, but tell me where the next win is coming from or the next clean sheet for that matter, whoever they are in front of them, our defence is the same as it was at the start of last season and concedes goals like a sieve, they have for the past 18 months.

So spare Allardyce "relegation" on his CV and pay him off and get him out, most of us could say "I told you so". Plenty of young managers about who understand the game has moved on since the prehistoric age, working hard and being hard to beat will only get you a point if you can see out 90 minutes at 0-0 or scrap a goal from a set piece.

Plan for next season and start to put things in place for a promotion charge from the championship, or do we wait until May or worse still let Allardyce impose himself on us next season as well
