Could Big Sam save us now.

With 11 games to go could Big Sam save us if we got him in now. Maybe if we had got him in instead CR in November.
Big Sam would not get us playing good football but he might have got us more wins that CR.

I don't think he would take the job now. We are a lost cause and it might damage his reputation.

Sorry, I pay good money to watch good football, if the cost of premiership football is watching Allardyce style football, it will be without my money. Fulham will always be my team but at the end of the day you have to enjoy what you are watching.
Watching the ups and downs since 1958, wouldn't have it any other way, what a roller coaster of a club.

Enjoy the football being played, definitely not, but assuming CR is a dead man walking, I don't want to see a similar type. Although I have no idea who we should get, it is not an easy task.

I'm with you entirely. I want us to be ahead of the game and plan for next season, now.

But one point. Tactically, the football under Ranieri is the grubbiest I can remember a Fulham team playing. The fact it doesnt work obviously makes things worse but it really is depressing to watch. I cant belive that Allardyce would play a worse style of football

Ranieri is trying to make us play like Leicester as that worked for him.

The difference is, our defence is terrible and we don't have Kante setting up Vardy and Mahrez on the counter.

Let's not forget Allardyce doesn't only play terrible football. He's also bent. He can't save us but even if he could, I'd rather go down.

I think he might be able to save us, but if Big Sam saves us he will be unsackablle until we actually go down and FFC will be unwatchable until he gets sacked. Getting Relegaed is better than staying up with Big Sam.

To be honest.....Jesus couldn't save this team!!

Like a lot of people I don't want allerdyce anywhere near Fulham, or Pulis for that matter. So frankly whether he could save us or not I'm not bothered

+ 1 we also have to preserve some sense of being a decent club - we have already lost so much in such a very short time

Batman Superman Spiderman and every other super hero from all time couldn't save us.
Roll on next season I really don't care who leaves as long as Clownio has gone and we keep Mitro and Sess, Cairney not fussed either way, the rest either are not good enough or just don't care

Will people please, please give the Big Sam nonsense a rest?

No.

Unless he can miraculously bring in 4 starting defenders (who currently aren't on the roster) and have them play well as a unit.

You can't make players that aren't good enough (that can't defend against a lower division team) and set them up so they are all of a sudden decent.

There is no point in bringing up Big S anymore.

:plus one:

And I wouldn't want his style of football at Fulham.

Plus, he's shady.  imo.

Supergran? I reckon she'd help a lot actually.

I think our reputation is still intact,was introduced to a Huddersfield supporter yesterday and he said Fulham are a club everyone seems to like while apologising to the QPR fan that introduced us.

toshes mate

God knows who can save us and She or He gets 100% while the rest of us get a big fat zero....
