The majority of these players were bought under Rodgers. I'd rather buy the scouts from Soton than their actual players, tbh.

Considering that the World Cup qualifiers start in September, we need to hop to it.

I'm just GLAD that we didn't get Klinsmann, tbh.

Not mad as in the former. He's defensive as hell, NGL and if you want free flowing beautiful football, he ain't it. But he has a system, would know his starting XI, and seems to be one who, if he doesn't know something, he'll look to someone for advice.

I remember when he kept West Ham in the PL, and the supporters didn't like his football (defensive, dragging out 1-0 wins, or 0-0 draws), and when the West Ham owners said that he needed to get fluid football, he brought in a coach to help with the forwards (Teddy Sheringham, iirc).

In addition, I've seen how DeAndre Yedlin improved under him (American defender from Seattle Sounders who couldn't defend, but Big Sam sorted him out).

On top of all that, it's an open secret that Allardyce wanted the job since 2006. I'd hope that the FA would give him what he needs, and then get the heck out of his way, but the FA is a really odd organisation, tbh. They are resistant to change, and seem short sighted on taking the game forward. But that's another rant for another time, tbh.

If Klinsmann was carrying a good assistant in hand, that would be awesome, but he seems to think that he's better than he really is.

It helps that Alldaryce has wanting the job for the past ten years.

Three at the back! That's a tried and true.

Mark Noble - West Ham's chairman has gone on record not wanting his players playing for England, so I don't see how he comes into this conversation?

I wish champions league and europa league would have knock outs instead of two legs, tbh.
