And given the clubs Allardyce has kept up in this division I wouldnt call him a failure either. What he did Sunderland and Palace in recent times was nothing short of miraculous.
Failure is a bit harsh with Hughes. But the 2 chances alardyce has got with a transfer budget at bigger clubs he’s ****ed up because he only has one style. He’s a decent fire fighters but I wouldn’t let him build a team looking to do something. Also has a habit of making the whole fan base hate him.
