Is Allardyce the man to secure promotion next season ?

I think we'll sell Periera and Johnstone, generate £25-30m and give it to Sam with the mandate to take us back up.

And I think that would be a competitive budget for him.

Its clear he doesn't fancy Livermore and Sawyers.

I think we have no hope of getting Yokuslu permanently. Nor Gallagher or AMN. And I think there are better strikers than Diagne.

What will be interesting, if he does stay next season, is what he does with Diangana and Grant. Big money signings who haven't really had a sniff under him this season.

There is a big rebuild job ahead for whoever it is.

Interesting point - what does he do with Grant and Diangana! It’s quite obvious he does not rate them and it’s a case of - not my players and someone else’s cock up in blowing that money!

Sawyers, Livermore, Kanu and Zohore did nothing since the Blues match at home after lockdown so all four need to do one! Fat Sam rates Phillips but I don’t - like Livermore he goes missing too much and a passenger!

No tears with Johnstone going - great shot stopper but positional he’s poor!
