I do enjoy the amount of folk talking about Allardyce being "old fashioned" and "proper manager" who'll succeed because he'll "kick arses" rather than "look at numbers on a laptop". Calling him a dinosaur incredible too. They guy was delving in xG data about 20 years ago and his success through delving into data helped push it forwards within English football. His direct style comes from the knowledge more balls into the box = more goals, so restricting that v strong teams and exploiting it v weak teams is sensible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Barclays without your Allerdyces, your Dyches, your Pardews, your Pearsons is a Barclays I want no part of. Whatever happened to Pards "Alan" Pardew? Presumably he's singlehandedly propping up the Costa del Sol economy after being punted early from his 25-year contract at Newcastle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
