Basically, his autobiography is being serialised in The Sun.
So there will be a zillion and one 'stories' over the next few weeks, all based what the journos who are reading the coverage in The Sun think will be clickbait.
Me, I'm not clicking.
I'd prefer to either read the whole thing, or nothing at all, than rely on being drip fed what someone else thinks makes good headlines.
I hope BIG SAM does well (other than games against us).
I do however think he really does have his work cut out with the squad he has inherited.
He needs more than a point a game to keep them up. If he manages to do that, he really will go down as the best ' Keep you in the Premier League' managers.
Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce also said in his first press conference that he is considering bringing Kevin Nolan to the club, his former captain at West Ham United.
Nolan has been training with League Two club Leyton Orient in order to stay fit, and Allardyce admits he may look to the 33-year-old if his current players fail to impress.
He said: "I have to assess the squad and whether I need another midfield player. Kevin and me go back a long way but I need to assess the ability of the squad and then take it from there.
"If I feel Kevin may be someone I can look at in the future, and will give us something, then that may be a line I enter down."
The bloke got such an easy ride. In his four years, other than the odd chant here and there, the WHU were very patient and content. 30,000+ in the Champ, 34,000 in the PL, sell-out away fans, supporting the club, very few protests (look at Newcastle and Pards), he was applauded in his first match, cheered and applauded when it was announced he signed his new deal (I was as the game and cheered him). Despite several terrible results (6-0 at City, 5-0 at Forest etc) he was never really vilified.
If he thinks the WHU way is winning, then he has no clue. Bilic is doing a good job at understanding the WHU way. It ain't that hard.
And anyway, on winning, how many victories did we achieve in his last 20 games?
bfs seems to be a bit twisted in the mind if you ask me.
So some fans don't like him, its normal, just hope he is wise enough to get over it and stop this gutter press as his reception on his return will be far from friendly.

I would replace Guest with Sam and days with years....
I thought he did great by us but by the end I wanted to look forward to seeing us play again...

I'd suggest he starts with the Daily Mail, then moves on to The Sun. ;thumbsup
Some fans like a manager, some don't. There are even a few on here not sold on Bilic. It's normal.
