Surely the blame must lie with the person or people who picked Sam Allardyce for the job, I'm quite sure Sam didn't change his style or method when he came to Newcastle, and he isn't new to soccer, he was well known! the last manager was unknown, but was given a chance and unfortunately failed. Management appear to be the incompetent ones at NUFC, I hope they are more successful next time as the Geordie fans deserve success, it's been a long time since their Fairs Cup success. Vic
