West Ham: Big Sam's Wham Bam Football Perfect For England

If West Ham manager Sam Allardyce still harbours any ambition to one day be England manager, and I know he does, then he should forget any thoughts of trying to convince us he isn’t a exponent of the long ball game, and just keep doing what he does best. Uttering phrases like “long ball” and “direct football” are dirty words these days, but if it’s the type of football that’s achieved results, how can any football aficionado insist there is only one way to play. If we want to take on the might of the Spanish at their own game, we’re going to have a hell of a long wait until we’re as good as them. And if you’re going to upset teams who are more attractive but less physical, who else better to stop them than Big Sam. There’s a man down at The Emirates who’ll testify to that.

I can understand the thinking behind his attempt to distance himself from his reputation as a manager with a one dimensional approach, but it feels as if he’s admitting that he’s been wrong in his approach to the beautiful game by turning his teams into ugly but efficient winning machines. And it’s the winning part of this equation that needs to highlighted here, as the success he’s had down the years has ensured his teams continually punched well above their weight. Ever since his hat was thrown in to the ring for the England job, it seems as if Big Sam has become ashamed of being labeled for the very thing that has brought him the success that got him there in the first place.
