Just ask John Barnes! This is what happens when you go to manage a big club with supporters that have unrealistic expectations for greatness, and you have a bad run of luck with injuries and games. John Barnes only lasted 6 months at Celtic, a big club with fools as supporters, and so did Big Sam at Newcastle, a club with fools as supporters.

...but, is Big Sam a good manager?
I wonder? - He had fair players at Bolton but Bolton played waaaaaay too often 'bullying game'. The players worked hard...but, good smooth flowing TEAMplay was too often absent. I thought he had good touch players in some players and good supporting run-arounds and a good goalkeeper...but, he opted for(?) or just could not make a smooth playing team.
Yeah! Yeah! There were times Bolton moved the ball around in a great manner...but, that just makes the point that the players could do that and yet most often never did!
Not sure Big Sam is all that?!"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment

Karl, not saying he is the best ... check and see how many times his Bolton beat Arsenal."Jamaica's future reflects its past, having attained only one per cent annual growth over 30 years whilst neighbours have grown at five per cent." (Article)Comment

he took bolton from league 1 to the epl in 2000-2001 and they hay remained there since.....he even qualified them for uefa....
bolton may not have played the most attractive football but big sam made the most of what he had...bolton couldn't afford high priced players and he survived the epl with almost a shoestring budget...
he is a good manager!

Karl, you may not have liked Sam's style, but his results with Bolton (and their shoe string budget) says he is a very good manager. You can't use Newcastle as any form of metric as he was not given enough time to stamp his system on the club.Originally posted by Karl View PostComment

he did the best possible job with what he had.

i did....look benitez is a good coach, a very good coach yet liverpool doesn't as well as they could or should....
ramos is a also a very good coach and has settled the defence and that has made them more dangerous and consistent.
