Na ove sam izjave mislio. Vidi se da covek ima reda u glavi i da mu je jasno ono sto ocigledno mnogima nije - "It can't be done in a short period of time."
Koga ne mrzi neka cita!
Sam Allardyce quotes, SkySportsNews, Sunday:
"It can't be done in a short period of time.
"They have been trying to do that for a number of years and it has not worked, so we are trying to do it slowly and surely and progressively and will hope we get there and sustain it, that is what I want us to do.
"We have got to do better and hopefully that will turn around in the next few weeks."
Sam Allardyce quotes, The Journal, Monday:
“People are coming up with disruptive rumours as always – Chinese whispers, if you like – and that’s bound to be the case in a situation like this. But we’ve just come together. I never said to them that it would be easy, and they’ll never have thought it would be. We’ve got to remain realistic. The staff and the players are realistic.”
“The reaction doesn’t surprise me - it has happened before to other managers. The supporters want so much and they want it so soon. Sometimes it’s hard to give it to them.
“It isn’t nice, you don’t like it, no one does. But it’s a fact of life here. I’ve come here to live with that pressure. I could have stayed where I was, been comfortable and picked up the wages at Bolton, but I didn’t want to do that. I wanted a bigger challenge and this is one. I’m good enough and big enough for it. We’ve just got to dig in, keep going and move forward. Things were going fine up until the Tottenham game - but it has gone off the rails a little bit. We’ll get it back on the rails.
“I want to get up on a Sunday and feel reasonably good about myself, I don’t want to get up on a Sunday and feel dejected and upset and worried, but that’s what happens when you don’t get results. You are not popular when you are not doing well. If people don’t like me, it’s up to them. You’ve got to take it on the chin.
“I’ve got to keep the players’ spirits up and not let them lose their confidence. What has happened will drain the confidence, but if you lose that it becomes difficult. I’ve got to keep the pressure off them and take the brunt of the criticism. I’ve got to help the players remain focused and prepare for the next game. But we’ve hit rock bottom and we’ve got to dig ourselves out.”
Sam Allardyce quotes, Chronicle, Monday:
“I always feel hurt when I lose a football match. At the end of the day, I am hurting more than anybody else when we lose a match, even though other people do not think I am.
“I have not experienced it to this extent (at other clubs), but that is why I have come here.
“I have to take the good with the bad, try and get this club to go forward and realise some of the success they have been chasing for 40 or 50 years.
“You have to take the rough with the smooth, and it is pretty rough at the minute. You just have to ride it out.
“A manager losing like that is always under pressure, whether you are here, there or anywhere in the Premier League.
“Results are the biggest and most important thing for any manager.
“The pressure mounts as always and the speculation starts as always, but you have to keep the belief and stop listening to Chinese whispers.
“It is not a harder job than I expected – I never expected it to be easy.
“I told you I could not wave a magic wand, but I did not expect us to be so low because of the performance we put on against Liverpool.
“That, on the back of the Portsmouth result, is one of the most disappointing things for me this year.
“That was not good, was something we all accept responsibility for and, irrespective of the injury problems we have had, we should not end up giving a performance like that.”
