Nothing official for 24 hours but it seems very likely now.

I really thought Steve Bruce would be the choice.

Me too. Glad it's not. I mean I'd rather have a manager who has never got a team relegated. Plus he has more experience. Especially with dealing with bigger name players.

Has he managed many big names?

I'm not too optimistic. I've never really rated Allardyce. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong though.

Well he's managed Newcastle and West Ham which are a damn site bigger than Hull FC. I rate any manager who can keep Sunderland up. That is an uphill battle which no one should win.

Big clubs, sure, but not really many big names. But, Newcastle and West Ham are both clubs that historically have bigger expectations than they should, which has been England's M.O. lately, so he should hopefully be able to handle that.

I definitely give him credit for keeping teams up, or keeping them chugging along in mid-table, but he seems to have a ceiling when it comes to his style of football.

I don't know why the manager had to be British. Look at our last few managers and the most successful coaches we've had have arguably been Erikkson and Capello, two non-British managers.

Bobby Robson and Terry Venables were good. Brian Clough would have been good as well had the FA not been a bunch of dicks back then and picked Don Revie instead.

I don't think nationality makes a difference.

Nationality doesn't matter, but the quality of manager does, and if you're sticking to just one nationality then you're unnecessarily limiting the available pool of managers, therefore narrowing the chances of hiring a quality one. While the option is there to hire foreign managers (and I actually don't think it should be, since it's the national football team), it'd be silly not to make use of it, especially when there isn't exactly an abundance of quality English managers out there.

Steve Bruce has won the championship play-off twice and was an FA Cup finalist with Hull not too long ago.

Sam Allardyce has won the championship play-off once and done f*** all else.

I would take Brucie over Big Sam any day of the week.
