You are so right.

The idea that people on here seem to be praying that we lose on Sunday so that FdB gets sacked so that we can get Glenn Hoddle speaks volumes.

You seem to forget, that Allardyce left after one win in his last 5 games and that was against a very poor Hull side. Its pretty obvious the key factor is Sakho, without him Allardyce was very poor, you watch FDB when Sakho is fit.
If FDB can beat Allardyces 4 points after 8 games he will be on track, if you compare like with like.
People regard Allardyce as a hero, he wasn't that good as people think.

When he joined us we were 17th and had lost 8 of our previous 10 games and the 'Mood music' was that we were going down.

He brought in the likes of Luka and Sakho and they played a big part to help us finish in 14th place and stave off the dreaded relegation,hence why he is seen in such a shining light.

You are allowing your personal dislike of Sam Allardyce to colour your views. It was always going to be a tough call to rescue a team from a year long losing spiral and the fact that we eventually ended up 14th was nothing short of a miracle, for which SA deserves the credit. Parish deals with all of the transfer business so your comment in that respect is meaningless. If SA had chosen to stay we would already have points on the board this season, even without Sakho. You think, in an earlier post, that FdB should be judged when Sakho is fit. Well we'll have the chance to do that in a few weeks, but I personally have my doubts he'll have the impact he had previously if played in a back three. Time will tell.

I don't dislike Allardyce at all, but there is no doubt Sakho had a big influence in our resurgence under him.
What I do dislike is the constant critical analysis of FDB and Parish, when we have only had 3 games and without Zaha in 2 games and no Sakho, who both were very instrumental in our survival last year.
FDB deserves sometime to get it right with the best players in the team, if he bombs with both those 2 playing, well then his position is untenable.

FDB has never been relegated either, the comparisons are uncanny.
