Ask yourself a series of questions and what the chairman thinks is quite obvious.

Is being in the Premier League a massive financial advantage?

Is football for those who control the game a ruthless dog eat dog business?

If the answer to those two questions is yes then you don't need to ask about entertainment for the fans/customers. You certainly don't have to think about loyalty to employees. There is only one question.

Leaving aside everything else, if I fire Bilic and appoint Allardyce are WBA less likely to be relegated?

Now you can argue about whether it was the right decision but with a little thought the chairman's thinking is pretty obvious I would have thought.

Do you think? I thought so!

Allardyce was a guest on the Quest midweek highlights programme last week and there was an inkling he would soon be back in a job.

£2m personal bonus if he keeps them up. That's a lot of gravy...

I wouldn’t employ him.
Look what’s happened to Bolton after he spent large.
I hope he never comes anywhere near us.
He’ll be gone by the end of the season.
