Big Bad Sam

Every morning at the ground, you could see him arrive.
He palyed 4-3-3, he played 3-2-5.
Kind of broad at the shoulders, broader the hip.
And everybody knew you didn’t give no lip to Big Sam

Big Sam
Nobody seemed to know where Sam called home
He just drifted to the Toon and he stayed all alone.
He spoke out his mind, warn’t quiet nor shy
And if you spoke at all, you’d just said hi to Big Sam
Somebody said he came from the Bolton town,
Where he marshalled the troops with his Big Sam frown
Europe the target for Big Sam’s band, and
he took his Trotters to the promised land.

Long gone was the day of our Number 9
Shearer retired and men started crying
Souness was the cause of the current plight
Glenn slugged away but he lost the fight
then Sam.
Through the mud and the dust of that Geordie hell,
In walked a man that we all knew well
Would knock on some heads and flush out the dross;
Make damn sure you know who’s boss, Big Sam

He warn’t known for stylish, but nor was he thick
And he knew we liked our footballing slick
Like a lawman he came to cut out the bad
And the wasters they knew you don’t make Sam mad, Big Sam
His backroom boys numbered twenty-four men
But with them all on board just wait till when
For the Geordies had waited long since sixty-nine,
Now at long last it was trophy time, with Big Sam.

The fans made a pact with their straight-talking man
Win us a pot and we’ll stick to the plan
Not to mention the dirt, and always to back ‘im
And we’ll try to forget he once was a Mackem

Hello. I am 
is shepherd going to give sam the chance to work with proper money?
or has allardyce been given the job because he has been proven to get results with a limited budget?
i’m just thinking after all the cash they have thrown away recently, would shepherd rather spend a fraction of it on professional backroom staff?
probably not, but just one to think about and see what happens……….,
