The fans and Sam Allardyce have never had the easiest of relationships – and despite it all being tentatively rosy for the first part of the season, it has soured rather quickly.
Now it seems that a summer exit is on the cards for Allardyce and you have to admit it could well be best for all parties concerned.
Allardyce does not deserve the reaction he gets from a certain section of the fans so much like Newcastle United before them, they deserve to see what happens when he leaves.
