June, after taking the job at Newcastle:

He said: "My job relies on winning football matches at first-team level, so I will adjust everything accordingly to make sure every game we go out and play, I give myself enough time.

"The only time I will get is by winning football matches, not losing them.

"I know I won't get any time if I lose them. I will then be a casualty like everybody else has been a casualty over the past few years.

"I know the responsibility and I know the only way to make the time I need is to get the results everyone wants as quickly as we can.

October:

"I haven't been sacked since 1995 at Blackpool and I don't want to be fired again," said Allardyce.

"The game against Sunderland is massive. We want to win and I want my team to show who is the best in the North East.

"I have waved the magic wand before, but I'm not so sure I can wave the magic wand as quickly as they would like here. It is probably more volatile and more unacceptable than I expected.

"My long-term is only going to be long-term if I get results. As good as Mike Ashley the owner and Chris Mort the chairman are, if I don't get results there is going to be pressure put on them, never mind me, so results are the name of the game.

"It will take three to five years to get this club where I want it to be. I will get that time if I win football matches. That is the bottom line. Keep winning and you keep getting there.

"Over the last three to four years this club has not done much anyway. This club has not had success for 50 years, apart from brief periods under (former Newcastle managers) Kevin Keegan and Sir Bobby Robson.

"It is not as if I am starting from getting the club into a position where it was before, or used to be when I first started. It is about progress. Instant is not sustainable."

Floundering fat egoc***ock
