If Sam Allardyce is appointed just on a short-term contract (end of season) , then the players might treat him in the same casual way they appear to have reacted to caretaker boss Unsworth. Allardyce needs a longer contract so that the players know they can't get away with that.
Also, if Moshiri let's him spend money to bring in players, then - once the team is organised - he might actually recruit some real quality for the attacking areas. That depends, of course, on him and Walsh co-operating on transfer choices much more effectively than last Summer's unbalanced signings by Walsh and Koeman.
Finally, Moshiri and Kenwright (and the board in general) must show unity and back the appointment. No more briefings via favourite media sources that stir up more negativity and discord.
