My opinions on both.
Jurgen Klopp, wonderful for Liverpool, not so wonderful if they persist with this transfer committee lark. Absolutely pointless appointment if Liverpool are going to continue with stuff like this:

There have also been times when Rodgers has been left to pick from a shortlist which didn’t include his initial targets. The best example of that was last summer when he was given a choice between Mario Balotelli and Samuel Eto’o at the end of the window

Sam Allardyce will take just about anything won't he? One dire north east team to the other.
He doesn't stand a chance, he's gone within the next year like every other hero they've claimed is a god, from Steve Bruce, Martin O'Neill, Gus Poyet and even Roy Keane. Most of those were responsible for their own downfall though.
Dick Advocaat was hung out to dry, persuaded by the fans into joining an empty shell, there's just no money, where is it? the bloke was promised quality first team signings and once again Sunderland either didn't buy anything or bought absolute crap. There's something much deeper occurring at Sunderland that will make it's way out eventually. You can't blame Advocaat for the dire state of the squad.
Allardyce has the task of getting that team right the way through till August with likely minimal signings (Loans and a few million pops)
People constantly ask why Sunderland and Newcastle are bad despite changing managers and spend a bucket load of money, it's simple, they're both rotten to the core and the majority of fans are fickle enough to accept the manager is at fault all the time. There's a few calling time on McClaren already. He had players he wanted and got most, why didn't he get the last few despite Newcastle having more than enough money available given they've also committed to make £50 million + any other available funds available in every window for the next 4 years. It's the inside of Newcastle yet again causing the problems.
Where's this Ellis Short bloke that should be standing up to be counted? Where's the money at?
Right, how about a joke instead?
Ivan Toney (Newcastle United youngster was asked this)
Question: Who do you look up to in the first team?
Toney: “The way
Pa**** Cisse is so clinical in front of goal is something I admire. Err.. ok
