Just accept you're shit and might get relegated, go back to the championship and re-build. New manager bounce ennit They getting Fat Sam for the city fixture Steve Bruce in against Newcastle Gianfranco Zola in against West Ham If they are still not safe Neil Warnock in against Spurs Their strategy is if you throw enough shit at a wall eventually it will stick but they are running out of time Any parachute payment they get for going down will have to go towards paying off the DOF, all their managerial failures and that Pierre Kevin Augustin that never played for them it's priceless....

It might work but I pray it doesn't. No club that is run how Leeds as and appointing managers in the way they have this year deserves to reap the rewards of the PL. Like Watford. They're making a mockery of the PL and the riches available. Get relegated Strongly agree with this. Recklessness is recklessness, and it will fail sooner or later, regardless of whether it works this time. If I go to the casino and put next month's mortgage payment on black it will still be a stupid decision even if I win this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's many people's opinion - I just don't understand it I'd sooner have Luton, Rotherham, Plymouth etc having a stint in the Premier League than season after season of West Ham, Everton, Southampton, Leeds and various other "traditional top flight teams". The same way I'd rather have different sides winning the league, qualifying for Europe, winning the domestic cups. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobsons Choice Posted May 2, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2023 Well to ease your minds, Sam hasn't managed in 2 years. At his last job he managed an impressive 0.73 points per game, with a win ratio of 15%, and a loss ratio of 57%. Also, he's not lasted more than a year in a job since 2015. His last 4 appointments have lasted under 200 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 personally i dont see leeds picking up another point this season, but if anyone is going to drag them over the line, he is the guy. Against west ham he will be motivated to get one over on his old club and spurs, well, we all know how bad they can be on the day. its not impossible but looking unlikely, 6 points could do it but not sure i see it. same old managerial merry go round, we just need pardew and redknapp to take jobs now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just accept you're shit and might get relegated, go back to the championship and re-build. One last throw of the dice. The owner will have felt they were in a nosedive and highly likely to be relegated but a change at the top just might increase their chances of survival. From what I've read, Gracia was on a short contract so relatively cheap to compensate and any large bonus due to a new manager helping them stay up, would be well worth it. Despite their woeful April (impressively equalling Birmingham City Football Club's record of most goals conceded (23) in one month of top league football, held since 1961), leeeeds aren't in the bottom 3 and still only need to be not as crap over 4 games as 3 other clubs currently playing poorly. They'll be relying on Sam Allardyce's big character to shock their team in to not losing all their remaining games. Even 4 points might be enough(?).

Just incase you think I was joking, there's a decent YouTube video (I found by searching 'Villa Park tour'), by a manyoo fan who tours stadiums, that compares tours of Villa Park and the sty. Even ignoring their closed crumbling stands, the state of the sty (including the urinal bike, doors off their hinges with the screws left on a physio table, home/away dressing rooms that looks Division 2/non-league standard) is hilarious to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
