[Football] Fat Sam sets a new record.

Is he?

In his recent rant where he declared himself up there with Pep and Kloop. He went onto describe DeZerbiball in detail without actually naming our manager or club. He then ripped it apart stating you lose loads of goals passing from the back and most fans want to see a long ball, flick-on and goal.

He is a one trick pony but a very old lame one that needs taking into the lower field with a shovel and a shotgun.

Yeh, yeh, OK. He'd be a disaster in the PL with a mid-table team now. You know that so it must be true, eh? Good luck with that.

You do realise that he's probably watched - and taken on board - many of the changes since his Bolton team of 30 years ago .............. oh no, sorry, he's thick as shit, right? I mean, he was an old fashioned clogging CH - so he must have been thick. Stereotyping demands that must be the case, eh?

That list is complete bollocks

Brian Clough only lasted 44 days at Leeds.

When did football start?

To be fair, it does state very clearly “the shortest reign on Premier League History”, not “in top flight history”.

........and, TBH, anything that states that is bobbins. The first division has every bit as much prestige as the PL. Changing the name didn't change anything of footballing value.

Per Sky apparently he was. Haven't read the contract myself tho

It was widely reported that he was only contracted until the end of the season so I guess depends how they are defining ‘permanent’

Allardyce set to be appointed Leeds manager

Leeds United are set to confirm the appointment of Sam Allardyce tomorrow after finalising terms for the former England boss to become their new head coach. Allardyce is expected to arrive in Yorkshire in the morning on a deal to the end of the season, taking on the task of averting relegation...

Technically the first division is now the championship, even has the same trophy so it has lost a bit of prestige

Indeed - and I agree! But the “In Premier League History” bit is still factual.

It reminds me a bit of when I started watching football and all the records were stated as “post war”. I guess it’s just a way of comparing to “recent” events.

It would be interesting to see an all time table as well, though.

For me Leeds / Big Sam was the cherry on the top this season. Pity about Massive but that's getting greedy
