[Football] Leeds sack Javi Gracia - Allardyce appointed for last 4 matches

[Easy 10]

Imagine next year if massive go up and massive go down. Massive V Massive. Is the world ready for two such massive clubs in the same league.

If that fixture occurred next season, it would be SO huge, SO massive that it would rip an enormous hole in the time-space continuum, dragging the entire planet into a catastrophic whirling vortex over Yorkshire and into an inter-dimensional wormhole that would spit us out into a parallel universe where horses rule the world, all our hands are made of Dairylea, and the only currency is flyspray.

The EFL will never allow this fixture to happen. Its simply too massive.

I also heard they were considering keeping Roy on board for next season

Yeah in some sort of mentoring capacity for the new manager I hear. That tells me that Beaky is visiting the bargain basement again because he does not expect a real manager to be appointed.

Javi Gracia sacked after 10 weeks in charge. Sam Allardyce appointed for four games.... will it keep them up?

 

[Icy Gull]

Hope not

Unfortunately, we ought to hope he gives it a good go considering they play Spurs on the final day.

 

[Official Old Man]

Big Sam is at the training ground and yet I've seen no mention of the manager actually being sacked. BBC have nothing.

Bielsa to Sam Allardyce, Robbie Keane and Karl Robinson in 14 months

A bucket of cold sick.

 

[Javeaseagull]

I heard Little Sam can't join him because he is on Jury Service! You couldn't make this shit up!

 

[Bombardier]

Fat Sam confirmed as appointed for last 4 games. What is about managers with the title 'Fat'?

 

[WATFORD zero]

Leeds United have sacked manager Javi Gracia and appointed former England boss Sam Allardyce in a bid to avoid relegation from the Premier League. Spaniard Gracia, appointed in February, has been dismissed after just 10 weeks and 12 games in charge at Elland Road.

Allardyce - who will be assisted by former MK Dons, Charlton and Oxford United manager Karl Robinson - told Talksport it "took him two seconds to say yes" to the job."I was shocked. I never thought at this stage of the season there would still be mugs throwing money around. I thought there would be no jobs," he said.

From Bielsa to Big Sam. Not quite what they were expecting from the premier league I don’t think.

I refer the gentleman to my post #164. The Laws of the Universe would step in and reduce them to being League One sides playing on a rainy Tuesday night.

Blimey!

[B-right-on]

Can't blame them I suppose as Gracia was taking them diwn. Shows what a shitshow of a club it is with no planning.

It's so tight down the bottom, any one of the 3 teams above the relegation zone can go down.

From the BBC website:
Gracia's dismissal takes the total of managerial changes in the Premier League to 15 for the season - five more than in any other previous campaign. Leeds are the fourth top-flight side to have sacked two managers this season.

 

[Questions]

I supposed this news is going to tip the balance for Ben White.
He’s gonna go back there isn’t he ?

From Bielsa to Big Sam. Not quite what they were expecting from the premier league I don’t think.

From memory, the ones on here were expecting to be in the champions league by now!!

Winning it next season.

It is, and I'm sure many will agree, quite hilarious
