It's not surprising considering they were nothing more than a mid-table Championship club before he took over and completely transformed their fortunes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Bielsa takes much of the blame - small squad, burnt them out with intense training (injuries etc), he was only going to get them so far - conceding 60 goals or so in his final season was inexcusable. They conceded 79 goals in total. They were very, very lucky to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Big Sam is being offered £500,000 basic salary and a 2.5 million bonus if he keeps Leeds up. Nice work if you can get it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, but a lot of people were saying the same about Palace and Roy Hodgson. They are desperate, and if he somehow keeps them up then its worth every penny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 It is just pure desperation isn't it. Allardyce averages just over 1.2 points per game over the 500 odd premier league games he has managed in. I know he has managed some crap teams but it is a hardly a record that screams saviour is it. Having said that if he takes 5 points from their remaining 4 games they'll almost certainly stay up. Looking at their remaining games though that doesn't seem likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) In terms of panic jobs they are at least outside of the drop zone as it stands. It’s a no-brainer for Sam. £500k for a few weeks work, possibly £2.5m on top, possibly a new longer term deal on top of that. They have City (0), Newcastle (0), West Ham (3), Spurs (1) to play. 4 points from that lot might be enough and doesn’t look impossible. Was it Harry that took over Blues in a similar position, lost all the games but they still survived and he got his bonus? Maybe I’m mis-remembering it though.

Then again if he manages to keep them up i'm sure he can spend some of his bonus on getting each player a pint of wine so they can all enjoy the celebrations XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scary thing is, not so long ago this is the type of thing which we probably would have shrugged our shoulders with and had to accept, such was the dire state of things after failing to get promotion in the summer of 2018. Amazing how much has changed in the half a decade since 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
