Speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football Podcast, Sam Allardyce has been discussing Leeds United’s managerial vacancy and the idea of him taking the job.
As you can imagine, the first thing on the agenda on Allardyce’s podcast this week was the Leeds job, and the 68-year-old says that he’d be more than open about speaking to the club about taking the reins at Elland Road.
Interestingly, Allardyce says he watched Leeds against Manchester United this week, and he reckons he’d have no problem in sorting their problems out.
Allardyce could fix Leeds
Big Sam spoke about the Leeds job.
“I’d have thought by now if they were interested in me they know where I am, so call me. If someone called me I wouldn’t turn down going chatting about it, certainly not at Leeds United, but there has been no call, so before anyone starts any speculation, nobody from Elland Road has called me about the job in hand. I watched them against Man United and I wouldn’t see any problem sorting them out, from my point of view with my experience,” Allardyce said.
What they need?
Allardyce isn’t the most glamourous name in management in 2023, but he may be exactly what Leeds need.
Over the past 18 months, the Whites have struggled under managers who play what has been labelled as progressive football, but perhaps they need a no-nonsese gaffer who will take it back to basics.
Sean Dyche has, of course, taken over at Everton to great effect, and perhaps Allardyce could do similar at Leeds.
Of course, it’s very unlikely to happen, but it wouldn’t be the worst appointment in the world.
