A Leeds United fan has called for Sam Allardyce to replace current boss Marcelo Bielsa- and lots of Whites supporters aren’t happy.
The Argentine’s side have lost four of their last five Championship matches and they travel down south for a crunch game away to Brentford this evening.
Leeds United currently sit 2nd in the table with 55 points while the Bees are fifth with 53 points.
After the weekend’s defeat to fellow promotion chasers Nottingham Forest there’s been a lot of nervousness amongst the fanbase.
One fan, rang TalkSport this morning to speak to Alan Brazil’s Breakfast Show co-host Sam Allardyce, calling for Big Sam to replace Bielsa.
That would certainly be a switch of style in most supporters’ eyes and a shout not everyone is onboard with.
“As much as I hate to say it, I think the problem is Bielsa, he’s sticking with under-performing players like Bamford and Casilla,” said Danny, the Leeds United supporter
“The problem this season is we haven’t got Roofe to put the ball in the net. Bamford, his workrate is good but he’s just not putting the ball in the net.”
Host Brazil interjected and asked: “So, are you losing faith with Bielsa? Do you think he is the problem?”
The fan replied: “Sam, I would take you in a heartbeat. Bielsa was great but look at his track record. Players seem to fall apart - look at what happened last season.
“It has happened with his other clubs.”
The one-game England manager kept quiet aside from a slight chuckle.

It is fair say not everyone Leeds United supporters would welcome Big Sam with open arms.
There were some strong reactions to the proposals.

As you can see the consensus is not with Danny.
