Sam Allardyce to Leeds United hailed by pundit pair amid 'lost lamb' Javi Gracia claim

TalkSPORT pundits Jamie O'Hara and Jason Cundy have claimed they would've loved to play under Sam Allardyce after rumours linking him to Javi Gracia's job at Leeds United.

The Whites are only outside of the relegation zone on goal difference, meaning many believe Gracia's time could already be up in the job after just ten weeks in the Elland Road dugout.

Supporters seem to be on board with the idea of bringing in Allardyce as a last hope to keep them in the Premier League with O'Hara and Cundy being no exception.

"They should just sack him [Gracia], they are terrible! Absolutely terrible!" O'Hara claimed on talkSPORT last night.

"Was it 11 goals in two home games? He looked like a little lost lamb in there, didn't he? And they've been beaten again, beaten badly let's be honest," Cundy replied.

"You can't see them picking up another point but I get it. They're rolling the dice again!"

"They've got to though," O'Hara chimed in. "It's so hard to get back up into the Premier League, you don't want to just throw it away."

"Listen," Cundy interrupted. "I love Big Sam. I love him, I've got so much time for him. He's just... he's big! His name is Big Sam! I love they way he just goes in, I'd love to play for Big Sam!

"He'd just go, 'I want this, this and this from you and I want that, that and that from you'. You'd roll your sleeves up for Sam, wouldn't you? If Javi Gracia turns up, are you going to roll your sleeves up, to to the trenches for him? No."
