Bizarre official Leeds United Twitter post inadvertently trolls new manager Sam Allardyce
Leeds United have posted a bizarre statistic on social media showing Sam Allardyce’s managerial history in the Premier League.
Allardyce has taken over from Javi Gracia in the dugout at Elland Road after a poor run of form.
The Whites have lost four of their last five matches, leaving them sitting 17th in the Premier League table.
Only goal difference is keeping the club out of the relegation zone, with Allardyce brought in to try and secure safety with just four matches remaining.
But the manager’s struggles in the competition have come to light in a new post from the official Leeds United Twitter account.
The club noted that Allardyce has won 178 of his 537 Premier League matches, which represents a win ratio of just 33.14 per cent.
Poor ratio
Allardyce is a Premier League veteran, having managed various clubs in the competition, including the likes of Everton, West Ham and Blackburn Rovers.
The boss is very well known for helping keep Sunderland and Crystal Palace in the division once upon a time, and that is the very reason why Leeds have turned to Allardyce at this stage of the season.
But his win ratio of 33 per cent will not fill supporters with much confidence amid their worrying position in this tense relegation battle.
And unfortunately for the Elland Road faithful, it is a ratio that could become even worse given how the Whites take on title-chasing Manchester City up next.
They also have tricky tests against Newcastle, West Ham and Tottenham still to come, with all of those teams capable of rolling over Leeds on their day.
The Whites may be helped out by other teams between now and the end of the campaign, but it seems clear that Allardyce must pick up at least a handful of points from the club’s remaining matches.
