Leeds United destined for relegation with Sam Allardyce set to leave – Ex Brighton ace Glenn Murray
Former Brighton and Watford striker Glenn Murray does not see Sam Allardyce at Leeds United after the Tottenham Hotspur clash.
The BBC pundit also sees the Whites getting relegated as they start the matchday in 19th place and have the least chance to get out of the drop zone.
Everton take on Bournemouth while Leicester play West Ham and Leeds will need both results to go in their favour and win their respective game v Spurs.
Speaking on the BBC, Murray said, “When I look at the three clubs, I see Leeds, haven’t got a manager in, after this season Sam’s walking out, haven’t got a director of football, and the owner wants to sell.
“The club’s in complete turmoil and I can’t help it [that the fans disagree] but they have made the decisions that have got them to this.”
Need a reset?
It remains to be seen if the reset Leeds need can be achieved from the Championship as it’s going to be a massive overhaul of the playing squad.
A lot of players would be made redundant as they will be on high wages and might not want to be at the club in the second tier.
This could also scupper the San Francisco 49ers takeover situation so that needs to be considered as well.
If they do stay up by some miracle and the 49ers buy the club at the pre-determined price, then they could bring in a new director and manager and things can get better.
As of now, all the focus will be on getting the three points and then hoping West Ham and Bournemouth do them favours in their respective games.
It’s incredibly nail biting and there is no room for errors in what’s going to be a topsy-turvy final day for Leeds for the second straight season.
They had Raphinha bailing them out last time and it remains to be seen who the man is to do that for them this time around.
