Edited BBC Sport image sends Leeds United fans into meltdown, it disrespects Marcelo Bielsa
Leeds United certainly don’t have much in common with Sunderland and Crystal Palace, but the Whites will be hoping that all changes in the coming weeks.
Manager Sam Allardyce has saved both the Black Cats and the Eagles from relegation, and he looks set to have the same goal in mind when it comes to the West Yorkshire outfit.
As per the Guardian, Allardyce is close to becoming the club’s new manager, with the former Bolton and West Ham boss set to take over from the struggling Javi Gracia.
The latest twist and turn is another in a long line in recent years at Leeds, but supporters won’t be too bothered if Allardyce lives up to his reputation and keeps the club in the Premier League for another season.
The Whites have had far too many managers for their liking in recent times, with Marcelo Bielsa perhaps the only one who was really adored by the Elland Road faithful. But the Argentine icon has been somewhat disrespected by BBC Sport amid the latest situation regarding Allardyce.
The news organisation has edited an image to show the impending Leeds boss sitting just like the former Leeds boss did many times on the touchline at Elland Road, with BBC Sport posting the image on Twitter.
It has sent Leeds fans into meltdown, with supporters reacting angrily to the edited image, which clearly shows a lack of respect for a man who gave so much joy to the club.
It’s definitely not a good time to be a Leeds fan, with the club dangerously close to dropping back into the Championship after a handful of years playing top flight football.
And this latest episode has rubbed salt into the wounds of many fans, who simply want to see their club fight for their safety without the need for any annoying distractions.
In other Leeds United news, Piers Morgan has savaged the players for what they did to fans on their way to the stadium for their match against Bournemouth last month.
