I think although it will be very ugly Big Sam is the only realistic option for us to have any prayer of surviving.
I hope this happens instead of the other rumour of Lee Bowyer taking over.

Good old Victor... Banter FC, worst run club in the PL?

Sad times, when Fat sam comes in to try to save the day.

Fook me 🤦🤦🤦

If Alladyce is anywhere near as good as Sam Allardyce then take him on.

We can't afford to be fussy as we're looking like odds on favourites for the drop anyway so may as well let Big Sam do his thing in the same way the old warhorse Hodgson has turned things around at Palace... nothing to lose now!

Rather go down than see Allardyce……we’re a pure banter club if Allardyce is looked at as the solution……no manager sorts this out this is on the players there’s more than enough talent there what is clearly lacking is desire.

Lordy Lordy. If true, that's another mindless decision.

Lee Bowyer, anyone? Think he'd fire up the players and the fans, he's a legend at ER and was a great player, and he's probably better suited to coaching us than either Marsch or Gracia, particularly if we go down. He's also English, young and hungry for coaching success.

Don't let it be Allardyce, ffs - that would be the last straw.

Big Sam's teamsheet v City

Robles
Ayling
Koch
Wober
Cooper
Struik
Rasmus
Firpo
Foreshaw
Rocca
Willy

A back 6 with 3 holding midfielders and just pump it up to Willy and hope for the best 😂

Macca, wonder did he have Rodrigo at Bolton all those years ago?

Been out of game for 2 years and absolutely stank it out at west brom.

It’s embarrassing whats happening

Ooh I'm not sure but I do remember when he was at Bolton they played some really good stuff so he's not always a boring bar steward with his teams but he'll have to obviously make us tighter if that's possible and I expect it will not be pretty but if it gets us a draw and a win he can have the freedom of Leeds in my book.
It might not happen though so you just can't predict anything with Leeds as they're probably giving Harry Redknapp a call as well.

I was thinking similarly about this today - 2 banks of 4 defenders and our 2 fastest players hanging out on the half way line waiting for the long hopeful ball.

What is going on ffs??
Sacking Gracia will not make any difference to our current plight. Four games left. They're making him a scapegoat. The Leeds ship was holed below the waterline before his appointment. What faint hope there is to avoid the drop rests now with the players themselves. You can't polish a tyrd as they say.

What's more embarrassing is us swapping places with Luton. We'd do anything to avoid relegation tbh.

A dinosaur coaching a bunch of fossils.
What can possibly go right?

Imagine Allardyce derailing Pep's title bid 😏

At this point, rolling the dice on Big Sam (who else
fancies it?) could work. If nothing else, he'll put a
rocket up the ar$e of this pathetic squad.

I'm more in on getting Orta the fck out of the club.
If by tomorrow he's gone, plus Gracia, and Allardyce
is in, fine by me. Alternative is we're relegated with
nothing but a whimper.

All those season ticket monies that ST holders donated to the club after not being able to attend due to pandemic, instead of taking the refund, has been spent on this shambles.

Club has just so disrespected the hands that feed it.

They could get Pep Guardiola in and it wouldn’t have any effect on this bunch of duds. The man who most needs to go is Victor Orta so that in summer we can start recruiting a team that will get us out of the Championship.

Seems to me that appointing Allardyce smacks of the Venables/Reid appointments during the Ridsdale period. Old dinosaurs parachuted in at enormous expense to do sweet FA. Fugging clueless. If Radrizzani really wants to show some balls, he'd sack Orta before sacking Gracia. Orta has got to go. Now. Like, yesterday.

Ba$tards - I'm starting to get as mad as hell about this. Bielsa masked the incompetence of the management and got the best out of a bunch of mediocre donkeys. We've bought nothing but more mediocre donkeys ever since - with one or two exceptions when Orta just got lucky.

Total fugging sh1tshow.

Batty👍, yours is the view that I agree with most. Not that I disagree with all the other comments in condemnation of the club. I also 100% agree with those. However, we’re desperate. I’m not too proud to admit it. I’d try just about anything to stay up as - if we go down - we stay there for many, many years.

I didnt give a penny back, absolute shambles, this lot.

Talk about heaping embarrassment on top of embarrassment.

We're going down, isn't that enough for the rest of the country to laugh at? Absolutely ridiculous.

And a big NOOOOO to Lee Bowyer as well.

Is Ken Bates back in charge?
