Laura Woods had to stifle laughter as a furious Leeds fan revealed a little too much about himself during a hilarious radio phone-in.
Woods was hosting her show on talkSPORT Breakfast on Tuesday when she and co-host Ally McCoist took a call from Leeds fan Mick. It is a tumultuous time at Elland Road at present, with the club preparing to appoint Sam Allardyce as manager in a desperate attempt to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Leeds are dangerously poised just outside of the relegation zone on goal difference after taking just one point from their last five games. They announced the departure of director of football Victor Orta on Tuesday and manager Javi Gracia is set to follow him, having only been appointed in February to replace Jesse March.
It’s a real mess, but at least Woods and McCoist were able to see the funny side of things, thanks to Mick. “Well, I’ve stopped crying anyway, that’s for sure,” he began exuberantly, with Woods already in hysterics in the studio.
“Sam Allardyce – what’s the point? I mean, four games left, pay somebody a load of money on a hope and a prayer that we’re going to get a result at West Ham. These clowns, they might as well… Radz (owner Andrea Radrizzani) might as well sell the club now! Let’s get the 49ers in, spend the money on a proper manager, instead of a bunch of sausages.
“I mean, [Patrick] Bamford, he’s got a bigger sick note than Darren Anderton. Did you see that miss?! He looked like Peter Crouch had shrunk in the wash and tripped over his shoelaces! Sausage!
“You don’t realise, I get kinky time from my wife off a Leeds result – I haven’t been to second base in months! They’re crucifying me, this club, honestly! Radz just needs to go, let’s get the new owners in and start from scratch.”
By the time he had finished his bizarre rant, Woods and McCoist were in stitches and had tears of laughter in their eyes. There is unlikely to be anyone laughing at Leeds at the moment, though.
The club are expected to announce the departure of Gracia following the damaging 4-1 thrashing by Bournemouth on the weekend. That defeat ensured they made history for the wrong reason, becoming the first Premier League side in history to concede 23 goals in a single calendar month.
Leeds United Supporters Advisory Board issued a statement of no confidence in the club's management after that defeat. Meanwhile, the club was also forced to issue a statement to apologise to fans after a video of the players ignoring away fans waiting for signatures went viral.
