Sam Allardyce expects to sit down with members of the Leeds United board this week to discuss how the club moves forward into a pivotal summer. Leeds saw their relegation to the Championship confirmed in pitiful circumstances on Sunday afternoon as they lost 4-1 to Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road to end a three-year stay in the Premier League.
The Whites struggled at the wrong end of the division for much of the season and rounding it off with a run of nine games without a win to seal their fate. Ultimately, after arriving at the club with just four games to go, there wasn’t a huge amount Allardyce could do to prevent United from surrendering their status in the top flight.
However, the head coach was still massively upset to have only picked up one point from the quartet of games he was given, alongside assistant coaches Robbie Keane and Karl Robinson. An inquest will already be underway at Elland Road as to where this campaign went wrong, but planning for next season must gather pace now, too, and deciding who will be in the hotseat come the start of pre-season is a huge decision that still needs to be made.
