Leeds United supporters hail 'correct' Sam Allardyce decision in managerial message to board

Leeds United supporters have told the club's board to sort out the ownership after making the correct call to part ways with Sam Allardyce. The outgoing Whites boss took charge of the final four games of the season, which culminated in relegation.

The former West Ham United and Sunderland boss took just one point from his four games in charge, with the damage already done prior to his arrival. Leeds say a managerial announcement will arrive in the coming weeks, with Angus Kinnear thanking Allardyce for his short-term work at Elland Road.

Leeds fans have taken to social media to have their say on who should replace Allardyce, with former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo among their suggestions. Brendan Rodgers and Barnsley boss Michael Duff are also among supporters' early choices.

Here's a look at what Leeds United supporters had to say on social media:

@ajg8701 tweeted: "Correct decision. Big Sam was always a short term appointment and it didn't pay off. We need to get someone in who's up for a challenge and a long term project."

@ExpatTennisFan tweeted: "This is the first of a lot of decisions that need to take place very quickly. At least they got this one right. Sam Allardyce was not the problem at #LUFC but neither was he the solution."

@GrantHeseltine said: "Now sort the ownership and go all-out for Rodgers!"

@JenoLUFC tweeted: "I wouldn’t mind Nuno think would be a great appointment for the club."

@Fontez01 said: "Bet they wouldn't do what he felt was needed e.g change of personnel and spending big."

@Leetrucker1 said: "I would go for Barnsley manager Michael Duff."
