Martin O'Neill says the match against Newcastle United is a 'must-win' fixture for Leeds United, as he delivered his verdict on Big Sam. The now 71-year-old, who was last in the dugout at Nottingham Forest in 2019, is no stranger to the Elland Road boss having come up against him in his managerial career.
Like Allardyce, O'Neill has managed at international level when he had a spell with the Republic of Ireland and the two have crossed footballing paths before.
Wins for Nottingham Forest and Everton yesterday dumped Leeds into the bottom three and they are now 19th with just three games remaining and two points from safety.
