LAURA WOODS struggled to hold back tears as a Leeds fan embarked on an epic rant on talkSPORT over the potential appointment of Sam Allardyce.
A report emerged earlier that the Elland Road club “have sacked Javi Gracia” after just 11 matches in charge and are set to hire Big Sam to try and save them.
The Spaniard replaced Jesse Marsch in the dug-out in February but he has won just three of his 11 matches in charge.
Sunday’s 4-1 defeat at Bournemouth was the club’s five-straight loss and only goal difference separates them from 18th-placed Nottingham Forest.
Now owner Andrea Radrizzani, who told a fan that he is “responsible for this s***” after Leeds suffered a fifth-straight defeat, will pull the trigger with just four games left to save their Premier League status.
We revealed last night that Allarduce was a shock candidate to take over.

Relegation specialist Big Sam, 68, has been out of management for two years after last working at West Brom.
The former England boss has worked for several Premier League clubs over an illustrious career, including Bolton and West Ham, and has a reputation for swooping in to save clubs from the drop.
Although his last rescue attempt, when he arrived at West Brom midway through the 2020-21 season saw the club relegated to the Championship.

They began by saying: “Well I’ve stopped crying anyway.”
That instantly sent Arsenal fan Woods and co-host Ally McCoist into hysterics.
They continued: “Sam Allardyce, what’s the point? Four games left, paying somebody a load of money just on a hope and a prayer that we’re going to get a result at West Ham.
“These clowns! Radz, should just sell the club now, let’s get the [San Francisco] 49ers in, spend the money on a proper manager, instead of these sausages.”
He then went on to blast “sicknote” striker Patrick Bamford for his glaring miss against Leicester last week, saying: “He looked like Peter Crouch had shrunk in the wash and tripped over his shoe-laces.”
The laughter continued to fill the studio as Woods and McCoist struggled to hold back, and it got even harder towards the end of the call.
The fan added: “I get kinky time off my wife when Leeds get a result. I haven’t been to second base in months.”
And that sparked even more laughter from the hosts as they struggled to get any words out as the fan finished by demanding that the club should “start from scratch”.
