Allardyce’s last job in England’s top flight was at West Brom – however, his tenure there was not a success, as the Baggies were relegated under his watch.

At Newcastle, Allardyce was not a popular figure amongst Magpies fans, winning just eight of his 24 games at the club. His tedious brand of football was not well-received at St. James’ Park – nevertheless, if he can keep Leeds in the Premier League, the Elland Road massive will treat him like a god.
