But we are going to start with some breaking news.
Sam Allardyce has left Leeds following their relegation from the Premier League.
Yeah, it has now been confirmed.
Allardyce, as we know, took charge of their final four matches, replacing Xavi Grazia,
but could only manage one point from those games
as their three-year stay in the Premier League came to an end.
It is just the second time in Allardyce's managerial career
that he's been relegated from the Premier League,
albeit he didn't have very long, did he?
Leeds say that an announcement on a new head coach will be made in the coming weeks.
Well, Allardyce has had this to say.
It's been an honour to manage Leeds United,
a great club with an incredible fan base who deserve to be in the Premier League.
At this stage in my career, I'm not sure taking on this challenge,
which is potentially a long-term project, is something I would commit to.
But I wish the club every success for the future
and hope the club returns to the Premier League where they belong.
Leeds Chief Executive Angus Kinnear said,
We thank Sam for being brave enough to step in and do all he could to try and save us.
Sadly, it wasn't to be, but Sam, Carl and Robbie did everything they could
to lift the mood at Thorp Arch and Ellum Road.
And for that, we are extremely grateful.
