John Giles has hit out at his former club Leeds United over the appointment of Sam Allardyce as manager.
Leeds appointed Big Sam on an initial four-game contract during the week in an attempt to steer the club away from the relegation zone.
But Leeds legend Giles, who made 525 appearances for the club, is not bit happy with the appointment.

He told Off The Ball: "I was very worried about them. I thought a few weeks ago they'd get through it. The last few weeks, I'd be very worried about my old team.
"The appointment of Sam Allardyce has made me even more worried, but when he was in management, he wasn't that good.
"When he was at West Ham, the fans hated him. He went to Everton, the fans hated him there.
"He had a good spell early on at Bolton, but that was it. He got the England job and he was sacked within two weeks. I think he lasted one match as England manager and then was sacked."
He added: "I never fancied him as a manager, he was too mouthy for my liking. I played against him as a player, he was very ordinary; plenty of mouth, without producing it.
"So, he's coming back to Leeds now, with four matches to save them from relegation, but immediately he's talking about the best managers in the game at the moment, that he's as good as them. Well, he must have improved a lot since he went out of management."
