SAM ALLARDYCE earned a whopping £20,000 PER DAY at Leeds United despite the club being relegated.
Big Sam has left Elland Road after failing to keep them up in his four games in charge as the search for replacement begins.
His 25-day stint means he now holds the record for shortest time in charge of a Premier League club.
Allardyce would have received a whopping £3million if he had kept Leeds in the top-flight.
But Sunday's 4-1 home loss against Tottenham sent the Whites down by five points – while rivals Everton, who stayed up, and Leicester, both won.
However, despite failing to stop the slide to the Championship, the 68-year-old has still walked away with a hefty sum for the Yorkshire outfit despite not winning a single game.

Allardyce incredibly earned a tidy half a million quid for his efforts.
That equates to £20,000 a day, £833.33 per hour and £13.88 for each minute he was in the job.
Allardyce had previously performed miracles in ensuring Crystal Palace and Sunderland avoided the drop.
And Leeds were praying he could do the same again – as their third manager this season.

The Whites axed Jesse Marsch in late February and interim chief Javi Gracia in early May.
But Leeds picked up just one point from Allardyce's four matches.
After opening with a 2-1 loss at champions-to-be Manchester City on May 6, the Whites rescued a creditable 2-2 home draw with Newcastle.
But they then slumped 3-1 at West Ham and by an even bigger margin at Spurs – when they needed to pick up three points and hope for help from elsewhere.
