Seems the most likely outcome. Something seems to have gone very wrong with the Crystal Palace game because afterwards we seem a complete bunch of no hopers. Will go down if he stays and probably still go down if he leaves.
Never thought Marsch was a good appointment by Orta and co, Rutter complete waste of money (even if he turns out decent not what we need to stay up), get rid of Marsch with no one lined up, complete farce.
At least the Man City game should be a chance to try something different with the team as we have nothing to lose.
Unfortunately, soon we start to realize that we were taking fewer trips to the water bottle wholesale and saving back on the can water. We begin to dread our need up to the pumps of water and we begin to wonder if there is an alternative.
if we can't get big Sam I'd go for Vinny Jones as caretaker boss,he loves Leeds,don't think he's filming right now and the players would be sh1ttless to not put in 110% effort,put a pick of Vin grabbing Gazza by the nuts or him booting the Fook out of opposition in the dressing room in case our dim cnuts don't know who he is!
we are running out of options,my plan B would be Bielsa as manager & DOF on a 15+ year contract.
obviously both a bit tongue in cheek but still better options than Sam fkn dinosaur Allerdyce.
Radz better hope he can sell us this summer as his position is becoming impossible if he is here next season...
We can't even attract an old past it dinosaur who is known for exactly this kind of job!
I suppose it's not as easy as that and Big Sam wants a big last pension....
Only with Leeds could we talking about this for a whole day with nothing happening. Reminds us of the manager search. Obviously can’t agree terms with Gracia or Allardyce. Would be funny if it wasn’t so serious and worrying.
Talk of Big Sam in the frame to take over.
ONLY FORKING LEEDS UNITED can go from Marcelo Bielsa to Sam Allardyce in the space of a year
Here are some Question for you to ponder.
1. Would Alfred Schrueder who style of football matches our squad make up done any better then what Garcia has done?
2. Where would we be if we had sacked Marsh when it was rumored that the 49's first suggested it to Orta after the 24th October 2022 loss to Leicester?
Since Signings Rutter we have given him 100 minutes of playing time and not even allowed him to play U21's to get match fitness. Can we explain this idiocy?
I never want managers to be sacked but it seems like our only option here,sack Gracia and hope we get a new manager bounce or we are down.
I would replace him with Benitez,Bielsa or Rodgers but I doubt any of them would touch us with 4 games left.
the club is in a right mess..
I believe that both Gracia and Orta will depart in the next 24 hours.
Gracia was dealt a bad hand but he's played it badly too. No point in him staying now.
Orta has made some good signings, but some stinkers too. The JKA situation is (in my opinion) more like a gross misconduct thing.
It's regrettable, but it's the right call.
Players escape the punishment because they have the big money contracts - they are on the balance sheet as assets and nobody chucks gold bars in the bin. That doesn't make it right - some have let us down.
The change at half time v Crystal Palace couldn't be clearer - that's a dressing room thing.
Gracia and his new approach wasn't a disaster when we got 3 wins in 6 games.
Footnote:
We have to be careful not to tar everyone with the same brush - Angus Kinnear looks after the commercial and strategic operation of the club and although people have started to blame him I think that's wrong - his part of the running of the club has ben excellent - we're solvent, in financial control and massively grown since his arrival.
The disaster at Leeds is the footballing arm. Orta and his managers and their players.
Very difficult to see Gracia not being sacked. Generally, the opening minutes of our games are good, but the apparently inevitable fatal error makes everything fall apart - against Palace after 40 minutes, in other games earlier. What has happened to the team and the players that gave Manscum two rather even and good matches?
