Can't believe they appointed him in the first place. A very poor decision. If they can get a Manager to get the rebound effect then it's worth the risk.

Not sure anyone will want to take the job on, unless its an internal appointment for four games.
With Leeds conceding goals at an alarming rate, their goal difference could take a real hammering with City away and Newcastle home the next two games.

Leeds v Everton in the Championship next season does have a satisfying ring.
I’d be open to it but want an upgrade on the Bielsa flat above the chippy.
I’m also not prepared to do any PR for Wakey Wine.

Sacking him now with 4 games to go seems pretty pointless. No point changing with so little of their season left.
Get a new manager in before the summer and assess the squad though, that way he will have the transfer window to move on dead wood, and bring in any prospective new players.

The last few years have been a troubling, unnerving time with us heading into so many unknowns.

But it’s good to see that Leeds are back to sacking a manager every few months. Nature is healing.

Funny old game. I detest Leiccester with their dodgy deals to get the stadium on the cheap via the admin route before spending loads of cash on players, for their happy clappy clapper fans and goal music shite. They deserve relegation. Them, Leeds and Palace would have been the perfect trio - two out of three would be decent though
Yep. A ten Bob fine for cheating FFP to get promoted in the first place.
The old saying that cheats don’t prosper wasn’t made for Leicester apparently- people have short memories!

Potter needs to get up M1, get self one of them Leeds ‘bun’ haircuts and crack on. Ambitious project for an ambitious man.
I'd imagine his next job will be a nice easy one.
Where he can kick around in the bottom half of the table and hope for a decent second half to the last game of the season.

Admit I called this wrong. Astonished he hasn’t been sacked yet.

If I were a Leeds fan I’d be fuming. I love football and have watched far too many full match replays of teams irrelevant to us…

Under Gracia their defending is comical. Worse than Bob Bradley or Tim Sherwood - two of the most clueless managers in setting up a defensive system in PL history.

They weren’t great under Marsch but his system is diabolical - the players don’t understand/care.

I wish we were playing them on Thursday - would be another 5-6 goals for us.
