Is anyone still enjoying the "positives"

We should have stuck with Sgt. Wilko!

One bad result and all the Marsch lovers are coming out of the woodwork. For god's sake, listen to yourselves.

Lorra you are missing the point, it isn't that anyone thinks Marsch was a good appointment, he was attrocious, his sacking, when he was sacked is an example of how badly this club has been run.
You can debate until the cows come home whether Bielsa should have been sacked or not but the fact is we were heading down so given he was sacked, why did the board leave until the transfer window closed until they did the deed leaving Marsch with no opportunity to recruit. You either do it earlier or not at all.
Marsch was never the right choice but once appointed you don't then do exactly the same thing the following season but this time with no succssion plan in place. You either stick with Marsch to the end of the season, if you go down, you go down or you sack him early enough for it to be an attractive proposition for another manager to get his teeth into, give him window and a budget.
That's the point.
Nothing to do with being Marsch lovers.
He's a buffoon.

A lot have been saying for years we need a new squad of players. Now we are getting them, slowly but surely we'll get there. Farke knows what he is doing and will need time. We know a big chunk of the squad is too old or on its last legs. Some of the better players not interested, they are gone or going. Jack has done ok for us over the years but usually has a face like a smacked ar** and maybe he's seen enough. Give the manager and owners time to do what they have to, none of them strike me as people that like losing MOT

I look for positives away from the first team nowadays, the U18's featuring Alfie Cresswell winning 6-1 away to Stoke, second Hat-trick of the week for a Leeds player. Well done Lleyton Brown. gather ye rosebuds while ye may as they say.

2 bad results 👍


Rewind back to Jan. Played Villa and Brentford off the park, last 16 of the League cup at Fulham, playing them off the park.

Marsch was the wrong manager and never should have got the job nor got the following season, but we're way worse off now than we ever were under him.

Gracia was in charge for the FA cup game at Fulham, but take your point Shaun.

Hindsight's a wonderful thing and if knowing now that we went from bad to worse when Marsch left, yes we might have survived with him. But hands on heart, how many of us came on here and complained when he was sacked? I can't remember anyone defending him at the time.

Just me probably Lorra. Doesn’t make me right of course.

My view was we’d recruited for his style of football so why would a different manager with different style improve things before the end of the season? And Although I didn’t care much for the brand of football, or him particularly, my view was we were competitive in most matches and had improved performance wise in January, without getting any luck. Largely let down by individual player errors in my view.

I recognise that’s not a popular opinion, but I’m comfortable with it.

We didn't know behind the scenes we had the Marx brothers in charge.
We have been well and truly betrayed.

Unless 5 or 6 incredible new signings come in before the window closes my trust in this new regime is broken and I'm sure that view is shared by the vast majority of Leeds fans.

All those involved in this sickening situation have put Leeds United's future at severe risk of going back to the bad old days of being a laughing stock on an industrial scale. Let's see if these new owners who talk the talk can walk the walk and avert that depressing scenario.

This is fair.

Marsch was horrific and I can’t imagine a situation where he is successful in a competitive league.

But the players were recruited for his ridiculous style. Which is why the players weren’t very good. But trying to get them to play a better style of football was a like expecting a fox to look after the chickens.

We should never have hired him.

We should have sacked him after he kept up.

We should have sacked him before the World Cup.

By the time we actually sacked him we were probably just making it worse.
