Rasmus said much the same at the fans forum

Did you go to the same school of metrics as Rasmus? What metrics would you be referring to exactly? Kept a very average, injury stricken Leeds team up last season, and had them sitting above the relegation zone when he was sacked. What would non-failure look like as Leeds manager?

Hoedt vs Tella on Sky Sports

Where have I seen that before? 🤔😂 Great post and welcome

Exactly this. He didnt 'fail' at Leeds. Given the setbacks you've highlighted, he did an excellent job keeping them up last season. He also had them sitting outside the relegation zone by the time he was sacked two weeks ago. Yes Leeds fans would have expected them to be rivalling Brighton, Fulham or Brentford's form this season, but they could do with tempering their expectations

Will wait and see what the contract is, but it appears we're not tying ourselves down long term. Could make a change sooner rather than later if things dont pan out. On things turning sour again, I think there is a growing realisation amongst fans that we're 95% relegated. Going down will not be Marsch's doing and I think fans will be alot more patient with him, as long as the football looks good

I'll give him until 2pm saturday when I see Janny B and Lyanco in the starting lineup 😂😂

Would have preferred NES, but not sure he was a realistic option for us. Marsch is still a great appointment for a Championship club, which is what we will be in 2/3 months

While we're seeing what Adkins is doing these days, we should also give Strachan a call 😂

N'Lundulu was pretty dreadful

Pretend we're considering Wilder, Lampard, Rooney, Allardyce etc, so when we do announce Marsch, it looks like a good appointmemt Ankersen:

Wtf is this. Ravel Morrison, Christian Benteke and Brandon Williams? The Sun do themselves no favours at times 😂

Does Ankersen just draw up a shortlist of one person when making managerial appointments? I know we're hardly attractive right now, but I'm feeling very underwhelmed. Its bad when people are having to use Jones' tenure as the yardstick for justifying Marsch

If you've pulled that from wiki then it includes cup games. His PL record is played 32, won 8, drew 9 and lost 15. 33 points. Just over a point a game 😕

Just shows what confidence and good coaching/organisation can do for this team. Ralph had us really firing during that spell, the win away to Spurs was one of the best attacking performances from us in recent years. Would love to see a managerial appointment which gets an immediate response from the team

Yes I'm fully aware of all the work that continually goes on in the background and phone/in person conversations will have been had etc. But are there any formal interviews to understand whether our preferred candidate is indeed the best candidate for the job. If there are, I very much doubt all those interviews have already taken place. Or does Ankersen just take them for their word "yes I've spoken to him, hes interested, lets move now". Perhaps if we had've drilled down into Jones a bit more, the red flags would have been evident

Um....in case you didnt know, we track alot of managers for an extended period of time. We dont just start suddenly looking at them when we need a replacement. The out of depth muppet wouldnt have been the only one we were tracking. What I mean is Ralph was sacked and we jumped in record time to appoint Jones. Perhaps we should take a breath and weigh up all possible options, before appointing Marsch

Are we going to consider/interview a few candidates or are we just going straight to appointing Marsch? If we've learnt our lessons, we should really exercise due diligence before appointing the next manager

Lyanco would be delighted with that 😂

Nuno won the Championship at a canter with Wolves. Experience which will be vital next season. He has a nice cushy job in Saudi Arabia at the moment, although did speak with Wolves about a return before they brought in Lopetegui

As much as Marsch might be an ok appointment, our squad would hardly be inspired by somebody who has just got the sack from one of our relegation rivals. And our shithouse squad desperately needs inspired

Would also scare the shit out of season ticket sales for next season 😂

Got a funny feeling its going to be Nuno. Spurs was too big a step but he done a fantastic job at Wolves. Going from Spurs to the Championship would be a big drop off, but he might be persuaded

No I meant I could see him at a Cardiff or Rotherham or Reading etc midway through next season when they sack their manager. Yes hes failed miserably in the PL, but some lower half championship teams will take a punt on him
