That’s the ‘rumour’. Sincerely hope it’s more nuanced if they’ve come to parting terms with him. No way does he deserve a quick exit.

I am convinced Marcelo Bielsa would’ve turned it around and kept #lufc up. Why? Just look at every Jan/Feb under Bielsa.

Each year there’s a run of 8 games with an identical record: P8 W2 D1 L5

This year: P9 W2 D1 L6 https://t.co/5X43iL0uId

From LUST
With no official confirmation from the club about the future of Marcelo Bielsa, we have been in touch to ask for clarity & asked for a call with the board.

We’re urging the club to communicate clarity with fans & show Marcelo the respect his tenure deserves.

Looks like it will be mutual agreement which is a polite way of saying getting sacked. :thumbdown:

RB Leipzig head coach Jesse Marsch is ready to take over which looks to me like this was planned before some of the bad results that has happened or during them.

Anyone who wants Bielsa to go now is not a true fan in my eyes,He deserves to correct the mistakes that have been made as there are still a lot of games to go as he has said he can get us out of the rut.

If he is sacked and the other one takes his place he is still left with the very same squad + injuries so I see no way how he could change that the only change that would occur if the injured players come back what is to say they will not fight tooth n nail for Bielsa/Leeds to stay up I think at least two of the injured will do that but if Bielsa is sacked then the plaudits will go to the new guy and not to Bielsa and the injured players.

Apologies for the ramble and hope the above makes some sort of sense to everyone here.

I do have more to say on this but my stomach is churning and dreading the sad news that Bielsa will go very soon. :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
