On the club website now.

The last sentence doesn't sit easy with me. The fact they aim to make an announcement on a new appointment suggests this was probably a done deal before a ball was kicked yesterday.

Mate, with all due respect, I think the continued digs at people are a bit out of order. No one wanted rid of him. We all loved this era of Leeds and wanted to see continued success for the club and Marcelo. But for one reason or another, it's been a difficult year. But to make out that people wanted him gone, as if there was malicious intent, isn't fair in my eyes.

TBF Scott there have been those that have clearly stated on here they wanted him gone. That's their opinion, not everyones, but just as valid. I do however worry where we go now and how the players react. Sometimes people need to be careful what they wish for.

Perhaps yeah, but I imagine most people were looking at it from a football point of view and worrying about form and ability to escape relegation. Certain posters feel like they're suggesting a bit of malice from anyone with an opposing view. Feels unfair to me.

Re: Bielsa sacked have the Club made the right decision

Honestly wondering what the point is now. The hierarchy should be ashamed of themselves for the way they've executed this, regardless of whether it was the right footballing decision or not. They should be shouldering a huge part of the responsibility for this season's failings, but as ever Marcelo Bielsa, the best thing to happen to this club in my lifetime, will humbly take full responsibility while Orta and Kinnear get away with it.

Honestly couldn't really care what happens in the rest of the season now.
