[Football] Ted Lasso sacked by Leeds

[Lurchy]

The obvious choice would be Hassenhutl as a replacement, but with them both having come through the Red Bull system would that be too similar?

They have said they want a long term project manager, but to revolutionise the way they play when they’re in the relegation mix is a huge gamble.

Comment on the BBC Have your say:

'I've heard that Bielsa is on their bucket list.'

 

[Stato]

He seemed a total bell but tbh he actually kept them up last season.

This. They were absolutely going down with Bielsa at the helm.

They would have gone down with Marsch too, if it wasn't for Brentford deciding to take the last week of the season off.

 

[Insel affe]

Nathan should be available after 5:30

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I really don't think Marsch was all that bad.

Yes it was vaguely amusing to listen to his Ted Talk manner, but under their previous (and for some odd reason exulted) manager they were shipping goals all over the place. American Jesse at least got them organised and competitive. Leeds position in the league is about right given the side they're putting out.

The fans booed him from the off and his mistake was to go looking for their acceptance rather than be his own man (witness his embarrassing histrionics at the Amex).

Hopefully they re-appoint Bielsa and they can **** off out of this division for as long as they like

Hopefully they go for Lampard

Lampard.
Gerrard.
Pardew.

Not fussy which one!

Over on Wackjob (WACCOE) they seem to think they can get Pochetino, as they're a big club.

I mean after a champions league final with top 4 Spurs, managing some of the world's best players at Frances biggest club, who wouldn't want a relegation scrap with neanderthal fans for a club that came second in Europe about 50 years ago.

Deluded tw*ts

Pochettino?!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Mourinho wants to come back the PL.....

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Should be easy to attract a quality replacement. Massive club, excellent team, tremendous fans, Champions League football, etc.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Calling Fat Frank or Fat Sam

Apparently Bielsa was interviewed by Everton. It would be great to see him back as Leeds manager….

 

[studio150]

Strange one, just a few days after the window has closed.
In their current situation, they really need someone with a working knowledge of the PL.

But being Leeds if they come knocking who could possibly turn down the biggest club in world football.

 

[Eric the meek]

Surely it can't be good for your confidence to be sacked over and over again.

I can't think of any other profession like football manager.

 

[portlock seagull]

Leeds fans need to understand they’re a) not a rich club b) an established PL club c) an especially well run club. 17th is a decent finish in this respect.

But if deluded, entitled and arrogant was a winning formula they’d be unstoppable.

The money sure helps!

You couldnt..... Only or unless you were simultaneously offered the Sheffield Wednesday hotseat.

Right, 3 year contract, only have to put in 11 months and then get a big pay off for the rest.

Worse things can happen in a career.

Imagine how much Watford are splashing out for their five managers a year.

No-one will touch them unless he gets a long contract.

I found him absolutely insufferable…

 

[Stato]

It was always a strange Hyypia type appointment. He won the double with RB Salzburg, but they win the Austrian League every year. He joined RB Leipzig and got sacked in less than half a year, with the worst ppg of any manager they've had since the RB takeover. He arrived at Leeds when they were 16th. He sold Phillips and Raphina and then spent all the profits and more, half of it on Americans and players he had previously signed for RBs Salzburg & Leipzig. He left when they were 17th. Considering that Bielsa's side had only sunk so low because his system required Phillips and he wouldn't/couldn't find anyone who could play Phillips' role after he got injured, he leaves them considerably poorer in both financial and squad strength terms.

Potter's next job in a week or two?
