There's lots of posts on Twitter already screaming for Thomas Frank.
Doesn't seem to occur to their tiny minds that they are expecting a manager with a chance of taking his club into Europe to swap it for one facing a relegation battle.

Well at least none of them has yet come out with (as far as I know), "I think we should just go and get that Italian bloke from Brighton"!

To think that we all took it so very seriously when leeds got promoted and promised champions league football after 1 season.

I think back to how Leeds behaved over Ben White. And how we behaved.
I'm still not entirely convinced that Leeds fully appreciated the implications of a loan agreement with no option to buy. It meant that to stay in the same position as when Ben White helped them achieve promotion, they would have had to offer the full value of Ben White, just to stay in the same position, and hope we would accept. Instead, they decided to set the price by a determined media campaign, justifying it to themselves because they considered Bielsa made him. I don't think they ever really got it.
The Bielsa and Marsch tenures only serve to confirm the arrogance and ignorance of the Leeds fans, who live in some kind of time warp of imagined past glories.

The Leeds job is a good job. They won't go down. They absolutely slaughtered Forest yesterday.
Southampton and Bournemouth have got shit Mangers at this level. They won't survive unless they change Managers AGAIN.
Leeds just need to stay calm and appoint someone with experience at PL level and they will be fine. Their players look plenty motivated for the fight.

He's just signed a long term contract extension with Brentford this last few weeks. Frank knows he's onto a good thing with the Bees, perfect match.
Southampton fan on some phone-in at the weekend said they'd take Poch back.
LOLs all round.

Leeds can probably pay him several times more than Brentford.
Brentford are just another Reading / Swansea dipping their toes in with the big boys and will be another middling championship club in a few years
Shame, he was taking Leeds down whilst embarrassing himself at every opportunity. The guy is more deluded than Gary O'Neill.

I imagine that's exactly how many of fans of "big clubs", including some from Leeds, see Brighton & Hove Albion too.

The obviously appointment is Nathan Jones, both successful at European level in equal measure

The most curious thing..
Except Leeds has never been a big club, other than a few years in the late 1960s and early 1970s under Don Revie.
That was 50 years ago.

Well they did except for the result....
I normally agree with you on football stuff and I've very little doubt that at least one of Saints and the Pluckies will go down but that leaves one or two relegation spots open. Realistically anyone from Palace down could fill them. Two wins separate Everton and Palace and six of those clubs have negative double digit goal difference, including Palace. Leeds don't, but seem unable to win games.
Their squad is very weak. The remnants of the Championship players with some Bielsa-ball in their legs, supplemented by some other Red Bull stalwarts who have the fitness, but not the ability to press strongly.
Added to the fact their fans are fanatical but incredibly entitled, insular and racist and I fail to see how it's a good job, other than the fact that you can retire comfortably when you fail at it.
