[Football] Ted Lasso sacked by Leeds

[WATFORD zero]

just got off the phone with the leeds chairman. apparently i was first choice but I have also turned them down. anyone else had a smilar call?

2 days ago. You were obviously way down the first choice list

This is going to be EPIC!!

They have finally realised that neither Iralo or Gallardo are interested - more politely expressed as "Do not want to engage in a new project toward the end of a season" so they will be hiring an interim manager. So Benitez? Bruce? Hodgson? Whoever it is, the fall out is going to be hilarious!


Popcorn in!!!

Bruce or Hodgson would be brilliant, for everyone not connected with Leeds.

Pardew?

 

[Simster]

How many more knockbacks do there have to be before they ask Joe Kinnear?

 

[jcdenton08]

Pardew?

Please let this happen.

Who was it that recently (last year or two, I think (that sacked their manager, then took forever to appoint a replacement after reported targets kept dropping out?

Tottenham?

 

[Horses Arse]

Pardew?

Oh go on then, he can be in it too!

You must be joking here, surely. He's on the list too. Any more? The Dutch palace guy must still be out of a job. Hockaday has unfinished business too. Shame Steve Evans is employed.

Pack in the Pardew talk please. I never want to see him in the country let alone the EPL.

How on earth did the Leeds big nobs decide to sack Ted without having someone lined up first? Amateur night and no mistake.

Spoilsport, there's always an opportunity for a dancing muppet!

It is bizarre isn’t it.. surely if you are days from sacking someone, or have decided it’s inevitable, you might sound out a few potential options. Keeping Jesse for the recent & imminent games must have been better than having no manager.

 

[Acker79]

Tottenham?

I didn't think it was that high profile, but looking at their manager history, Mourinho went 19th April 2021, and Nuno was appointed 30 June, so it's quite likely them.

 

[Easy 10]

Whoever they appoint now will come in knowing he was waaaaayyy down their shortlist (if he was ever on it at all)

Alfred Schreuder is very nearly (but not quite) an anagram of schadenfreude.

lolz.

Jesse is unbelievably now 1/4 to be next Southampton manager! Leeds next home match is of course vs Southampton...

"We Marsch On" is undoubtedly trending on twitter

A few journalists think Leeds will now go for an interim manager until the summer. There may well be more choice for the job in the summer, but an interim manager til then doesnt fix the problem of them being in a relegation battle. They still need an interim who is capable enough of keeping them up. After all their big club talk, and the whole Ben White saga, them getting relegated would be delicious.
