Leeds board held talks on Sunday evening regarding Jesse Marsch after loss - Leeds News 25/10/22

The Mail+ claim that the Leeds United board met to discuss
Jesse Marsch and the club’s poor start to the 2022-23 campaign on Sunday
evening, after the loss to Fulham. However, it was not to consider replacing
the American boss.
Instead, the meeting was held in order to find ways in which
to help Marsch moving forward. The ex-Leipzig manager has watched his Leeds
side lose four Premier League matches in a row, and pick up two points from a
possible 24.
The pressure is mounting on Marsch. A woeful performance at
Leicester last Thursday was followed by an improved effort in the 3-2 defeat at
Fulham. But a lack of confidence, cutting edge and defensive organisation was
on show.
The report states that the Leeds board – likely comprising
of Andrea Radrizzani, Victor Orta and Angus Kinnear – met on Sunday evening.
Fresh, from watching the 3-2 loss to Fulham. Mail+ say it was not to find
Marsch’s replacement.
MailPlus’ Ian Ladyman claims they are trying to help Marsch:
“On Sunday night at Elland Road the discussions at board room level were not
about jettisoning Marsch but finding ways to support him.”
There is no doubt that Marsch is under pressure. While it is
admirable that the board are continuing to show loyalty towards Marsch, the
fans are becoming more and more unhappy. The atmosphere is edging towards
toxic.
The issue for Leeds fans is that during the eight-game run
without a win, Leeds have not faced the toughest of Premier League opposition.
In their next three games before the World Cup, they face Liverpool,
Bournemouth and Tottenham.
How is Marsch going to get a win from those games? Liverpool
at Anfield, despite their form, is going to be incredibly hard. Bournemouth is
a winnable fixture, but Spurs in London is surely another loss. Marsch is up
against it.
