Report reveals when Leeds board will consider sacking Marsch; two games crucial to decision - The Boot Room 22/10/22

Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch disappeared straight down the tunnel as his side lost out at Leicester City in midweek.

It was yet another abject performance from Leeds. Despite an improved second period, the Whites never really looked like troubling the Foxes, who have been enduring a tough season themselves in the Premier League.

Of course, Marsch faced tricky questions following the loss but he remained determined in his approach and answers, insisting things can pick up. And according to The Telegraph, that is a stance the Leeds board share. For now.

The Telegraph reports how the Leeds board remain behind Marsch’s plan and vision for now and there is a belief that the break for the World Cup will give Marsch and the entire club a chance to make minor tweaks and look at what can improve performance from December onwards.

However, two games are set to be crucial in the period leading up to the World Cup and could have a big bearing on whether or not Leeds pull the trigger. Home clashes with Fulham and Bournemouth are seen by Leeds as ideal chances to get points on the board. Both promoted teams are in good form, though, so those three points might not be as easy to get as some think.

TBR’s View: Leeds And Marsch Need A Win

There is no doubt Jesse Marsch is under huge pressure now at Leeds. His demeanour was that of a man feeling the heat on Thursday night and he looked in trouble.

He will be desperate to see his side pick up some points. At times, elements of the performance have been there and the energy we expect to see from a Leeds side has caused some teams problems.

Leeds simply need to start finishing chances off and cut out the silly mistakes. If they do that, then those three points they crave might not be too far away.

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
