    The current demise of Leeds United.

    A once very very big club of yesteryear but, what's going off at Elland Road? All the fanfare was there to seen when Marcelo Bielsa took them back to the Prem but boy is it all going wrong since they sacked him.

    I suppose it doesn't help though when you offload your best three players to recoup £108.62 Million.
    Raphinha to Barcelona for £55.20 Million
    Kalvin Philips to City for £49.10 Million
    Heider Costa to Al lttihed Club for a loan fee of £4.32 Million.

    They virtually ripped the spine out of the team.

    Between them, Marsch and Belisa have attempted a rebuild at a cost of £89.86 Million but the wheels are now starting to come off. Fully expect Marsch to be on his way this week. He's obviously not delivering and the owner Andrea Radrizzani won't stand for that.

    The way things are going we could well see them at ours next season IF we retain status and they continue to slide like they have of late.

    Wonder what Rev72 makes of it all?

    With Fulham , Bournemouth , Brentford and Forest possibly starting to come to life it means three huge clubs could go down .

    At least two will in my opinion .

    Fulham , Brentford and Bournemouth aren't supposed to be cutting the mustard , some very big clubs currently shyting themselves .

    Probably goes against the majority here but it gives me no pleasure in seeing Leeds struggle, or Forest for that matter. I watch a lot of football and to be honest I'd rather watch a game involving these teams rather than Brentford or Bournemouth for instance. I follow Leeds fairly closely.

    The fact Leeds have hit the bottom 3 today will exacerbate pressure on the manager and I will honestly be surprised if he makes it to the World Cup break. The owners might decide the season stoppage is a good time to get someone else in, prior to the January window. I hope Leeds stay up but losing to Fulham at home ain't the way to go about it.

    Just seen MOTD and the manager says there's unity throughout the club and between him and the board. We'll see about that if there's any breaking news from Elland Road tomorrow morning 🤣

    But the fans are on the backs of the manager and the board. So to try to protect themselves the board will sack the manager.

    Leeds sacked their 'hero' in Bielsa after a horrific run of injury fueled results and then went out and got the man they wanted in Marsch who helped save their Premiership status last season. They then sell off their best assets and are now thinking of sacking the man they hand picked to manage them because of a short poor run of results. I like Leeds but if they do then I hope they get relegated.

    I'm sure the manager is toast, rinse and repeat.
    Forest are the perfect example of everything that's wrong in football, ditch the team that got you promoted and fetch in something like 24 new players, when they are relegated they could easily drop through the leagues or worse.

    They should have kept Cloughie.
