A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to Adam Pope’s latest tweet as he claimed he was staggered that there are now some Whites supporters who are calling for Marcelo Bielsa’s head after Leeds lost 1-0 to Wigan Athletic on Saturday.
The BBC reporter then said at this stage, the last thing that Leeds need to do is change coach.
What should Leeds do with Bielsa?
Yes, he could cost them promotion
No, sacking him would be madness
This has gathered quite the response from a few Leeds fans who also can’t understand why some fans now want Bielsa to be sacked.
Still in a great position. Bit staggered by those calling for his head. Last thing you want now is to change head coach.

Deluded bonkersness to the nth degree?

Mad to call for his head but he does need a plan b and can’t keep new players out of team and playing BAMFORD who is useless scored the other day thought he was God’s gift

It’s ridiculous, but so leeds that part of our fan base think replacing Marcelo would be a good idea. I just hope & pray he knows it’s a minuscule % because if not he’d probably apologise & walk away.

Ridiculous https://t.co/XeMGh7Wphk sure most of it is because of frustration as we can see that we are the best team in the league apart from the inability to finish enough chances and remembering last season.Beware what you wish for.

Would be a disaster if we lost Bielsa… he’s absolutely transformed our club and the players. All Leeds fans need to remind themselves of that during the dark times, but @apopey can you please ask him how on earth Bamford and Kiko are still anywhere near the first team!?!

Anyone calling for his head needs to take a look at themselves! He does need to stop being so stubborn tho. Team needs a change up end of! Put money on the same team Saturday however

It’s a loud and idiotic minority

What do we think?
The Whites are in a sticky patch of form at possibly the worst time in the season.
With 16 matches remaining, Leeds have only won two of their last nine league games, and both of those were far from convincing.
They still have a three-point gap to third place as the likes of Brentford, Nottingham Forest, and Fulham struggle to put a run of results together.
On Saturday, the Whites created loads of chances but could not finish one, and some fans feel that Bielsa will cost them promotion.
However, Bielsa is arguably the reason Leeds are in this position anyway, so sacking him would be crazy.
