Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch will be in charge of the Yorkshire side on Sunday for their clash at home against Fulham with the backing of the board.
This has been suggested by the reliable Whites reporter Phil Hay who has been speaking about the American’s future on his latest podcast.
It has been a testing start to the campaign for the Whites who now find themselves in the relegation mix following their defeat on Thursday against Leicester City.
The Foxes were able to close the gap on Marsch’s side with Leeds unable to lay a glove on Brenden Rodgers’ struggling side at the King Power Stadium.
Despite the frustration among the Leeds fans, Hay believes there is no immediate concerns from Marsch over his position at the club:
“My understanding as of last night, as Thursday night, was that he would be there for the Fulham game. He was speaking afterwards as if he expected to be there. For the Fulham game. He was asked a lot about his future and support from the board.
“And he did front up to the questions, but said that, you know, as far as he was concerned, he thought the board would back him he felt that they were unified. He thought they would stick this out. And that seems to be sort of I mean, these things change, but that seems to be the message as it stands at the moment.”
TIF Thoughts on Hay’s comments…
It is certainly a massive call the Leeds board have to make and, for now, we do think they have made the right decision whilst the bottom of the table is so tight.
Marsch in or Marsch out?
In
Out
Just two wins could see Marsch’s men surge up the table with eighth place Brighton & Hove Albion just six points above the struggling Yorkshire side.
The World Cup break is coming up and we think this is when the decision should be made as it will allow the club to potentially bring in a new face where they will have over a month to get a grip on the squad before the league restarts.
