One less team to worry about I suppose.

We have been linked/had some weird relationship with RB for years, before Marsch. Aaronson was supposed to come in January, whilst Bielsa was in charge but they couldn't come to an agreement and Aaronson wanted to play in the Champions League. Bielsa was offered Roca a year before we signed him and said no. Victor Orta has dealt with transfers and ran them past managers since he arrived. He was frustrated with Bielsa because Bielsa turned so many down. You're linking all these players to Marsch via Red Bull despite being told we had a relationship with Red Bull in the past, hence the reason we got Jesse. I also don't think Marsch was a big reason we signed McKennie considering we sacked him like 6 days after McKennie came in. Glad you're excited to see him take charge of your relegation fight.

Why?

Because Salzburg are the Man City of Austria, it's not hard to do well there as a manager. It's like praising someone for winning the SPL and thinking they could implement those same tactics to a lower half premier league side and get results. The result was 100% due to the tactics, if the players were struggling to implement what he was trying to do then it's his responsibility, as a manager to change them. Leeds players didn't know who was supposed to press or go out wide to defend, it happened a lot. Again about the signings, just because Marsch was the manager at the time of the signings does not make them his signings. our DoF sings and deals with the players, something he struggled to do under Bielsa. Marsch would've just been told who's coming in.

His time at Leeds is the best indicator to go off considering why you'd be hiring him? He follows the Red Bull game plan, he doesn't have one himself. Also a little off topic of how he would do but the signings aren't his signings. I have no doubt they would run them past him but he really doesn't seem the type to cause any issues. Victor Orta went to Bielsa with multiple players and he refused a lot, I can't see Marsch doing that. Some of our signings have not been great. Adams and Wober have been great, as well as Gnonto however that transfer wasn't as straight forward, we weren't even supposed to be signing him when we did. The rest are very hit and miss. Also the let down by sloppy goals is a massive understatement. Those sloppy goals happened week in and week out, they were a result of the tactics Marsch implemented in our team, everyone in the ground and social media could all see it but nothing changed. You're in a very similar position to ourselves when he took over, yours looking a little bit worse than ours did. Under Marsch we went down the table.

You seem to be speaking to the only Leeds fans that rated him. Quite some achievement. 2 wins in 17 with the majority of the goals conceded in very similar ways (back post being left wide open) He doesn't play with wingers so anyone you've got that's a wide player isn't going to have a great time. Play so narrow you lose the ball all the time as there's no space to pass the ball into. he talks a good talk but his football is truly horrible to watch no one could really figure out what his game plan was and there was no plan b. His substitutes or lack of subs often caused us to lose points. I'm sure if you went onto the Leeds forums to get their opinion there's more negative than good. We were going down with Marsch in charge, probably bottom of the league and he was sacked later than most would've wanted. We played horrible football when he first joined, Marsch wasn't the reason "we stayed up" we were bad under Marsch and we eventually dropped into the relegation zone whilst Marsch was here, something we hadn't done before. I understand a lot of people will think it's an "Anti-American" thing to talk negatively about his time at Leeds but it genuinely was awful, the football was terrible, the tactics were terrible and when things were not going our way (which was a lot) there was nothing done about it, we had some memorable moments under Marsch (Norwich last minute winner) (Bournemouth 4-3 come back) but we should'nt have even been in those positions in the first place. I don't understand the reasoning behind him being "unfortunate", unfortunate in what way? He lasted longer than a lot of other managers would have done and clearly only got the job because of our links with Red Bull and his.

Just popped in here to say that Cityfanlee is talking absolute waffle. You don't want Marsch
