Leeds are falling apart again.

After shipping a Premier League record number of goals in a month, there's reports tonight that the permanently crouching Marcelo Bielsabub has been sacked.

Today's 4-0 drubbing against Spurs at Bellend Road seems to have been the last straw.

Well, Daragh Corcoran (Radio Leeds), Talk Sport and Sky Sports are all speculating that he's gone. Sky Sports (app) are suggesting Marsch (formerly of RB Leipzig ... not successful and, prior to that, Red Bull Salzburg ... more successful) is lined up.

60 goals conceded and 20 of those in this month alone apparently!!!

Gone.

Never mind Bielsa, he'll be laughing all the way to the bank. Can we spare a thought for his interpreter?

I'm sure he can interpret a p45. Although if the yank comes in he might be needed once again

I have always considered my French master's comment on my A-level essay, "A direct route to instant failure" the most concise and accurate demolition possible.

I had thought the football equivalent of my essay's shortcomings was appointing Steve Bruce as manager, but Leeds, with a resolve only available in Yorkshire, are trying to prove that something worse than Steve Bruce and my essay does indeed exist.

They had the best coach in the world, a man so respected that the best managers in football all seek his advice and all pay tribute to his influence on their success, and what do they do? When they are in trouble and struggling, they sack the man. That is the man all their best players admired. That's the man who would have been most likely to steer them clear of relegation.

"A direct route to instant failure"? Burnley, Watford and Brentford will be delirious. I can't imagine how a new man picks a team up at this point.

By the way, Bielsa's interpreter does much more than interpret.
