Leeds manager Jesse Marsch has been sacked after less than a year in charge.

Leeds lost 1-0 at Nottingham Forest on Sunday to extend their run of Premier League games without a win to seven.

They are 17th in the table - above the relegation zone only on goal difference - and last won in the league on 5 November.

Leeds finished 17th last season after American Marsch succeeded Marcelo Bielsa in February.

    A good man but sadly flawed in this unforgiving landscape of top level British football.

    Hope to see him back someday. He's better than people think.

    Sack him or keep him? It doesn't really matter. Leeds will be relegated either way.

    Like the guy, but that group of players should be playing alot better than they are. The defensive frailties in particular have not been improved at all.

    Nice guy but results just weren't there. I definitely wish him well - that win at Brentford to keep us up last season will live forever in the memory.

    But sorry to say, this is the correct decision.

    I really hoped it would work out for him but results are what makes and breaks managers

    Shame, seems a decent chap but just couldn't get the best out of the players. Good luck for the future Jesse.
