How Jesse Marsch's Leeds United win ratio stacks up against Marcelo Bielsa and other previous Whites managers
The Whites are now winless in their last eight league games as they dropped into the Premier League’s bottom three.
A section of Leeds fans turned on Marsch during Thursday night’s 4-0 defeat at Leicester City and they called for him to go again in increasing numbers on Sunday as Fulham exposed their shortcomings. Chants of “sack the board” were also heard.

I’m trying to push them to understand how to get better and we have to demand that now for the next game. We have to do everything we can again to try to figure out how to get the win.”
With Marsch coming under increasing pressure, defender Luke Ayling made clear Marsch still had the players’ support.
He said: “All the boys in that changing room are right behind him. He came in last year in a tricky position and kept us in the Premier League and we’re all behind him this year.
“We’re going to try and pick ourselves up and go again for Saturday. Stay calm. I know it’s hard to say that, but we’re only 11 games into the season.”
