...are falling apart again.
Sacked their manager today.

Tin pot club

... Leeds performance this season is pretty much on a par with ours but we still choose to stick with McCarthy !...

Maybe they have more ambition ?

their disciplinary record is a disgrace to be honest, had players sent off in 4 of last 5 games or something! They have been really poor recently

To be fair - it doesn't look like either way works!

At least they possess an owner who realized the situation required attention and undertook necessary actions. Unlike the soft as sh*t charlatan we have in place who doesn't raise a damn finger regardless of how poor the team has achieved during his ownership and has allowed managers to continue (here) even when we had fallen far behind and continue/d to underachieve.

Obvious opportunity for McCarthy arises, would be more at home with a Yorkshire club side and a different challenge after five years. Not sure how their fans would react to it, but so long as it's with another team, it'll be their business, their problems to address and repair.

There's no way a club like Leeds would ever employ a dinosaur like MM as manager.
In fact, they have now appointed the Barnsley manager.
But that, in turn, may well present an opportunity at Barnsley.

I think Mick would be perfect for Barnsley. He could retire in his hometown!

Thought he’d retired in Suffolk.

I wonder why you would say that?

Leeds possess nothing but a knee jerk owner who will hire and fire to his hearts content, it has absolutely nothing to do with Ambition or desire to succeed, for years now they have sacked manager after manager and where has it got them ? In virtually the same bloody position as we are in except the difference being they have spent bloody millions to keep up with us !!! Says it all, joke of a club. The new manager wont last a year.

The year we finished fifth in the EPL, they reached a European Cup semi-final and possessed a very good team with names such as Alan Smith, Mark Viduka, Bowyer and Harte. David O Leary was manager but soon after that they fell away badly and have never been able to regain anything like that previous stature. 14 years in the Championship League or thereabouts, even as a neutral, would argue they should ideally have returned (to the elite) before present time.

I don't know who the owner or chairman is today. Peter Ridsdale would have been in position for the aforementioned era but guessing new names have since seen involvement. This Heckinbottom character (not a name you can easily recognize) could be a solution to a problem, but thinking they could have set their sights elsewhere. Would appear the decision was made in a hurry without proper consideration taken for potential risks and consequences.

However the decision was taken, it will inevitably end up as another statistic in the disaster that is Leeds United Football Club!
