Leeds: Conor McGilligan fuming as Jesse Marsch agrees Southampton move

Presenter and YouTuber Conor McGilligan has hit out at Leeds United after former manager Jesse Marsch is set to take over at Southampton.
The Lowdown: Marsch news
Marsch was dismissed at Elland Road over a week ago, with the Whites still currently on the hunt to bring in his successor.
However, the American hasn’t wasted any time in finding a new job and looks set to take charge of Southampton after they sacked Nathan Jones on Sunday. The former Leeds boss is the lead candidate at St Mary’s and talks went well on Monday, as per The Athletic.
The Latest: McGilligan fuming
McGlligan, presenter of One Leeds Fan Channel, took to Twitter to react to the news regarding Southampton and Marsch. He hit out at those at Elland Road, describing the club as a ‘joke’, in a ‘grim state’ and ‘desperate’.
“We are a joke – you might laugh at the appointment, but another club have made a managerial appointment look less farcical than Leeds United. This is such a grim state the club are in right now. Desperate.”
The Verdict: Next weekend…
You’d expect that Andrea Radrizzani, the 49ers Enterprises and Victor Orta have been left extremely frustrated with how the club’s search for a new manager has played out, and this update won’t help things.
Marsch was brought in at Leeds relatively quickly after Marcelo Bielsa left the club 12 months ago, but things haven’t gone as smoothly this time around. Another relegation rival securing a new manager within days compared to Leeds taking over a week isn’t ideal, so we can understand McGilligan’s frustration.
The two sides actually meet at Elland Road next weekend, so it’ll be extremely interesting to see the reception Marsch receives, as Joe Donnohue says – ‘petrol on a bonfire’.
