Former Leeds United defender Danny Mills believes the club may have hit the panic button in sacking manager Jesse Marsch, but says the American's strange behaviour didn't help his cause in recent weeks after failing to admit the club's perilous position. Leeds announced on Monday afternoon that Marsch had been relived of duties after less than a year in charge, with a 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest his final game in charge.
The loss at the City Ground has left the Whites firmly in a relegation fight sitting 17th in the Premier League table, only ahead of Everton (who have just changed their manager) on goals scored. Despite a run of results that has seen Leeds go three months since their last league victory, Marsch continued to remain positive about his side's performances and didn't appear to concede his side were even in a relegation fight.
Mills believes those comments and some of the American's reactions to recent results failed to help his cause with the club's owners.
