Marsch had come under mounting pressure after a run of eight matches without a win and four straight defeats had seen Leeds plummet into the relegation zone.

The Whites pulled off a memorable victory at Anfield to end that wretched run and climb out of the relegation zone and then kicked on with a brilliant comeback to take another three points against Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. Earle used Steven Gerrard’s sacking at Aston Villa as an example of a manager losing the trust of his players, and doesn’t believe that Marsch is facing the same dilemma at Elland Road.
