David O'Leary says Leeds United's decision to part ways with Javi Gracia at this stage of the season stinks of 'desperation'.
Gracia is on the verge of being sacked after just 10 weeks at the helm, and Leeds are in talks with Sam Allardyce over becoming his successor.
The Spaniard has won just three out of his 11 league games at Leeds, who currently sit 17th and are only separated from the relegation zone on goal difference.
