Pat Nevin has compared Jesse Marsch's ability to deflect media focus away from his own players to former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho was a master at shouldering the burden, while his players focused on competing for silverware season after season. Although Marsch has never referred to himself as 'the special one', he has made blatant attempts to steer the eyes of the media away from his players.
That is something which Nevin has acknowledged and the ex-Chelsea winger has commended Marsch for taking the stick amid Leeds' recent drop in form.
