Thomas Sorensen says Leeds United replacing Javi Gracia with four games of the season remaining "reeks of severe desperation".
Gracia collected just three wins from his 11 Premier League games and leaves Leeds sitting outside the relegation zone only on goal difference.
They face none other than reigning champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in their next outing, and have chosen to sack Gracia, and replace him with Sam Allardyce.
