In a world where everything in football needs to have happened yesterday, a head coach search heading into a fourth day can start to concern some supporters. Why have we sacked someone without a replacement ready? Why is our club being rejected by all and sundry? Are we realistically looking at an interim option until the end of the season?
When people speak about a topic as emotional as their football club (Leeds United), you can understand irrational responses, requests or hypotheses. With a lot of the reporting on Jesse Marsch’s replacement framed around Carlos Corberan and Andoni Iraola’s supposed knock-backs, along with Feyenoord’s public resistance to losing Arne Slot, concerns are bubbling up.
From what we understand, neither Corberan nor Iraola rejected the Whites. The former was never on the initial four-man shortlist, while the stalled pursuit of the latter is more down to Rayo Vallecano than the Basque.
