Marsch helped steer Leeds clear of relegation last season but there has been no notable improvements on the last campaign.

Another poor performance sparked backlash in the away end at the King Power stadium on Thursday with some fans making it clear their allegiances do not lie with the current manager.

Instead many sang the name of former manager Marcelo Bielsa, who was sacked in February.

Bielsa was a big fan favourite at Elland Road after guiding the club back to the Premier League and keeping them up in their first season back.

He played an attractive brand of attacking, open football, which many supporters appreciated.

However, not everyone believes it was a recipe for success and some argued Bielsa’s style would have led to an even worse result against the Foxes.

One supporter of Bielsa said: “Chants of Marcelo Bielsa. We should of never let him go.”

Another added: “Chants of Marcelo Bielsa tonight. Marsch is finished.”

But a naysayer commented: “Ah yes, Bielsa…it’d have been 6-0 tonight if he was still in charge.”

Another added: “Wouldn’t take Bielsa back, that ships sailed a long time ago.”

And a third said: “Bielsa chants are embarrassing.”
