Simon Jordan has said Jesse Marsch does not have what it takes to take Leeds United to the next level.

Recently, another talkSPORT pundit in Gabby Agbonlahor took a swipe at Marsch, saying his touchline antics were ‘all for show.’

Now, Simon Jordan has also blasted the Leeds boss, who was appointed by the club in January last year.

When Marcelo Bielsa was given the marching orders by the Whites, the club were just two points off the relegation zone.

While many felt Jesse Marsch would be unable to ensure Leeds United would stay in the Premier League, he managed to do so, with his side finishing 17th.

After a summer where Leeds brought in a number of astute additions, the expectations could well have been that the club would challenge for a place in the top 10.

However, it is key to remember that Marsch saw his side’s two best players in Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips depart the club.

As a result, it has not been plain sailing for the former RB Leipzig boss in the slightest.

However, Simon Jordan has decided not to mince matters, which is as on-brand as it can get from him.

Simon Jordan has criticised Jesse Marsch by saying that he lacks the minerals to take Leeds United hit new heights.

“I think Leeds are a management decision away from being a bigger football club, because I don’t think Jesse Marsch has got the chops”, Simon Jordan said on talkSPORT.

Regardless of whether Jesse Marsch is fit to ensure Leeds United elevate in the near future, it is rather harsh from Simon Jordan to be as blunt as he has been with his criticism of the £80,000-a-week tactician.
