Ever the pessimist Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I was kind of hoping that the Bielsa thing had died a death - not heard anything on it for a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it is happening, but he is not always successful. He may be a role model to some truly exceptional managers, but have to ask why he would take a job in the Championship if his CV really was that stellar. He will also command a decent transfer budget and they are hardly solid financially if recent history is any guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred mciver Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Can't see Bielsa staying long at Leeds. Not if he buys those sleeping pods he had in France last season so players can stay on training ground from 9am to 6pm. Plus he's now after an Argentine stopper.

Well within P&S rules and with plenty of scope for a decent transfer budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be fun watching from 30 miles away. Seriously, Bielsa changed football so he should deserve respect. Unfortunately he seems to have gone crazy but it's an interesting experiment.

torryowl Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 never heard of bielsa so looked him up on the net …...seems a strong personality who does things his way whether that will be a good marriage with the car crash owners of leeds only time will tell . ...I suspect not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I think it’s a great appointment. It might not work, and I suppose most managerial appointments are more likely not to work but at least it’s exciting. Sometimes things click and what’s the worst that can happen... he does badly and they sack him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it ironic that every year since I've been on this forum (3/4 years now?) you come on here bigging up what a great position Leeds United are in for the season ahead. It could be your apparently superior financial position, the quality of manager, the quality of player... It's the consistent assuredness you have that gets me every time. What was Einstein's definition of madness again? So, go on then good sir... what do you think your chances are of finishing in a better position than mid-table? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this is the appointment where it all clicks for them. Is the current squad good enough to challenge for the top 6? Probably not, though Biesla might be able to coerce something extra out of them. Thing is - it's the Championship. For the most part, you're wasting your time trying to predict what's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
