SallyCinnamon Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 At the FIFA Awards? Really? What an absolute joke that is. What has he done that is so incredible to be alongside the names of Klopp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Rimmer Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I find it a bit weird, he's so highly rated-I wonder why he's never had a top job? He even has a 40k new stadium named after him in Argentina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well take away Argentina are they top jobs? I wouldn't say so, point was the level of respect he's had in the game you wonder why he's never had a chance at the very top clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to have a say in every facet of the football at the club. And he wouldn't get that at Barcelona, Real, Bayern, etc. 1 Just not bothered...

SiJ Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Farcical. He's a great manager, but the amount of hype which surrounds him (at times) is a bit bonkers. I might be wrong, but isn't Leeds one of the few times where he actually won/achieved something tangible? Doesn't he have a reputation for playing innovative, attacking football, but winning bugger all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 The hype around him is mental. He's a good manager and has a good philosophy, but he's hardly taken a team from 3rd tier to CL in a couple of years, he's taken a team with the biggest budget up and has them lower mid table. Meh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh Tbf, some of the stuff I've heard since he got Leeds back up. The best promoted team ever...after a handful of games. They had a match on MNF between Leeds and Leicester where they didn't even talk about Leicester in the build up. The game ended 1-4 to Leicester and could have been a lot more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Steve Coppell got Reading promoted on one of the lowest wage budgets in the league with a Championship points record of 106. The following season he finished 8th in the Prem with the same side. Far far better than what Bielsa achieved with Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they lost two games all season, which is an incredible achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
