Marcelo Bielsa

[Double Negative]

Leeds yeah yeah, great club.

Their biggest achievement was that episode of Porridge where the guy escaped from prison and tunnelled onto the Elland Rd pitch.

Jesse Marsch? Jesse Farce more like.

Am I right?

You’re not wrong…

The reality then could be that Dyche keeps us up - I mean, that's why you would hire him above Bielsa - but then you can't really jettison him.

So, this talk of hiring Bielsa in the summer is fine - if we are hiring him from the Championship. If Sean Dyche keeps us up, the fans' lust for "stylish football" will have to wait. Dyche will be going nowhere.

I think we could rustle up a little sweetener for him to hit the road once he's done the job. Nice little nearly new Mondeo with a boot full of blu-rays maybe.

1 million quid a month for him and his entourage.

Safe to say if he comes no players will be.

I think @Leedsfan1919 has given a very fair and balanced view of Bielsa here. Thanks for that mate.

Lampard was on what £400-450k a month , leaving around 500k for his 4 staff , I also assume bielsa would probably have his own fitness staff as well. Doesn’t seem to be much difference to be honest .

Yes but its extra on what we were paying as we will still be paying Frank and his team.

But that is going to be the same regardless. On that logic we can't afford anyone half decent.

Hopefully some of those big contracts being muted about (Gordon, Iwobi) havn't been signed yet.

Do you think dyche would sign for £20k a week ? Otherwise the debate is meaningless , if money isn’t found to find players for Bielsa I suspect he won’t sign . However I can’t believe any manager signs without bringing any players in . I imagine that’s why we’re trying to shift out Gordon as he’s home produced which seems extremely positive in terms of generating available cash .

Whatever manager pitches up is going to want his own staff and everyone will have to get paid so I'm not sure what you're proposing.

It may very well come down to price...think that's where Dyche becomes attractive.

Thats probably cheaper than lampard and his group, if not, not far off.

 

[blue to the bone]

Just get it done if he is the one they want

Bingo!

I think when you’re dealing with a relegation loss of about £150m , added to our current loses that’s the very epitome of a false economy.

I’m not convinced on bielsa with this squad but if we want him , not signing him because dyche is cheaper is insane .

Errr just a reminder for the 'Dyche keeps us up' advocates. You do recall that Burnley sacked him with eight matches of the season remaining as they plummeted towards their certain, inevitable relegation right? A demise presided over by the apparent saviour Sean. Uh huh.
