Marcelo Bielsa

[Goat]

Is the obvious thing simply to get Bielsa and Corberan (spelling?!) from WBA and give them the remainder of the season with the intention that Corberan is then appointed on a full time basis from the summer.

Worked together lots.

So you want to pay 2 managers?

Bold move.

Sky reporting having someone in place by Friday mate - our approach to this is interesting - last year we had about 3 weeks of interviews, doesn't seem the case or process this year.

We’ve been speaking to Beilsa before the West Ham game - maybe ?

So did Eddie Howe. A team I mean.

I was never an advocate for Howe but he at least was an attacking coach whose teams score goals, which is the main area I think we are lacking.
Dyche is a limited defensive coach whose teams have a notoriously low scoring rate. So I don’t see how he’s the man to improve our attacking transitions.
We need to score to win games, we aren’t likely to survive on a clutch of 0-0 draws.

Seen that. Reckon he's got this info from the guy in the security hut.

Why would they work together?

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse than xGer's and book valuers, we have coaching staff wage experts lol

If 1 manager can do well and save us, 2 managers can win us the league easily, right?

If whatever manager is eventually appointed keeps us up, then they deserve all the plaudits.

If that's Dyche - then for me considerations as to style and everything that goes with it are secondary. We've lost that argument for the time being and pragmatism trumps everything else. I don't care in the short- to medium- term what tactics are employed to get results.

If we go down, there is the possibility of another managerial change anyway but you'd assume whomever is hired in the next couple of weeks will want to stay on, come what may. We would have to go down fighting as a minimum for that to happen.

I think Dyche is more likely to keep us up and Bielsa more likely to get us up but whether it's either or none of them in the job, it's up to the eventual appointee to make the job his own and try to put his mark on things. For me, they take the job trying their best to keep us up, but accepting the real possibility, some would say likelihood, of failure in that regard.

Bottom line for me is some stability based on results - anything else won't do. I have little to no interest in how we get them, The School of Science shut it's doors a long time ago for it to have any practical meaning. It is welcome to come back when we have the players capable of doing it justice.

Bielsa is not a quick fix. Bielsa doesn't keep us up and leave, or get fired if we go down.

Bielsa is buying a new culture and handing over the keys to him.

From what I know of our owner and board, and from what the Leeds fans have told us, I am for it IF the club commits to it. Which Bielsa is forcing, seemingly, it's his way or the highway. Which frankly is just what our lot of hiders and shirkers needs. If you're going to stand around aimlessly let someone with passion and direction take the reins and get out of the way.

Why would they work together?

Corberan was his right hand man at Leeds wasn't he.

Six months together here and then Corberan takes the gig full time.

 

[Simon Buttle]

He is only going to come if we essentially rebuild our defence for him in the space of a few days.

 

[Joey66]

Do you know mate though at this stage its an area id be willing to invest for longevity - we absolutely cant keep doing this every year.

Moshiri is only after investment loans for the new Ground - as The cost of BMD as gone from 1/2 a billion to 3/4 of a billion - someone in the USA is interested in the project - first team affairs are under scrutiny of FFP over our debt we are blaming on Covid .....

Hang on...you want us to employ them both?

…how ironic if in the meantime West Brom come up & we go down.

Hard to know mate, at this stage you would hope we have sounded out the candidates - Sky are reporting Beilsa, Dyche and the Knight Rider fella - if they are leaking hoping to have someone from Friday - they may have an idea of the interest of all three in the job and tomorrow could be decision time.

I'm a believer in no 2 jobs will be the same.

Dyche could be world beater here. We do not know how it will work out.

Didn't Howe get sacked by Burnley for stinking the place out when they were in the championship?
