Marcelo Bielsa

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

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

We could give Dyche a ring and see if he wants to join in as well.

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

Which is a bit mad, as the world and its dog, knows that we can’t score goals or retain the ball in the middle of the park.

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.

Indeed. Moshiri seems to be the driving force behind this different approach too. Whether he gets it right or not this time remains to be seen, probably not but we have definitely seen a lot more of him in the past week than the 15 months before which is a start. Perhaps the genuine threat of relegation and civil war between the club and supporters finally prompted him to get off his ass and protect his investment.

No, that was Pablo Quiroga.

I noticed a few times it mentioned that he liked the "pressing" game. Just not having that because Klopp was the one who invented the pressing game, just ask any journalist.

He’s currently engaged, filming Rita, Sue and Bob too, the sequel.

They have to move quick due to the transfer window - hopefully it has focused the minds.

Tim Cahill...

I mean Cahill isn’t the director and he also didn’t start working there till 2021 soooo… not that interesting.

Up there with the worst bum gas I've ever seen on here.

he is a director of Aspire….. there at least 3 other goons with ‘Sporting this, that, the other’ directorships.
Tbh if he had anything to do with recommending Lampard he can gtf with his opinions and recommendations.

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.

The big issue for me with Bielsa is exactly this really. You hand over the keys and buy into a new culture for a manager to say it's my way or the highway for how long exactly? He's 67, and in his 10 club management roles he's lasted less than a year in 5 of them, less than 2 years in another 4, and a massive 3 1/2 years in his longest spell. It seems like a monumentally stupid idea to change direction yet again to accommodate a bloke with that sort of record, and we have a man with an exemplary record of making monumentally stupid decisions in charge of hiring, so it's very difficult to have any faith at all in this working out well.
