Marcelo Bielsa

[Kev The Rat]

Come on Marcelo

You’re our only hope

 

[Egil Olsen]

I am a supporter of Bielsa, especially how he has systematized the offensive phase. However, I have two major concerns:

1) His defensive system, man marking, is incredibly vulnerable. He has said himself that the offensive phase is what really interests him, and therefore he needs a defensive system that takes a short time to learn.

2) The training methodology. It seems completely outdated, and will lead to overtraining both physically and mentally, and many injuries will be a consequence.

People that rather get Dyche than Bielsa are enemies of this club.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Honestly they just make stories up surrounding people who are being considering how the hell do they know what's been 'acknowledged'

There will be interviews for whoever wants the job and they will pick who they think will do the best and thats that

None of this absolute media decadence that only belongs stained on the inside of under crackers

Bielsa is not the kind of manager we need right now. His football was entertaining because the games provided plenty of goals, but Leeds showed they could win a game 4-0 one week and next week lose 0-4. He`s gonna cost a fortune and cause a lot of changes in the backroom staff which would take time to settle down, time we don`t have to waste.

I don`t think Big Sam would come back, so I`d like Dyche to have a go. His football wont be easy on the eye but relegation fights are not really won by poor teams trying to play pretty football.

If we won 4-0 one week and lost 0-4 the following week, we'd stay up. I'm in.

Is that really different to the others though? Obviously it's different for you, because it's your club, but i'm pretty sure others would say the same about how they feel about heroes at their club. The idea that no other set of fans has ever felt the way you did about Bielsa sounds very much like something our friends across the park would claim to be honest, and we'd laugh at them.

Did football not just become fun again because you started winning? That's how most people feel I would have thought. You were rubbish, he stopped you from being rubbish, so you love him. So far so normal. I find it hard to believe that you'd have felt exactly the same about him if you were still finishing midtable in the Championship. That's my point really, if Bielsa came here and did really well, we'd love him. If he came here and took us down and then didn't get us back up, we wouldn't. This idea that the fans would idolise him just because isn't grounded in reality, it would all be down to how well he did at his job.

We where supporting the manager and the team whilst getting beat 7-0 at City. I can't think of anything less Kopite.

We've gone from the European cup final, to Div2 (as was), to champions of England, the latter stages of the champions league, then broke, relegated, broke again, Ken Bates buying us for a quid - twice - , Dennis f*cking Wise as manager, relegated again to L1 and starting the season on -15 points, to clawing our way back up to being a lower mid-table championship side. Then we got Bielsa, dominated games, came up, finished in the top half and played the best football I have seen (I've being a Leeds fan through all the above events) with a team of mainly journeymen lower league pro's and a few kids. He gets a pass for a few kamikaze performances against the top sides. As a club, we are about as far away from Liverpool - a club who talks about finishing 7th in the premier as the 'dark years' as you could get. I know Everton fans tend to have that gallows humour trait and like a good moan about how useless the club is etc... (with some justification in fairness) then imagine getting relegated, then relegated again, getting bought by the Moores family and them installing Ian Rush as your manager as you start a season in league one after getting docked -15 points for being skint. Leeds aren't afraid of losing mate, we are more surprised when we win.

Ralph "I wanna be Klopps best mate" Hasslehoff would be an absolutely disastrous appointment.

How they didn't have anyone lined up within 5 minutes of sacking Lampard shows you how completely and utterly clueless the people who run our club are.

It's going to take a fkin miracle to turn this ship around.

The shivering thought of hiring a manager whose team conceded 9 in a PL match. Twice.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Thelwell wants Corberan ... So Mosh tells Thelwell to put all his efforts into getting Bielsa - why hire the monkey if you can get the organ grinder... Thelwell spends days trying to convince Bielsa. Meanwhile BK starts talking up Dyche and hey presto.... we are screwed again!

 

[Ibby]

Mixed feelings on Marcelo.

 

[mccole]

Sadly seeing all the leaked media over how much it costs for Bielsa, I fear it will be Dyche.

If we sell Gordon, I'd happily give Bielsa the cash over Dyche who will sign dross

 

[Lanolin]

Lump on him, dyche is a distraction to get people to accept this failed premier league manager as being the best option of the failed premier league managers on the table.

 

[slipstream86]

If we won 4-0 one week and lost 0-4 the following week, we'd stay up. I'm in.

If we loose 4-5 one week and then and 5-4 the following week then we go down.

Total mad gamble but would be fun

I can see that scenario...for sure if we end up with dyche, means indeed like lampard that it's the board who decides, not moshiri on his own

Relegation won`t be fun.
